The sliding sash is constructed of rigid PVC hollow
extrusion with a wall thickness ranging from .065 on the pull handle to .050
on the interior walls. The sash corners are attached together with anticorrosive stainless
steel screws to maintain a rigid and long lasting sash that slides easily within the frame
construction. 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
.050 on the interior walls. It provides an excellent thermal barrier against all
types of climate conditions. Our high tech, four head welding line provides an all welded
construction. This allows the product sizing accuracy, quality and it guarantees a
leakproof corner. Our unique heavy-duty dual wall exterior flange provides an
aesthetically appealing exterior installed appearance.
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. 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.
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. |
