Benefits
-
Dual Action operation: a single operating handle effortlessly unlocks the window and moves the sash into either a tilt or a turn mode.
-
Tilt open: sash opens inward at the top for natural ventilation, allowing overheated air high in the room to escape and fresh air to enter with minimal draft. A tilted sash can often be left open even when it's raining.
-
Turn open: swinging inward like a door, the fully open sash allows the maximum possible ventilation. The exterior surface can be easily and safely reached for washing, without the need to remove or support the sash.
-
Security: the window is positively locked for tamper resistance and for withstanding strong wind pressures by multiple locking points that surround the sash.
-
Fusion welded for strength: sash and frame corners are miter-cut and welded, eliminating caulking and joints that may loosen and leak.
-
Multi chambered walls: double-wall construction increases strength, permits thorough water drainage and increases energy efficiency.
-
Commercial rating: able to withstand heavy use, this window achieves a grade 70 rating (a rating often associated with resisting winds in excess of 130 mph) even when made in the industry-standard 4' x 6' commercial size.
-
Interior glazing: this glazing style presents a seamless sash to the outside elements and the effects of potential tampering.
-
Glass options: among the options are high-performance and decorative glass.
-
Longevity of vinyl: literally carefree, our windows resist corrosion from pollutants, never need painting and can be cleaned with soap and water. Both sash tilt inward for effortless cleaning of the outside glass.
