Product Focus: Windows
Marvin Square Sticking Option
Marvin Windows and Doors
Marvin has devised a new option for its window sticking–the interior edge detail where glass meets wood. A new interior profile option offers a squared-off transition that creates clean sightlines and an open viewing frame for contemporary projects with large expanses of glass or designs with Arts and Crafts–style ornamentation. The option is also available on simulated divided lite bars.
Genius Window System
Deceuninck
Genius is the industry's first interlinked dual-sash window that enables thermal performance values to exceed R-14 without the use of exotic films or gases. An additional bonus airspace between the two sash members results in an effective thermal barrier. In addition, a unique thermal-activated ventilation system automatically brings solar-heated air into a building's interior in winter and draws it outside in summer.
AA 3350 IsoPort Window Series
Kawneer
Kawneer's updated AA 3350 IsoPort window now meets the demands of projects thatrequire a 70 PSF design pressure for windows of particular sizes. Available in single-hung, double-hung, horizontal sliding, and fixed configurations, the window frame accepts a wider range of extrusions and accommodates a broader spectrum of renovation applications.
ADA-Compliant Window Hardware
Wausau
Most of Wausau's INvent Series window family and 4250-Z zero-sightline awning and casement insert vents now feature more accessible hardware options. These projected windows operate with one hand and require an operating force of 5 pounds or less to unlock, open, close, and lock without requiring a tight grip or twisting of the wrist. The designs can meet the operating-force and limited-motion requirements of ICC/ANSI A117.1.
Signature Series
Weather Shield
The Signature Series of aluminum-clad wooden windows and patio doors is a midpriced collection including casement, awning, picture, double-hung, and other options. The double-hungs are among only a few in the industry to achieve a Class 3 AAMA rating. This is achieved via the company's Symmetry Balance System, which ensures superior air and water performance and easy operation.
SuperSecure II-XLS
Safti First
SuperSecure II-XLS is a fire-resistive security glazing product for openings in correctional facilities and other areas requiring security glazing. This clear, wire-free product provides the full range of 45 to 120 minutes of temperature-rise protection along with forced-entry security in dramatically larger sizes than wired-glass options. It has achieved a Class A-1 rating per California Department of Corrections 860-09a testing requirements.
