The glass in our windows is only part of the story.
Why do windows leak air???
|
| What Makes ELEMENTS Windows a Terrific Value? |

 |
Comfort Foam™
We significantly increase the U-value by filling the extrusions with Comfort Foam. The expanding polyurethane insulation foam fills critical spaces in the extrusions and greatly improves the overall thermal effectiveness. |
Dura-Sill™ is the most unique window sill design in the industry, and is accountable for why its air, water, and structure ratings are so exceptional. It combines innovations such as:
|
| |
•Soft-Seal™: Q-Lon® Neoprene compression sash gasket and rail uniquely wrap over a
ledge to provide an additional barrier to air and water penetration. |
| |
•Structural interlock in the bottom sash. |
| |
•Tight mortice-cut, double-walled sill dam penetrates inside the jamb. This eliminates
sealant application errors and air leaks as with lesser glued and butt-jointed single-walled
sill designs. |
 Super Spacer® sealed metal-free Health Smart® insulated glass units.
Ultra-Smart® triple-fin weather-stripping with
Ultra-Fresh® Biocide. Six weather-strips
equaling 600" of weather-stripping in an
36" X 48" window.
Super Spacer® sealed metal-free Health Smart® insulated K-Beam™ Thermal Reinforcement with Kevlar®:
Five times stronger than steel, more than 700 times warmer than aluminum, and holds screws unlike fiberglass.

times warmer than aluminum, and holds screws
unlike fiberglass. Patent pending Soft-Lite®
exclusive.
 Endura-Force™ Balance System:Teflon®-coated ¾" stainless steel that never needs
lubrication or adjustment. Other systems use strings, pulleys, and wire springs in large metal
housings that create a thermal short circuit in the window.
