Horizontal Sliding Windbreaks

Window Craftsmen is Florida's leading manufacturer of windbreak systems for lanais, balconies, and other screen enclosures. The two-, three-, and four-track main frames are the same ones used for glass sliding windows; frame flanges can be mounted to face either inside or outside the room. The vents are glazed in either flexible vinyl sheet or rigid acrylic.

Tough and resilient, the patio-grade vinyl is available in clear as well as smoke and gray tints.

The acrylic, which is clearer, lighter and more impact-resistant than annealed glass, will not yellow under normal exposures and will retain most of its original clarity over time. Customers can choose between clear, bronze, and gray.

Vents glazed with vinyl or acrylic are designed to be easily removed by homeowners in the case of a major storm (as required by the Florida Building Code). They simply lift out of the bottom track and then are lowered free of the head jamb.

Two-track frames, in either inside or outside mount designs, are available with integral channels for removable screens. Screen channels for three- and four-track frames are fastened mechanically.
