Silver Line Windows There are many reasons why so many professionals demand Silver Line windows. They are affordable, durable, energy efficient, aesthetically appealing and require little maintenance. Vinyl is a great insulator, superior in its resistance to heat transfer. Dual weather-stripping, standard on many of our windows, creates a tight seal, maintaining the efficiency of the window, effectively eliminating drafts.
Their many glazing options enable them to produce a window that will provide year round comfort and energy savings. Dual pane insulated glass is created by sealing two single panes to a spacer, establishing an insulating chamber. It is nearly twice as efficient as a single pane of glass at reducing heat loss. our optional LoE2 (low emissivity) glass features a transparent metallic coating which filters out solar radiation, thereby reducing heat gain in summer, and heat loss in winter, for maximum comfort and energy efficiency. Two organizations, the American Architectural manufacturing Association (AAMA) and the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC,) test the performance and quality of windows. The NFRC, comprised of manufacturers, builders, architects and designers, cod officials, utilities and government agencies, rates windows, doors and skylights for the following:
U-factor: How well a window keeps heat inside of a home r building. The lower the U-factor, the greater the insulating value.
Solar heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): Measures how well a window blocks heat caused by sunlight. The lower a window’s SHGC, the less solar heat it transmits.
Visible Transmittance (VT): Determines how much light passes through a product. The higher the VT, the more light that is transmitted.
AAMA has become widely recognized for developing voluntary standards to test and validate the performance and quality of windows, doors and skylights. The current AAMA/NWWDA 101/I.S.2 specification establishes stringent standards for the testing of windows in the following categories:
Design Pressure (DP): Resistance to wind and other dynamic pressures. The higher the DP rating of a window or door, the more resistant it will be to the effects of wind and other pressures.
Air Infiltration: Air Infiltration is the amount of air leaking through a window or door. The lower the air infiltration rating, the better. To pass, a window cannot exceed 0.3 CFM/Sq Ft of air infiltration rating with a 25 mph wind.
Water Resistance: The ability of a window to withstand leakage from a wind driven rain. Windows are rated on a pass/ fail basis.
Forced Entry Resistance: A skilled/ trained lab technician attempts to gain entry with common tools. A window must pass the forced entry with common tools. A window must pass the forced entry resistance test to be certified to the AAMA/NWWDA 101/I.S.2 specification.
