Slim-frame aluminum windows in a warm interior

Aluminum Windows in Scottsdale.

Thermally broken aluminum windows and door walls for Scottsdale's custom home and resort-community market, sized for the disappearing corners and long glass runs a desert-modern elevation calls for.

In short

A custom Scottsdale build asks more of a window than code minimum: low-SHGC glazing in a thermally broken aluminum frame, sized for the wide architectural openings a desert-modern home is designed around. Crateworks sources that spec factory-direct and quotes it to the actual opening, not a stock size.

Built for Scottsdale’s climate

Scottsdale's zone 2B sun is unmerciful on glass, and a custom home usually asks for more of it, not less: disappearing corner units, ten and twelve-foot door walls, clerestory runs that flood a great room with desert light. That much glazing only works with a genuinely low solar heat gain coefficient behind it, engineered into the glass itself rather than solved with a dark tint that dulls the mountain views the lot was bought for. The frame carries its own job too: a polyamide thermal break so a 100-degree exterior does not conduct straight through the aluminum into the room, and enough structural spec to hold a wide span rigid without visible mullions breaking up the sightline.

Why it suits Scottsdale

Architects speccing a Scottsdale elevation are usually chasing a sightline first and a U-factor second, and a factory-direct order lets both win: the frame profile stays as slim as the drawing calls for, and the glazing package still clears the performance the home needs. Timber cannot hold a span like this without a mullion breaking the view, and it dries and checks under this sun besides. Aluminum holds the line straight, and the spec climbs, triple-pane, motorized shade pockets, a wider clear span, without pricing itself out of the job.

Common questions

Not with the SHGC specced correctly. Low solar heat gain glazing in a thermally broken frame lets the great room open to the view without the room turning into a greenhouse by afternoon.
That is the engineering question we solve for. A wide clear span holds without a visible mullion by specing wall thickness and reinforcement to the opening, not by pulling from a stock size chart.
Send the drawing set through /brief and we build to it: frame profile, RAL color, glazing package, hardware. Nothing here comes off a fixed catalog.
Before the drawing set is final, ideally. Custom aluminum runs on a production-plus-freight window, and a Scottsdale build's design and approval timeline gives us the room to source to spec rather than to whatever ships fastest.
