The Hope’s Difference

What sets Hope's apart from other steel window and door manufacturers?
Exclusive Hot-Rolled Steel Profiles
Hope’s windows and doors begin with artisans that transform billets of solid steel or architectural bronze into a variety of slim, geometrically complex, and remarkably strong profiles. This transformation is achieved through hot-rolling, a process where the metal is heated to such an extreme temperature that it becomes malleable and is then shaped by passing, or rolling, through an array of precision tooling to its final shape.
While there are some basic hot-rolled steel sections available in the marketplace that are available to anyone, Hope’s profiles are exclusive to us. Each is custom designed with strength, purpose, and aesthetic in mind. With these precision-made profiles, Hope’s crafts the world’s finest windows and doors.
Custom Choices at Every Phase of Design
Every Hope’s window and door is custom designed by you – the architect, designer, and homeowner – to achieve your specific aesthetic and performance criteria.
You choose the material – steel or bronze. You choose your frame profile, shape, size, and glass. You choose true divided lites, simulated divided lites, or large uninterrupted expanses. You choose fixed or operable windows, and you decide where and how your windows open and close. You choose the functionality of your doors – swing-in, swing-out, pivoting, lift-slide, or slide-fold. You choose your desired hardware – hinges, locks, handles, kick plates, and more – to ensure the longest-lasting and smoothest operation.
Whether new construction, retrofit, or historic preservation, designers incorporate Hope’s windows, skylights, and doors into every variety of architectural style.

Fusion Welding is a unique feature of Hope’s Windows. In this process, all frame and vent corners and muntin intersections are fused together using nearly two tons of pressure to form one continuous frame with seamless, waterproof corners. The slag that forms at welded joints is ground and sanded smooth until visually imperceptible.
Thermal Evolution™ technology is also exclusive to Hope’s Windows. Windows and doors equipped with Thermal Evolution™ technology feature fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) isolators. These isolators are precision machined to nest perfectly within Hope’s traditional solid, hot-rolled steel frame profiles where they are permanently bonded.

The Ultimate in Life Cycle Value
Windows and doors that will last a lifetime and beyond
Every Hope’s custom crafted window and door is built to last several generations – a century or longer – with minimal maintenance. Compare this long life cycle to alternatives such as wood and aluminum, and it’s clear that Hope’s is the best long-term investment both environmentally and financially.
To achieve the longest product life cycle, Hope’s employs the world’s most advanced finishing system — developed in cooperation with top U.S. metallurgists and architectural coatings suppliers.
Hope’s finishing system is engineered to ensure that windows and doors remain pristine and free from corrosion decade after decade, even in the harshest environments, inland or ocean-front.
