The sliding sash is constructed of rigid PVC hollow
extrusion with a wall thickness ranging from .075 on the pull handle to .050
on the interior walls. The sash is welded on all four corners to insure a rigid and
accurate sash that matches perfectly with the frame construction. Anti-corrosive, dual
brass roller assemblies allow finger tip control for opening and closing the sash and
provides years of troublefree performance. Integral interlocking webbing on the sash and
meeting rail insure a positive interlock in the center of the window further enhancing
security and thermal performance.
The main frame is constructed of rigid PVC hollow
extrusion with a wall thickness ranging from .060 on the exterior walls to
.045 on the interior walls. It provides an excellent thermal barrier against all
types of climate conditions. The Precise Forms Majestic Window has been tested at a Grade
HS-R25 with an air infiltration rating of ASTM E283 and a water resistance of ASTM E547.
The Majestic Window has been tested in compliance with NFRC 100, 200, and 500 criteria.
Our high tech, four head welding line provides an all welded construction. This allows
accurate product sizing, quality, and it guarantees a leakproof corner. Our unique
heavy-duty dual wall exterior flange provides an aesthetically appealing exterior
installed appearance. The Precise Forms Double Glazed Majestic Slider Window performs to a
.49 U factor as tested by NFRC. Low E glass with argon fill is available which has a U
factor of .32 as tested by NFRC.
Constructed of rigid PVC extrusion with a wall thickness
of .060, the sill riser provides the basis for our aesthetically pleasing, equal
light, glass panel design between the fixed and the sliding sash. The design utilizes a
solid, snap fit leg construction to avoid shipping damage or loss. This design also allows
for unobstructed drainage clearance under the sash panel.
The fixed meeting rail is constructed of rigid PVC hollow
extrusion with a wall thickness ranging from .060 on the exterior walls and
.050 on the interior walls. It is then reinforced with a mullion stiffener which
provides a very rigid center post that does not twist or deflect with larger size window
openings. The rail is attached to the main frame with four 2-1/2 long anticorrosive
stainless steel screws. It also contains an integral channel with a built in catch slot
which receives the lock sweep mechanism enhancing security and thermal protection.
An insulated glass package designed with a 3/4
overall thickness, utilizing the INTERCEPT spacer system, provides the ultimate in
Warm Edge spacer technology. The glass assembly is built in our own high-tech
window manufacturing facility on the INTERCEPT Roll Forming System from GED. We are
pleased to provide our customers with the highest quality glazing on the market today. The
main frame and sliding sash are glazed with a continuous bead of high quality silicone
adhesive, which is applied by robots for accuracy and consistency.
To provide a thermal barrier against all climate
conditions, the movable sash and the meeting rail are equipped with strips of fin seal
weather stripping. The top and bottom sash rails and the interlocking edge of the meeting
rail utilize a .200 high pile inserted on each style member. Virtually all potential
draft points have been eliminated.
Precise Forms uses the Intercept Spacer System on all of
its insulating glass units. This allows an optional grid system that prevents grid
shifting or grids that dont match up from one window to the next. As part of
Intercepts exclusive manufacturing process, grids are made consistently to match
precisely, and theyre uniquely locked in place. Plus, Intercept spacers are
specially recessed below the sightline. All youll ever see are beautiful windows,
for years and years. |
