Commercial windows

The sleeve is part of the opening

· Houston desk

A packaged terminal air conditioner wants a hole in the same wall as the glass. If the window quote ignores the sleeve, the frame and the unit arrive as strangers.

Send the PTAC condition with the window type. Say what the drawings show: sleeve size, location, and the glass around it. "There is a PTAC" is a start, not a size.

Product sourcing

Product sourcing for commercial windows includes a PTAC opening when the drawings show the sleeve. Division 8 USA is a Houston supplier of commercial architectural products for hospitality, multifamily, commercial, student housing, and senior living. The services are specification review, product sourcing, project quotations, procurement coordination, and delivery coordination.

What to send

  • The PTAC or sleeve condition from the drawings
  • Window type and sizes around that opening
  • Frame finish and quantity
  • Any performance values the specification requires
  • Project location

What this note will not do

The PTAC page names standards as references. It does not print one Florida approval code, and Division 8 USA does not issue that approval.

More on commercial windows. The five services are on product sourcing. Send the specification for a project quotation.

What should a PTAC window request include?

The sleeve or unit condition, the window type and size, the frame finish, the quantity, and the project location.
