# A1 Windows - 350 Series Aluminum Window Wall System

> **Page URL:** https://a1windows.ca/350_series_aluminum/
> **Description:** Details, specifications, and performance features of A1 Windows' 350 Series Aluminum Window Wall Systems, designed with advanced rainscreen technology and superior thermal breaks.

## System Overview & Performance
The 350 Series window/window wall system is designed according to **rainscreen principles**, a standard in the waterproofing of most types of building envelopes.
* **Structural Engineering:** The entire system—including seals, barriers, corners, and coupled connections—is sealed with durable gaskets. It is engineered to accommodate structural and wind load, inter-storey drift, and seismic activity.
* **Independent Movement:** Individual windows can move independently of each other, as well as independently from interfacing envelope materials and structural elements.

## Key Features

### Rainscreen Design
* Critical barriers and pressure-equalized cavities shed water and manage moisture.
* Achieves the highest water resistance rating possible (B7 referencing CSA-A440-08).

### High-Performance Frame
* **Profile:** Compact T6 Aluminum 3 ½ inch main frame.
* **Application:** Ideal for retrofit and building envelope rehabilitation because it minimizes cutbacks. Specifically engineered for efficient aluminum window installation.

### Energy Saving (Thermal Performance)
* The system is heavily thermally broken using polyamide struts.
* Struts are optimally located within the perimeter and sash framework to greatly limit conductive energy transfer, providing superior thermal performance and energy savings.

### Interior Glazed
* All 350 Series windows are interior glazed and face-sealed with a Vision Strip.
* The glazing bead is made of extruded aluminum (not vinyl), ensuring long-term durability, performance, and exact colour matching.

### Fully Compliant & Certified
* All models are tested and independently certified by QAI (a leading third-party testing, inspection, and certification organization).
* 350 Series aluminum windows are fully NAFS-08 compliant, meeting the highest industry standards for replacement windows.

## Available 350 Series Styles
A1 Windows offers the 350 Series thermally-broken aluminum frames in multiple configurations:
* **Awning Windows**
