Framed windows are also available in fire-rated designs featuring an assembly and window glazing manufactured and tested in accordance with UL 9 and NFPA 80 criteria.

A2 - Frameless Cleanroom Windows

Terra’s BioSafe flush-mount cleanroom windows feature an innovative CleanMount mounting system with no hardware or fasteners to support fast, easy installation.

Frameless windows include 0.25” thick tempered glass panels that overlay the wall surface on one or both sides. The glazing is attached to an internal stainless steel frame for a showcase appearance compatible with a variety of wall materials and thicknesses. The windows are designed without any cracks or crevices where microbes can aggregate and colonize, supporting easy disinfection with biocides or alcohol-based cleaners. The black faux border rests behind the glass pane to prevent scratching or degradation over time.
