Product Overview:

Engineered specifically for the North American residential market, this 82 mm deep vinyl hung window series delivers laboratory‑verified performance, authentic operation, and timeless aesthetics. Available in single hung, double hung, single sliding, double sliding, fixed, and splicing configurations, the system is fully tested and certified to NFRC 100/200/500 thermal standards and CSA A440 / NAFS‑17 structural, air, water, and forced entry requirements. Precision coil spring balances provide smooth, effort‑less sash operation, while integral tilt latches allow easy interior cleaning. With U‑factors as low as 0.28 Btu/hr·ft²·°F and Condensation Resistance up to 59, this series offers builders, architects, and homeowners a code‑compliant, energy‑efficient, and maintenance‑friendly window solution.

Key Features & Technology:

1. Multi‑Configuration Flexibility – One System, Endless Applications
The same 82 mm extruded PVC profile accommodates a full range of venting and fixed styles:

• Single Hung – lower sash operable, upper sash fixed

• Double Hung – both sashes operable

• Single Sliding / Double Sliding – horizontal sliding configurations

• Fixed Picture Windows – maximized daylight

• Splicing (Mulling) – vertical or horizontal combinations for large openings
  All configurations share common extrusions, glazing stops, hardware platforms, and accessory components – simplifying fabrication, inventory, and field service.

2. Certified North American Performance – NFRC & CSA/NAFS‑17
This window series has undergone rigorous independent testing and is:

• NFRC Certified – whole‑window U‑factor, SHGC, and VT verified per NFRC 100/200/500 (Intertek Report S3856.01 & S3853.01)

• CSA A440 / NAFS‑17 Certified – tested to AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440‑17 and CSA A440S1‑19

• Primary Designator: Class LC – PG25

• Tested Size: 1100 mm × 1900 mm

• Positive/Negative Design Pressure: ±1200 Pa

• Water Penetration Resistance: 220 Pa (single hung), 220 Pa (double hung)

• Canadian Air Leakage: A3 (single hung), A2 (double hung)

• Forced Entry Resistance: Pass (ASTM F842)

• Operating Force: Initiate ≤ 170 N, Maintain ≤ 143 N (ASTM E2068)

3. Advanced Thermal Performance – Low U‑Factor, High Condensation Resistance
Computer simulation per NFRC 100 documents exceptional thermal efficiency across multiple glazing options:

• U‑Factor as low as 0.28 Btu/hr·ft²·°F (triple glazing, dual low‑e, argon fill)

• Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): 0.36 – 0.61 (selectable per climate zone)

• Visible Transmittance (VT): 0.52 – 0.64

• Condensation Resistance (CR): up to 59 (double hung), 59 (single hung)

• Glazing options:

  • Double glazing: 3 mm / 5 mm glass, 18–22 mm air/argon fill, low‑e coatings

  • Triple glazing: 3 mm / 5 mm glass, dual low‑e, argon fill, warm edge spacers
    All IGUs are factory‑sealed and IGCC‑compliant.

4. Smooth, Reliable Operation – Coil Spring Balance System
Precision‑engineered coil spring balances (8 springs for single hung, 16 for double hung) provide consistent counterbalance force throughout the sash travel.

• Measured operating force:

  • Initiate motion: ≤ 170 N

  • Maintain motion: ≤ 143 N

• Exceeds NAFS‑17 requirements for normal use

• Tilt latches allow sashes to pivot inward for safe, easy cleaning from inside the home – no exterior ladders required.

5. Durable PVC Construction – Built for North American Climates
High‑impact UV‑stabilized PVC (vinyl) profiles resist fading, chalking, warping, and corrosion. Multi‑chambered internal geometry enhances thermal performance and structural rigidity. All corners are fusion‑welded, providing superior strength and permanent airtightness.

• Frame depth: 82 mm

• Sash depth: 37.5 mm

• Colour options: White (standard), custom colours available

6. Comprehensive Hardware & Sealing

• Sash locks: Crescent locks, buckle locks, slide locks – multiple aesthetic options

• Balancers: Coil spring with spring keeper, balance shoe, pivot bar

• Tilt latches: Left and right, smooth engagement

• Drainage: Covered weep system, 25.4 mm × 5 mm interior/exterior drains

• Weatherseals: Pile brush seals (between sash and frame) – low friction, superior air sealing

• Screen: Optional hung screen sash, interior‑mount available

7. Glazing & Spacer Technology

• Glass: 5 mm Low‑E tempered insulating glass (standard tested)

• Spacer: Warm edge Technoform® SP12/SP13/SP14 or equivalent

• Sealant: PIB/S2 dual seal

• Glazing bead: 7 mm snap‑on or screw‑applied beads
