One window. One type. One standard size. Engineered, documented and shown in the open. Size TBD, pending confirmation
SH Windows makes one window and puts everything about it on the table: the drawing, the layers, the install, and the status of every test and approval. Nothing is rounded up, and nothing is published before it’s proven.
The Standard Home Window is the only product SH Windows offers. It comes in one type and one standard size, built for Florida homes. Size TBD, pending confirmation
A real-time 3D model drawn by your own device’s graphics chip (WebGL through three.js). It is built from code as a schematic of a generic single-hung window. Proportions are pending confirmation, and no dimensions are implied.
What this model is: generic single-hung anatomy only (frame, fixed upper sash, operable lower sash, glass, balances, lock, fin). Glass makeup, profile shapes, reinforcement, hardware and fin details are pending engineering confirmation. Next step: replace with a glTF exported from SH Windows engineering CAD.
Vertical section through head, meeting rail and sill. Each note separates generic single-hung anatomy (true of the window type) from Standard Home Window specifics, which stay Pending until engineering, test reports and the Florida approval confirm them.
FS 553.842 gate: no impact, hurricane, windstorm or design-pressure rating is claimed for the Standard Home Window on this page. Ratings appear only after the Florida product approval is issued and George signs off on the wording.
On browsers with CSS scroll-driven animations the stack separates as you scroll. Everywhere else, or if you prefer, use the slider. The layer list is generic single-hung anatomy; anything specific to the Standard Home Window is marked Pending.
Two openings, two sequences: a wood frame opening and a masonry (CMU) opening with a 2x buck. Each starts with the opening measurements for The Standard Home Window (George’s “25 egress window”), then the parts animate into place on their own. Scrub, step and rotate the live 3D scene.
DRAFT: SH installation instructions in development. Opening sizes for the “25 egress window” are TBD, pending confirmation. Fastener type, size, spacing, edge distance, embedment and substrates come from SH’s own Florida product approval once issued (PENDING). Values marked “PGT ref.” are reference values only, and the spacing shown is illustrative.
Every value is shown exactly as it stands today. Nothing is filled in until a test report, an issued approval or engineering supplies it.
FL# shown and linked to floridabuilding.org once issued.
FL# TBDDecision pending. Nothing on this site implies HVHZ use.
Not claimedPublished only from the test report and the approval.
PendingNot described as impact or hurricane (FS 553.842).
Not claimedOne standard size. Pending confirmation, no dimensions published.
PendingType, thickness, coatings and interlayer (if any) are pending.
PendingApproved instructions plus anchor schedule. Install animation above is a draft.
DraftNo U-factor or SHGC is published until certified.
Not claimedThis shows the generic process. The Standard Home Window’s current stage is not published here. Status: Pending
“NAFS,” the North American Fenestration Standard. Defines performance classes and grades for windows and doors, with structural (uniform load), air-leakage, water-penetration and forced-entry testing. The Florida Building Code lists which editions it accepts, and each approval states the edition used.
Practice for determining the load resistance of glass in buildings, using non-factored-load charts and glass-type factors. It covers glass only, not the frame, anchors or the full window, which are proven by test.
The wind-load standard the 2023 (8th edition) Florida Building Code references. It is used to find the wind pressure a specific opening on a specific building must resist.
No test results are claimed. These cards explain what the standards are. They do not state or imply that the Standard Home Window has been tested to, or has passed, any of them. Legal + engineering review before launch
Energy numbers come from an NFRC-certified rating. Until the Standard Home Window is rated, every value reads Pending. Here is what each number will mean for a Florida home.
Placeholder layout. Not an NFRC label. No energy values are published until certified ratings exist. Glass makeup TBD
SH Windows offers one window only: one type, one size. Every value comes from the test report, the approval or engineering. Until then it reads Pending.
