Where Bronze Craftsmanship Meets High-Performance Window Design

Hope’s Empire Bronze™ Jamestown175™ Series combines authentic solid bronze profiles, elegant sightlines, and tested resistance to air, water, structural, and forced-entry demands.

Hope’s Windows, Inc., the nation’s leading manufacturer of custom hot-rolled steel and solid bronze window and door systems, highlights its Empire Bronze™ Jamestown175™ Series, a premium line of solid bronze windows and swinging doors engineered to combine timeless aesthetics with high performance and long-term durability. Featuring elegant sightlines, double weatherstripping, and meticulously crafted welded construction, the series gives architects and specifiers a refined bronze solution for projects where beauty, strength, and reliability must work together.

The Empire Bronze Jamestown175 Series is available in fixed, projected, and casement window configurations as well as swinging doors, allowing design teams to maintain a cohesive bronze aesthetic across a range of opening types and operating requirements. Manufactured from solid extruded bronze profiles with integral glazing rebates and continuous weatherstrip grooves, the system offers the material authenticity, precision, and durability expected in architecturally significant residential, hospitality, institutional, and commercial projects.

Its double-weatherstripped design helps improve resistance to air and water infiltration, while independently tested performance supports confidence in demanding applications. Standard products meet or exceed ASTM E283 for air infiltration, ASTM E331 for water penetration, ASTM E330 for structural performance, and ASTM F588 for forced entry resistance, giving architects and owners a bronze system that supports both refined aesthetics and dependable real-world performance.

Hope’s further strengthens the series through carefully engineered fabrication and hardware. Welded frame and ventilator construction, replaceable continuous glazing beads, and high-quality bronze and stainless steel hardware components help promote smooth operation, long-term serviceability, and premium fit and finish, while available multipoint locking hardware on swinging doors adds another layer of performance and security.

For coastal and hurricane-prone regions, impact-approved versions of the Empire Bronze Jamestown175 Series provide additional specification flexibility. These products comply with applicable IBC, IRC, Florida Building Code, and Miami-Dade requirements and meet large missile impact and cyclic wind loading standards, making the series especially attractive for high-value projects that require the visual richness of bronze without sacrificing storm-resistance performance.

Optional bronze insect screens further extend the system’s functionality while preserving a coordinated appearance. Designed to match the windows and doors, the screens are removable from the interior and rewireable for easier maintenance, adding practical convenience to the series’ architectural appeal.

With its combination of solid bronze construction, elegant sightlines, tested performance, impact-rated options, and meticulous craftsmanship, the Empire Bronze™ Jamestown175™ Series offers a specification-ready solution for projects that demand both distinction and durability.
