We
offer a superbly engineered vinyl window and door series that will
enhance your home. Our beveled design displays sleek lines
that compliment any decor, and the slim profile offers greater glass
area, allowing more light and spectacular views. But the
differences are more than cosmetic. Our design employs a
multi-chambered frame, one of the heaviest in the industry, to
ensure the greatest strength and maximum efficiency of each
window. We use only pure, lead-free extrusions
with a special vinyl formula that protects against ultraviolet
rays. Experience the exciting new look in vinyl windows.

FEATURES
Frame and Sash
The frame and sash on all our vinyl windows are produced from pure,
lead-free high quality vinyl extrusions. All frame and sash corners are fusion welded, providing greater structural strength and better air infiltration and water penetration values. Our multi-chambered frame design, with an overall depth o f 3 1/4” is one of the heaviest in the industry, enhancing thermal performance, adding to the overall strength of the frame, and reducing sound transmission. It is offered with or without nailing fin, allowing for easy and seamless retrofit installations. A special vinyl formula provides protection from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Larger sizes are steel reinforced for long-term, trouble-free operation and all sizes have a double walled interior glazing stop. A custom designed venting system allows proper drainage and water management, while drain caps keep insects out and reduces air infiltration. Windows are available in tan or white colors.
Glazing
All glass is premium float fabricated into genuine sealed insulated units, with an overall unit thickness of 13/16” using a 5/8” air space. Glazing is mounted in the frame using 1/8” closed cell glazing tape. Interior applied glazing stops on our windows make glass replacement easier and provide better security. The glazing system used is warm edge technology, increasing thermal efficiency and unit integrity while decreasing environmental stresses. An argon gas filling option is available to maximize energy value. We also offer as standard Cardinal LoE2 glass, the finest Low E glass in the industry today.
Weather
Stripping
Our vinyl casement and single hung windows employ a triple fin seal weather stripping system on the frame and sash, creating a tight compression seal that provides positive protection against the elements and air infiltration. Our vinyl slider uses the same system but with a double fin seal. Interlocking mullions ensure a secure, tight meeting rail.
Hardware
We use hardware designed by Truth, the leader in window operating devices. An internal cam lock system insures a tight seal when the windows are locked, and the cam-action latch design provides enhanced security with a forced entry resistance of 200 lbs. All hardware is factory installed and comes in a white or tan finish. Brass rollers deliver smooth, easy operation and the single hung operating sash tilts inward for easy cleaning.
Screens
Windows have screens of rigid aluminum roll-form surround with exterior nylon corner keys in a white or tan finish. Screen material is a no glare, charcoal fiberglass mesh. Between-the-glass aluminum grilles are available in colonial or Queen Anne patterns. Muntin bars are 5/8” in width and come in white, tan or brass finishes.
