Companies A - G

Andersen Windows

A new hinged, inswing patio door is available with the company’s 200 Series window and patio door line. It features traditional French styling, glass fiber construction and energy efficiency. The complete system includes door panels, frame, hardware and lock mechanism.
High-Performance Low-E4 glass reduces water spotting up to 99 percent on the exterior glass, the company reports. The glass dries faster and stays clean longer when activated by sunlight. A clear protective film applied to the interior and exterior sides of the glass during manufacturing provides protection against shipping and installation hazards as well as construction site debris.
TruScene insect screens are virtually invisible, with more than 50 percent more clarity than conventional insect screens. Made with a micro-fine steel mesh that’s one-third the diameter of conventional screen wire, it allows fresh air and sunlight in while protecting from insects.
The 400 Series double-hung windows with StormWatch protection now feature a monolithic impact-resistant glass option and retractable interior sash brackets. When engaged, the brackets provide support at the check rail and sill locations.
All 400 Series windows and doors are now available with several new options and accessories, including more divided lite grille designs. The 400 Series Frenchwood inswing patio door is available with factory-applied hinges in 10 different finishes. Folding window hardware and half insect screens are also new to the series.
The 200 Series line of windows and patio doors has been expanded with more sizes, options and accessories. Fifty-four new tilt-wash double-hung and picture window sizes are available, as are TruScene insect screens, protective film for added protection throughout shipping and construction, divided lite grilles, folding window hardware and half insect screens.

Atrium Cos. Inc.

The series 700 casement windows can be hinged on the right or left with the sash opening outward for full ventilation and easy cleaning from the inside. They are available in all standard sizes on single-vent units in up to 3-foot widths. There is an integrated nail fin, pre-punched to the target proper nail location for quick, easy installation. It is also available in a true replacement model.
The updated SafeHarbor line of hurricane-resistant products features vinyl windows in single- and double-hung models, as well as new vinyl casements, awnings, sliders and special shape units. The company also offers a complete line of aluminum impact products and hurricane shutters in Bahama, rolling and according styles.

Azek

To complement its line of trimboards, Azek mouldings are now offered in 15 profiles replicating traditional moulding standards. Featuring the same distinctive white matte finish, the line offers excellent paint adhesion, although the mouldings do not require paint.

CMI

With demand growing for tall doors to match high ceilings in today’s homes, the CraftMaster Corvado two-panel, square-top plank interior door is now available in 8 foot heights. A distinctive groove and modified sticking profile offers the rich feel of a traditional plank door, but with added detail.
To add definition and custom detail to interior doors, the Cellini Series combines a special, three-dimensional molding that can be perfectly mated with select CraftMaster raised-panel, 8-foot designs and affixed to the door face by the distributor or door hanger. Providing added detail, the series is available in the modern, two-panel, square-top Carrara design and the two-panel, true arch top Caiman design.
MiraTec-treated exterior composite offers moisture, rot and termite resistance and serves as a functional, economical alternative to PVC, fiber cement, wood and OSB in window and door trim, and a variety of other applications. Featuring a clear, wood grain texture on one side and a contemporary, smooth finish on the other, the material handles like wood, and is easy to machine, rout, cut and nail.

Design House

A line of door hardware includes 17 new products in 3 different finishes—oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel and polished brass. The finishes are part of the company’s TruMatch program, which offers identical color matches across all its home décor products. The door hardware line includes hinges, levers and knobs, and closet and pocket door solutions.

Dupont

Tyvek weatherization systems includes products such as HomeWrap, flashing systems and new weatherization sealant, which helps protect homes from air and moisture infiltration. Common sealant uses are window and door installation, and weather sealing and caulking. It is available in all-climate and dry-climate formulations.

GlasWeld

The Gforce scratch removal system uses a one-step process to remove glass damage quickly and effectively. A backer pad and polishing disc attached to a polishing machine are used to work a compound into the scratch, resulting in distortion free results, the company reports.

Gorell Windows & Doors

Armor Max Plus vinyl windows protect homeowners and their homes from airborne debris during hurricane-strength storms and other forms of violent weather. A double-hung with tilt-in sash, two- and three-lite lift-out sliders and a picture window can be installed anywhere, right up to the coastline, and are offered with two-week delivery. Windows also feature solar control low-E glass and argon for thermal performance.
Grand Additions’ Presidential and U.S. sunroom series now feature the Tuff-Kote Gold foam roof system that provides homeowners with improved thermal performance with a choice of 3- or 4-inch foam panels. The snap-lock roof system also provides a more aesthetically pleasing appearance with no screws or I-beams visible from the interior of the room. An optional drip-edge fascia allows homeowners to incorporate a standard gutter to match the look of their homes.

Guardian Industries Corp.

ClimaGuard 55/27 innovative low-E glass for residential windows offers enhanced solar control, as well as a nonreflective, neutral appearance for superior aesthetic qualities. In addition to energy efficiency, it is said to provide improved interior light quality as it provides homeowners a full sense of natural light without glare.
ClimaGuard SPF glass blocks 99.9 percent of ultraviolet radiation without any visible change in daylighting, protecting valuable interior furnishings from fading. It also offers superior energy savings and looks the way window glass should look, with no bright colors, no dark tints and no shiny reflections.
