Frequently Asked Questions
Fire-Frame Window Simulator Training System
How is the prop constructed?
The Fire-Frame system is constructed entirely of welded steel and unbreakable window panes.
What are the panels made of?
The six simulated glass window panes on the Fire-Frame are constructed of thick polycarbonate plastic.
Do the window panes need to be replaced after each use?
No. The panels may be reused over and over again.
What is the life expectancy of the window panes?
The window panes are highly impact resistant and will never shatter. The life exptency of the panels will depend primarily upon frequency of use. Most customers can expect the window panes to last for the life of the prop.
Does the window sash need to be replaced after each use?
No. The window sash is constructed of thick steel and is intended to be reused. The sash is held in by four sacrificial wooden dowels that need to be replaced with each use.
Does the Fire-Frame need to be permanently mounted?
No. The Fire-Frame utilizes four screw jacks to quickly and easily clamp into the opening of any existing training structure with an adequately sized opening.
What size opening will the Fire-Frame fit?
The Fire-Frame requires an unobstructed opening of at least 35" x 35" and will extend to fit an opening up to 50" wide.
Can I increase the resistance of the center sash?
The resistance of the center sash can be configured using two different types of wooden dowels allowing for up to three total configurations. Harder materials such as aluminum, brass or steel can NOT be used in place of the wooden dowels and will result in damage to the prop.
Where can we purchase replacement dowels?
Replacement 1/2" dowels can be purchased inexpensively in oak or pine at any local hardware store that carries wood products such as Home Depot or Lowes.
