Believed to be the first
(and only) vinyl window design ever to earn a performance rating in the highest
classification defined in the window industry.
The vinyl casement
is unsurpassed. It is easy to operate, strong, energy efficient, quiet and durable.
The sash features a contoured shape similar to fine millwork fabrication and has
elegant, narrow sightlines. Casement System 1400 is appropriate for any building
application—residential, commercial, or anything else. The Series 1400 is designed
to maximize energy saving features as well. Triple gaskets and dual chambers, along
with double glazed glass units, ensure that your home stays cozy in winter and
cool in summer. Trouble-free performance is guaranteed with the sturdy single arm
rotary operator, no matter how many times you open and close your window. All of
the hardware is rust-proof, too.
Benefits
*
Ease of operation: a single handle
unlocks the multiple locking points, another crank lets the sash glide open. The
hinge design allows you to conveniently reach the exterior of the glass for washing
when the window is open.
*Security: multiple locking points
surrounding the sash means that the window is secure for tamper resistance and withstanding
strong wind pressures.
* Fusion welded for strength: sash and frame corners are miter-cut and welded, eliminating
caulking and joints that may loosen and leak.
* Triple seal design: the sash is designed to seal against the frame with three
continuous seals and a dual cavity, pressure-equalized configuration.
* Multichambered walls: double-wall construction increases strength, permits thorough
water drainage and increases energy efficiency.
* Architectural 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 large 3' x 5' "architectural" size. The rating signifies that
the windows passed a battery of 2,500 cycles of opening, closing and locking, "misuse"
torsion and loading, and subsequent retesting to prove continued air and water infiltration
resistance.
* Interior glazing: this glazing style presents a seamless sash to the outside elements
and the effects of potential tampering.
* Well-proportioned sightlines:
* 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.
