| Stainable real wood veneers for PVC profiles offer the richness of real wood interiors and low-maintenance benefits of a vinyl window. The vinyl profile surface is primed before the vinyl and laminate are heated to achieve a permanent bond when the two surfaces are applied together. A SprayTech system is used for the interior laminate process, before the wood laminate is precision trimmed to match the profile shape. Several species are available to complement wood interior doors and trim, including ponderosa pine, red oak, maple and cherry. Interior wood grain film wrapped laminates are also available for a different look and lower cost, in natural oak, Harvard oak and cherry. The film laminates can be used in any combination with the PVC colors. |

The SuperCapSR color system for window and door profiles provides darker exterior colors offering superior solar heat-reflective performance. The technology creates a molecularly fused color layer that becomes an integral part of the profile. The acrylic color layer is scratch-resistant and durable during delivery and installation, the company reports. Born from military infrared reflective technology, the colors absorb less heat to prevent heat-related profile distortion. The color option is available on both vinyl and MikronWood profiles.

Several new brochures are available to educate homeowners about the benefits of PPG products. A piece about Sungate 500 low-E glass explains how after 20 years the glass remains one of the industry’s most effective and energy-efficient window glasses by transmitting 76 percent of the sun’s natural light while blocking 30 percent of its solar heat energy. The product also enables windows to trap furnace heat 28 percent more effectively than windows made with ordinary glass. Solarban 60 solar control low-E glass, which has a clear appearance and a coating that blocks solar energy during the summer and traps furnace heat in the winter, is the focus of a second piece. The glass allows more than 70 percent of the sun’s natural light, while blocking more than 60 percent of its solar energy. Another new brochure details the insulating and energy-saving advantages of windows made with the company’s Intercept warm-edge spacer system. The brochure explains the effects of the metal spacer and its enhancement to the performance of the window sealant.
