Riviera Bronze steel window and door systems provide the narrowest sight lines while maintaining robust product strength and flexibility. Our precision steel systems command a 1 5/8” sight line. Our thermally broken stainless steel requires only 1/8” more!
Riviera Bronze works with you to create a window or door system that will not only meet your design intent but also work to ensure flawless performance for decades to come. (shown below are a few examples of the steel windows and doors we can create for you)
High-Quality Glass: Glass is a highly-important, integral part of our steel window and door systems. Riviera Bronze utilizes only the highest caliber glass manufacturers. We hand-inspect over 10,000 panes of glass each year to ensure each one is of the highest quality.
Factory Glazing: Many of our competitors’ ship empty metal frames and turn over the crucial step of glazing to a third party. Riviera Bronze chooses to provide our customers with fully glazed products to safeguard the outcome of your investment. We painstakingly employ a
“wet glazing” process in which Dow Corning 795 Structural Silicon is utilized at both the interior and exterior sight lines.
Glass Types: Riviera Bronze steel window and door systems are engineered to accept virtually any glass type…laminated and dual or triple pane insulated glass.
Maximum Glass Size: Riviera Bronze thermally broken stainless steel window and door systems can accept glass up to 1 ¼” thick and 60 square feet per pane. The steel window and door systems can accept up to 7/8” glass with a maximum area of 35 square feet per pane of glass.
Riviera Bronze precision steel and thermally broken stainless steel window and door systems are both available in true divided light. Our steel muntins create and elegant narrow light breakup with dual-glazed muntins at 1 1/8” and single glazed muntins at 7/8”!
Riviera Bronze has created an innovative, proprietary glazing system called “Integrated Divided Light”. The purpose for this system is to maximize energy values while conveying the elegance and distinction of a true divided light aesthetic.
