FRAME & SASH
Fiberglass profiles are made from 53% - 63% more glass fibers. The balance is polyester resin and performance additives. The glass fibers are made by spinning melted silica sand. The thermoset polyester resin is based on a petroleum derived alkide. The frame and sash are insulated with expanded polystyrene. Frame corners are assembled with foam filled glass reinforced nylon corner keys. . Standard frame depth is 3 ¼”. For door sidelites and transoms, as well as windows with mullions between large glass areas, use the optional 4 ½” frame.
BRICKMOLD
Extruded aluminum brickmolds are available with and without integral installation flanges.
FINISH
All exposed portions of the fiberglass profiles are painted. Standard finish is Grafted Coatings’ KTM-4. This water borne acrylic/urethane meets AAMA 613-96 and 615-96 (draft). All profiles are stocked in white. Custom colours are available. Also available is a real red oak and real maple veneer interior.
JAMB EXTENSIONS
Wood jamb extensions are available in many depths and species, including pre-primed, veneer wrapped strawboard and ‘river bottom’ pine.
GLASS
The insulating glass conforms to CAN/CSGB-12.8-M90. Minimum glass thickness is 3mm or 1/8” (double strength). Both double glazing (22mm or 7/8” overall thickness) and triple glazing (37mm or 1 7/16” overall thickness) are available. All glazing is dual sealed and made with Edgetech’s SuperSpacer ™. Glass thickness is determined by the National Building Code of Canada.
High performance glazing options include; SOLERA ™ ,’self-cleaning’ glass, spectrally selective daylighting glass, tinted glass, reflective glass, Heat Mirror ™, pyrolitic (hard coat) low emissivity glass and sputtered (soft coat) low emissivity glass, as well as standard safety glass options.
GLAZING
The glass is held in place by a removable interior fiberglass glass stop. Double sided foam tape on the exterior and thermoplastic rubber on the interior assist in securing the glass. The glazing cavity is face drained to the exterior through injection moulded caps. The glazing cavity is also face vented to the exterior through two 1/16” vent holes.
MUNTINS
Muntin options include Georgian grilles between glass and two types of simulated divided lites in both double and triple glazing.
