Market Leadership
Exceptional Extruding & Finishing
- Each extrusion is treated with a proprietary process that reduces cooling lines (most visible in clear anodizing).
- Standard aluminum anodize is Class I compared to the half thick Class II.
- Standard aluminum paint is Kynar 70% compared to a 50% content or polyester and/or acrylic bases.
- Aluminum extrusions are produced within 30 miles of our factory.
- Standard fiberglass paint is mixed to closely match the stock anodized finishes (Clear & Dark Bronze.)
The Most Professional Dealers
- Demanding, yet rewarding dealer program that attracts the elite window specialists in each market.

Superb Rolling System
- "Archetype" A3 and A2 stainless rollers come with authentic Swiss bearings, assembled in California.
- Stainless track insert (not a cap)
- Insert creates ideal concave/convex relationship.

- Exposed hardware is electro polished #316 stainless.
- Hinged doors come standard with FSB levers and escutcheon plates.
Energy Compliance Answers
- Proprietary Snapshot software provides detailed NFRC energy reports on every quote.
- Team of engineers trained and certified to perform a thermal envelope analysis specific to the exact windows and doors on each quote. This reveals the true thermal performance characteristics of the window and door package.
- New designs and re-designs incorporate "strut" technology (Series 3070-T, Series 3300-T, Series 3600-T, Series 3900-T & Series 3200-T)
- Struts allow more attractive and sleeker shapes than poured in place thermal material.
- Struts allow for stronger extrusions without compromising thin lines. For example, the Series 3070-T High Performance Interlocker.
- The Series 3850-F fiberglass window emulates the design of the Series 3800-T aluminum system but provides improved U-factor results.
