PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
MATERIALS
The extruded vinyl profiles comply with the performance
requirements of AAMA 303-97. The colors extend through the profile
of the extrusion with White, Almond and Desert Sand colors
available. The product is not available in the Western United States
markets.
FRAME
All frames and sash are assembled using fusion-welding technology
for added strength and durability. The frame jamb width is 2-29/32”
(74 mm), and the nominal extrusion exterior wall thickness is 0.060”.
The wall depth of the single-hung product is 1-19/32”. The frame
incorporates an integral nailing fin which can be easily removed to
allow the unit to be used in a replacement window application. The
replacement product option includes a head expander and a sloped
sill adapter which can be modified to accommodate various slope sills.
Weep holes are included on the frame to ensure standing water is
directed to the exterior plane of the unit. An interior and exterior
accessory groove is standard to accommodate various frame
accessory and assembly options on the product.
SASH
The tilt sash is a 1-3/8” (35mm) nominal thickness, and is assembled
using fusion-welding technology for added strength and durability.
The sash also uses a steel reinforcement bar in the horizontal meeting
rails for additional strength. The fixed upper glass is direct-set into
the unit frame.
GLAZING
3/4” (19mm) insulated glass consist of two lites of glass sealed around
a spacer. The glass is mounted into the sash using a silicone-glazing
compound. The insulating glass units comply with the performance
requirements of the IGCC in accordance with either ASTM E774 or
E2190. All units except the brickmould product are exterior glazed.
GLAZING OPT IONS
3/4” (19mm) insulated glass is available in clear, Low-E or Low-E 366,
tinted, obscure or other specialty insulating glass as specified. Many
glass options are available in tempered glazing. A single use
reglazeable drywall unit option is available, allowing the user to
remove the upper glass and meeting rail.
WEATHER-STRIPPING
A fin-pile weather-strip is applied along dual perimeter of the
operating sash. The meeting rails utilize an integral e xtruded
interlock to provide exceptional performance.
HARDWARE
The exclusive WEN-Lockt with v isible latch indicator or a single
action cam style lock is available on all windows. Block and tackle
balance systems are utilized to support the vertical operation of the
sash. Low profile thumb latches (sash retainers) and pivot pins are
equipped for utilization of the ”tilt” function.
INSECT SCREENS
The optional fiberglass charcoal color insect screen is set in an
aluminum frame to match the color of the unit. The screen is secured
to the window using a pin and spring-loaded plunger system. Insect
screens are intended to allow air and light in and to keep insects out.
They are not intended to keep anyone or anything from falling
through an open door or window. For safety screens or other security
devices contact your local building supply retailer.
GRILLES
GBG (Grilles between the Glass) - 5/8” (16mm) and 7/8” (22.2mm) flat
or 1” (26mm) contour grilles mounted between the glass panes
suspended within the air cavity and color matched to the extrusion
color.
