FEATURES

• We build our vinyl windows with a high number of internal air chambers for superior insulation, thermal efficiency, sturdiness and sound abatement.

•  

• Maintenance-free PVC jamb extensions, corner blocks and frame moldings provide added flexibility for interior finishing.

•  

• Fusion-welded corners enhance the appearance of the window while eliminating the need for sealants and adhesives. The flawless surface is entirely airtight and watertight.

•  

• We also weld internal walls to boost the structural integrity of our vinyl windows.

•  

• Our sealed glass units have an overall thickness of 13/16”. Most of our window styles allow you to choose between different glazing types and thicknesses. These include single, double, triple and Low-E glazing, as well as a decorative glazing that ranges from 3/4” to 1-1/8”.

GLASS

Our Low-E glass from Cardinal CG is specially engineered to minimize solar heat gain, lower home energy costs, transmit more natural light and provide year-round comfort.

Available with a Low-E glass coating for optimal performance, our triple-pane windows provide market-leading energy efficiency with high levels of visible light transmittance.

Low-E Glass

Low emissivity glass, or Low-E glass, is a strategic choice for lowering your home energy costs all-year-round. In winter, Low-E glass cuts down on heat loss by reducing radiant heat transfer and reflecting interior heat back into your room, where it needs to be. It also efficiently dispenses the sun’s rays—allowing more of them to enter the home as usable solar energy. This provides extra warmth while minimizing reliance on heating, which can account for up to 60% of a home’s energy costs.

In summer the same principle applies but the effect is reversed. Low-E glass windows help reduce the flow of hot air into the cool interior. This specially formulated coating also reduces the effects of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, which are a leading cause of premature fading and degradation of fabrics and carpeting.

We are proud to use Cardinal CG glass for all of our Low-E glass windows. These products combine outstanding thermal performance with high levels of visible light transmission, for windows that deliver value and comfort.
