WINDOWS
Vertical rising windows can become very dangerous (guillotine effect). Mill finished aluminum frames and steel frames will oxidize rapidly. Nylon and steel rollers will crack and/or corrode once exposed to extreme climates. Porta-King uses only the finest, rust-resistant components and backs them with a 5 year warranty! Our standard horizontal sliding window prevents the "guillotine" effect from ever occurring.
