A Complete Product Line – The full line of windows and doors includes single hung windows, horizontal roller windows, casement/projected windows, picture and architectural windows, sliding glass and French doors. Design options include colonial and Brittany styles with optional muntins.
Frames – Choose from vinyl or heavy duty extruded aluminum painted with an electrostatic paint for a low maintenance finish. A minimum frame depth of 2 ¾ inches on windows and 5 1/8 inches on sliding glass doors, with a minimal nominal wall thickness of .062 aids the system in withstanding strong winds. Molded nylon anti-friction sash guides assure a smooth operation.
Glazing – All windows and doors are exterior glazed with silicone for greater strength and seal. Additionally, the windows and sliding glass doors have a structural extruded aluminum glazing bead for stronger resistance to high wind loads. Insulated windows and doors are available in impact and non-impact lines.
Weather-stripping – Fully weather stripped with fin seal polyester pile and/or vinyl bulb prevents water intrusion.
Glass Tints – Many options for tint include gray, green, bronze, obscure (textured glass for enhanced privacy), low-E, and white interlayer (opaque interlay for enhanced privacy).
