Wausau Window and Wall Systems

Blast Hazard Mitigation

As extreme pressures released by an explosive mass impinge on a building’s exterior walls, the elements of the window or curtainwall assembly work together, to withstand the blast load and dissipate its energy. Instead of the historical design practice of specifying thick windows with rigid frames, modern blast-mitigating assemblies are intended to be flexible, and absorb, rather than resist, blast energy. With more than ten years’ experience in blast hazard mitigation, Wausau’s expertise can be leveraged on your project, whether for standard operable windows, fixed window wall or curtainwall, or systems custom-designed to your unique requirements.

Historical And Replacement

Knitting old and new, blending original materials and original ideas, Wausau understands the sensitivities of preserving historic buildings – whether replicating Gothic steel frames, mimicking wood and putty-glazed sashes, or providing historically accurate products to match distinctive details of steel replica windows, true divided lite muntin grids and era-appropriate color combinations.

Hurricane Impact Products

In hurricane-prone regions of the U.S., up and down the Atlantic coast and along the Gulf of Mexico, wind-borne debris protection is essential. Keeping windows intact keeps facilities serviceable, and protects occupants as well as other building components.
