The double-hung style of window began its long reign of popularity America during
George Washington's time. Our Clad Double-Hung is the latest stage in the
double-hung evolution incorporating 21st century technology, ultra-modern materials, and a
revolutionary design. With its weathertight wood construction and aluminum exterior
cladding, it offers our customer years of trouble-free performance without painting.
Even with all these changes, our Clad Double-Hung still has the same traditional
looks that were first popular in George Washington's time.
FEATURES
- Frame. All exposed parts are clear, no
finger-joint. The frame is clad on the exterior with maintenance-free aluminum which
has a baked-on finish in three colors: white, bronze, or beige. The unequalled
strength of the frame corners comes from the screw and screw bosses which hold the miter
at 90*. Staples in the wood members, and neoprene gaskets seal and insure a tight
fit.
- Sash. Sash members are extra heavy 1-1/2"
thick, clear, no finger-joint, and are covered with aluminum which has a baked-on finish.
Cladding is rolled over the end of each sash member and sealed with a neoprene
gasket for an attractive and tight-fitting corner.
- Sill. The sill is made of a super tough material
called Werzalit. Werzalit is a combination of wood fiber and resins molded under
high heat and pressure and will not rot, warp, crack, or split, and it's impervious to
insects.
- Glazing. Insulating glass is available in either
clear or High-Performance.
- Balance. The revolutionary Premium Tilt balance
has no equal for convenience, adjustability, and energy-saving performance.
- Finger Lifts. Finger lifts are built into the top
and bottom rails for easy sash operation.
- Sash Lock. A factory-installed, baked-on finish
sash lock holds the sash together and locks tightly.
