AROW Global > Mass Transit > Evolution Framed Bus Window Series

AROW’s Evolution Framed Bus Windows feature a combination of the economies of traditional transom hinged egress window designs with the premium performance and features associated with all windows.

Available in either standard or rapid replacement glazing configuration and with or without hidden clamp-ring fasteners, the Evolution Framed Window Series can be equipped with all available graffiti protection options offered including our 3rd generation sacrificial protection shields that may be replaced in less than one minute.

Available in all common glazing and window configurations, a superior and updated low profile appearance adds an exceptional aesthetic appeal to this series of windows.
