When Pavarini Construction began renovation of the Tides Hotel in Miami's Art Deco art deco (ärt dĕkō`; är dākō`, ärt) or art moderne (är môdĕrn`, ärt) District, they needed windows which replicated the original Deco Era Steel Casement Windows and would also meet the standards of South Florida Impact Codes. Skyline's aluminum casement windows withstood 100 mph winds and debris, meeting the rigors of "hurricane" testing and also satisfying the requirements of the Miami Historical Design Review Board. Skyline accomplished this task by utilizing structural glazing to provide narrow sight-lines, while preserving the structural integrity of the ventilators. |
