What is a Heavy-Duty Window & Door system?
Heavy-Duty refers to the construction and make up of Biscayne Aluminum Windows and Doors. Aluminum stands above the rest in the coastal climates based on the simple fact — Extruded Aluminum Is Stronger! Will not crack, rot or breakdown over time from coastal weather.
