With Walls Of Windows, The Glass
Matters!
All
dual sliding windows
come with our EZ Glide Quad
Roller system!
Available
exclusively by C-Thru, it carries double the number of rollers as our competitors, minimizing sash
racking and making for extra
smooth operating windows.
Our vinyl windows come with a
substantial 3 ¼” thick framing,
dual cam locks and a variety of
glass options to choose from. They come in three different
configurations...
-
Sliding
windows are available in 36”, 42”, 48”, 54”
wide with custom widths
available.
-
Fixed
windows are available in 24", 36”, 42”, 48”, 54”
wide with custom widths
available.
-
All standard windows
are either 54" or 60" high
-
All sliding windows
come with a fixed exterior screen
DURAlite Glass
Most
sunrooms are made with a lot of
glass, so it's important that
the glass itself is clear and
strong. Duralite has up to twice
the clarity of regular glass and
is strong enough to withstand
impacts without breaking or
scratching. Yes! It is
tempered glass!
Choose from
three different types of Duralite glass:
-
1/8” Single
Pane Clear Glass
-
1” Sealed Double Pane
Clear Glass
-
1” Sealed Double Pane

How to read the table...
U-Value
Radiant (non-solar)
heat transfer thru
the glass measured
in
BTU's/sq.ft./hours
x deltaT. The lower
the number the
better.
Shading
Coefficient An
index of solar heat
gain rejection. The
lower the number the
better.
|
Solar Heat Gain
Coefficient
Similar to shading
coefficient. The
lower the number the
better in terms of
solar heat gain
rejection.
Visible Light %
The amount of
visible light
allowed to transfer
through the pane of
glass.

The window is only as good as
its seal!
|
This one element
of your room,
the spacer
between panes of
glass, although
unseen, is one
of the most
important
elements in the
construction of
your windows and
doors. Duralite
spacers are the
most advanced
energy efficient
spacers in the
industry.
Commonly known
as 'warm edge
technology' it
acts as an
insulator
between the
outside
temperature and
the inside of
your room.
Duralite spacers
are made with
non-metallic
structural
elements that
insulate
incredibly well
and do not break
down over time.
SUPERIOR
THERMAL PERFORMANCE
The thermal performance of a
window plays a major role in
household energy conservation. A
high-performance window system
will keep your energy costs low
by reducing heat loss in the
winter and heat gain in the
summer. Duralite combined with
Low-E glass and air produces
one of the highest performing,
energy-efficient window systems,
saving you money on your heating
and cooling costs. Duralite is
an ENERGY STAR® qualified
product.

DURALITE®
SPACER DESIGN
Duralite is
a flexible, warm-edge spacer
featuring a unique no metal,
composite laminating technology
that provides superior
durability and thermal
performance in insulating glass
units. To achieve the ultimate
in performance – all in a
single-seal design Duralite is preassembled with an air-filled polycarbonate shim,
butyl sealant, a three-sided
continuous moisture barrier and
a
desiccated topcoat. The results
are better performance now, and
in the future.
REDUCE
CONDENSATION FOR A
CLEAR VIEW
When you see
condensation
inside a dual
pane window,
that means the
seal has failed.
Our exclusive
high performance
dual and triple
pane glass is
made using the
latest
technology in
insulated glass
seals. Poorly
insulated windows
allow moisture to
collect in the form
of condensation.
Condensation can
obstruct your
outside view, reduce
natural lighting and
damage interior
finishes. Moisture
and condensation can
also increase the
risk of mold.
Windows built with
Duralite warm-edge
spacers reduce
condensation,
keeping moisture off
your glass for a
clearer view to the
outside. |
