A – FRONTLINE STS INTERLOCK:
Successfully integrating moving to non-moving components of a window determines if it will stand the test of time. Our unique Frontline STS Interlock securely connects the bottom sash to the frame to ensure wind, moisture and intruders stay where they belong: outside.
B – FORTRESS MR INTERLOCK:
The center point of a window can be its most vulnerable element. Inadequate designs allow for air movement or worse, burglars, to easily penetrate the heart of the window. The Fortress MR Interlock joins the moving sashes together with deep interconnecting pockets that block the wind and prevent exterior access to the locking mechanism.
C – GATEKEEPER CAMLOCK:
While you’re away from your home, trust the security of the GateKeeper Camlock of the Ascent. A smooth and secure 180° activating camlock clasps the sashes together to break the spirit of any would be invader
D – ANTI-MICROBIAL TRIPLE WEATHER-STRIPPING:
Block your home from dust and allergens with the added protection of weather-stripping that prevents the growth of mold and mildew.
SURELIFT BALANCERS:
If your home currently has builder-grade vinyl, aluminum or wood windows, you already know the deficiencies of spiral or block and tackle balances. For a lifetime of smooth operation, trust the strength and longevity of stainless-steel constant force balances selected for the exact size and weight of your new windows.
DP 50 RATING:
Your home’s strength is determined by the quality of the materials you build it from. Thankfully, replacement windows have a measurement to determine that level of strength. Design Pressure (DP) is the amount of forced air or water a window can withstand before failing. The greater the capacity, the stronger the unit.
