Riviera Bronze Thermal Break Frame System window

The handbook description is unusually specific about the window section: 36 by 42 inches, with a steel frame, stainless steel hinges and two operable sashes. It specifies 1/4-inch-thick clear laminated annealed glass, triple layered with two layers on the exposed side and one on the unexposed side. Dow Corning Type 795 sealant and bronze latches complete that description. The exposed-side arrangement belongs to this dated assembly, rather than being a general instruction for any Riviera glazing.

The BML description captured on August 25, 2026 names a Thermal Break Frame System metal-glazed window with dow structural silicone sealant glazing. It describes 1/4-inch laminated annealed glass in three layers, or multipane glazing with at least one tempered layer. That captured wording does not restate the earlier section dimensions, two-sash arrangement or exposed-side distribution. It also does not establish that the later silicone designation means the earlier Type 795 product.

For a window specification, keep the source date beside the frame and glass description. Combining the older geometry with the later tempered-glass alternative would create a configuration these descriptions do not establish. Neither their differences nor their shared listing number proves that the assemblies are interchangeable.

The handbook directs readers to Riviera’s installation instructions and product data sheets. Request documents that identify the proposed assembly, then check the applicable GOVmotus entry against them. These retained descriptions provide a dated comparison; they do not establish today’s listing status or a separate product test protocol.
