Fully Welded Construction – No Screws or Sealants: The Strength of Seaway Windows
When it comes to window durability and performance, construction quality is everything. Unlike many competitors who rely on screws, mechanical fasteners, or sealants, Seaway Windows feature fully welded construction—ensuring long-lasting strength, durability, and superior energy efficiency.
What Is Fully Welded Construction?
Seaway Windows are built with 4-corner welds on their 3.25-inch frames and both sashes. This means that instead of using screws or adhesives to hold the window together, the frame and sashes are permanently fused during manufacturing.
The result? A seamless, strong, and highly durable window structure that resists air and water infiltration while maintaining long-term stability.
Why Fully Welded Construction Matters
Many window manufacturers cut costs by assembling windows using screws, fasteners, or sealants. While this may be a quicker production method, it has several drawbacks:
❌ Weakened Structural Integrity – Over time, screws can loosen, and sealants can break down, compromising the window’s strength.
❌ Increased Air & Water Leaks – Gaps between fastened parts allow air drafts and water infiltration, leading to potential damage.
❌ Higher Maintenance & Repairs – As screws loosen and sealants deteriorate, homeowners may face costly repairs or premature replacements.
Seaway Windows eliminate these issues with fully welded frames and sashes, making them stronger, longer-lasting, and more energy efficient than mechanically fastened alternatives.
Benefits of Seaway’s Fully Welded Windows
✅ Superior Strength & Durability – The seamless fusion of the frame and sashes creates an incredibly strong window that won’t weaken over time.
✅ Enhanced Weather Resistance – No screws or sealants mean fewer weak points where air, moisture, and pests can enter.
✅ Better Energy Efficiency – Welded frames create a tighter seal, reducing drafts and helping to lower energy bills.
✅ Improved Aesthetic Appeal – The clean, seamless look enhances the beauty of your home, with no visible screws or messy sealant lines.
✅ Low Maintenance & Long Lifespan – Without mechanical fasteners to loosen or sealants to degrade, Seaway Windows require minimal upkeep and last for decades.
How Seaway Windows Compare to Competitors
Many lower-end window brands rely on mechanical fasteners, screws, or sealants to hold their frames and sashes together. Unfortunately, this assembly method leaves windows prone to shifting, warping, and air leaks over time.
Seaway Windows stand out because of their high-quality, precision-welded construction, ensuring a tighter seal and unmatched durability.
| Feature | Mechanically Fastened Windows | Seaway Fully Welded Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Assembly Method | Screws, fasteners, sealants | Fusion-welded frames & sashes |
| Long-Term Durability | Prone to loosening & shifting over time | Strong, seamless structure won’t weaken |
| Air & Water Resistance | More gaps = higher risk of leaks | Tighter seal prevents drafts & water infiltration |
| Energy Efficiency | Lower efficiency due to air leaks | Better insulation = Lower energy costs |
| Maintenance Needs | Higher maintenance due to fastener/sealant breakdown | Low-maintenance, long-lasting performance |
Built for Lasting Performance
Seaway’s fully welded frames are designed to handle extreme weather conditions, from intense summer heat to freezing winter temperatures. Because there are no screws or sealants to fail, your windows will stay strong and energy efficient year after year.
