What makes Sashlite Technology performance a better choice?
Sashlite® vinyl replacement windows perform better because the design and manufacturing process eliminates the need for the typical Insulated Glass (IG) unit to be made separately and then glazed into the sash.
Instead, the vinyl sash profile of the window incorporates the Insulated Glass spacer, and the two panes of glass are glazed directly into both sides of the sash. The result is a window that offers enhanced structural and thermal performance. Our double-hung windows using Sashlite technology, along with low-E glass and argon, have a 0.28 U-factor, based on NFRC testing. That number is even lower, 0.268, when vinyl profiles are foam-filled.

One of the most energy efficient replacement window solutions made for todays energy efficient homes.
* Sashlite®, a revolutionary 7/8" insulated glass technology, provides the highest in warm edge ratings and structural integrity possible.
* Frame and sash corners are miter-cut and fusion-welded at 500° F for superior structural integrity that significantly exceeds the strength of ordinary mechanical window design.
* Both sashes tilt in easily for safe, fast cleaning from inside the home.
* Aluminum extruded half-locking screen with fiberglass screen wire provides a clean, snug fit.
* Constant force balance system for easy, smooth operation.
* Gold series double weather-stripping provides superior UV resistance and resists mold, mildew and fungus.
* Extruded lift and pull rails with no snap-in parts or components.
* Patented heavy-duty, cam-action lock, incorporated with aluminum reinforced interlocking sashes, provides an extra seal at meeting rail.
