Window City completed this custom window install at the Robert Wood Johnson Hospital.  The crew installed more than 800 custom fixed windows and over 40 specially designed “Psychiatric Windows” made to resist human impact and reduce chances of ligature injuries for psychiatric patient safety.

These special windows have passed all required AAMA tests including air, water, human impact and structural performance. The windows allow for healing natural light to flow into the patient rooms from their open frame build.  The possibility of injuries from broken glass is greatly reduced and the windows are tested to resist breakage from more than 300 pounds of swinging force.

Window City’s team performed a custom retro fit installation to achieve a higher level of safety and increased window durability.  The crew fastened 4×4 custom steel tubes at the center of each opening and later secured eash window within a 3/8″ thick continuous encased steel opening.
