Weather Shield offers new custom-designed hardware

Weather Shield Windows & Doors has launched a new line of custom-designed contemporary hardware, offering squared-off, clean lines.

The line includes new casement and awning nested handle sets and sequential lock levers that can match the company's existing Contemporary Collection and Premium Coastal product line.

“Weather Shield was intent on developing authentic, true-to-style contemporary hardware,” said David Gilson, business manager for Roto-Frank of North America, manufacturer of the hardware. “We sought input from architects and designers throughout our design process to ensure authenticity and acceptance by those who specialize in modern-style architecture.”

A new color option is now available for hardware as well. Polished chrome will join the ranks of the existing finishes of white, tan, brushed nickel, polished brass, black and rustic bronze.

“Weather Shield strives to provide the most architecturally correct product lines, down to the finer points,” said Dave Koester, brand manager for Weather Shield Windows & Doors. “Visual details, such as those in our new Contemporary hardware, are incredibly important to the architects and high-end custom builders we serve. These details are closely scrutinized and help separate Weather Shield from many other manufacturers.”
