residential window features

Homeowners are often surprised to find that our Georgetown series includes features commonly seen among higher-end home windows, but for a cost-effective price. Georgetown windows include:

  • ¾-inch sealed insulated glass
  • Cam-type lock and keeper for a weather-tight seal
  • Deluxe limit lock for added security
  • DuraTex™ warm-edge spacer system for decreased heat transfer
  • Integral lift rail and tilt-latch for ease of use
  • Large glass surfaces for maximum light and ventilation
  • Multi-chambered, hollow thermalized insulating system
  • Secure integral interlock for enhanced protection and weatherproofing
  • Sloped sill for easy water run-off
  • Weatherstripping for reduced air infiltration
  • Welded sash and frame corners for added strength and durability

Thanks in part to these features, Georgetown windows have achieved a remarkable R45 performance grade (three times higher than the R15 threshold grade for residential windows).

Window Anatomy

  • Welded sash and frame corners mean durability and dependability.

Glass

We use Cardinal Glass which is the same glass used by large manufacturers such as Andersen, Pella and Marvin.

Strength

Reinforced meeting rail (image with green composite material inside vinyl).

  • All our windows have reinforced meeting rails
  • Allows locks and keepers to be anchored into the sash where other vinyl window locks and keepers are screwed into the vinyl only

Interlocks at meeting rail

  • Reduces air infiltration, adds security, creates a tighter, better performing window overall
  • All 3 series of our windows have interlocks where many manufacturers offer on select models or don't offer at all

Bottom Sash interlock leg

  • Secondary interlock in the bottom sill of the window that allows the bottom sash to have a more secure fit
  • It helps reduce air and insect infiltration and increases security

Double Walled Mortised Sill Dam

  • Sill dam wall that helps prevent moisture or insects from coming in or what I'd call as last line of defense
  • The sill dam wall is integrated into the frame so there are no weak points or no gaps for air or insects to come through

Design Consistency

  • From top line to bottom line, our core strength designs (listed above) stay consistent.
  • We don't skimp on design but rather, keep it consistent so the homeowner is getting a premium product no matter which line they choose of ours.

Air Infiltration

We have some of the lowest air infiltration ratings in the industry

  • Potomac - 0.02 CFM
  • Fortis - 0.04 CFM
  • Georgetown - 0.05 CFM

For reference, most high performance windows are around 0.15 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute)

  • 0.30 CFM - industry standard that NFRC tests
  • 0.23 CFM - traditional wood double hung windows
  • 0.15 CFM - most high performance windows

Lifetime Warranty

  • We offer a full lifetime warranty through our dealers.
  • Don't make homeowners jump through hoops to renew or charge a fee for transferring.
