High-rise window replacement

Hoisting, wind, access, and altitude make high-rise window work a different discipline. AirGuard has been doing it on tri-state towers since 1984.

High-rise programs demand engineering and logistics most contractors can't field: install sequences that work at altitude, window-wall and curtain-wall systems, and schedules measured against weather windows.

Waterside Plaza is the benchmark — four 37-story towers, 6,000 windows, under seven months, using an interlocking opening system we engineered. The Schwab House and River Crossing show the same capability across thousands of openings.

From floor-to-ceiling panels to sliders and balcony doors, we supply and install the system your tower needs.
