The Storm-Tite bus window series are hidden frame windows. These windows are also commonly referred to as bonded windows, frame-less bus windows, flush bus windows and European transit style windows.
Our signature Storm-Tite brand Flush Window Series was designed to address the needs of the more style-conscious fleet operators that place a high-value on-road appeal. This line of frame-less bus windows provide a streamlined appearance to create an aerodynamic and visually appealing effect that is truly impressive on the road.
With an exterior comprised entirely of tempered or laminated glass, these bonded transit windows do not include the use of painted metal panels that are susceptible to fading from environmental exposure.
Available in either serviceable or non-serviceable design configuration, this model series utilizes the same superior water management system that is typical for AROW Global products and combines a simple, high-performance design with attractive interior and exterior aesthetics.
All Storm-Tite Flush Windows are built and tested in accordance with FMVSS 217 guidelines with materials that conform to the applicable requirements of ANSI Z26.1 and the recommended practices defined in SAE J673.
