Global Security Window Installation.
Installing heavy-duty security windows across various environments with a need for consistent performance and long-term durability.
Grove shims are a standard part of every Harden Architectural Security installation. These shims are used to support and position high-security window systems to ensure stability and proper alignment.
Eco-Conscious Residential Construction.
Building a 5,000 sq. ft. off-the-grid home with fiber exterior panels that required perfect alignment and spacing for aesthetics and airflow.

1. To offset aluminum rails from the structure – allowing air flow expansion, and thermal performance.
2. To align fiber panels – delivering a visually flawless exterior and meeting strict design expectations.
