Weather-Stripping
The three seal design conforms to the rain screen principle.
- Wool pile and bulb seal weather stripping on sash
- Wool pile weather stripping on frame
Glazing
Float Glass
Type: Dual insulated Low-E coated with Argon
Type: Dual insulated Low-E coated with Argon
Glazing Method
The glass is held in place by a removable Interior glass stop. Double-sided closed cell foam tape on the frame. The glazing cavity is edge drained to the exterior with concealed drainage holes. The glazing cavity is also edge vented to the exterior through concealed vent holes. The glass stop provides rain screen principal to keep water out.

* SHGC – Solar Heat Gain Coefficient
Shading Coefficient = SHGC / 0.87
*LSG – Light to Solar Heat Gain Ratio
Performance values are based on 3 mm Glass COG
Fiberglass Structural Integrity
High Dimensional Stability
Fiberglass expansion rate is nearly identical to the rate of glass. This low thermal expansion rate translates into virtually zero seal failure. Which makes the entire window system and weather stripping more airtight. Internal stresses are reduced because all the components are expanding and contracting at about the same rate.
Material Expansion Rates
Expansion of various framing materials compared with glass
