A Blend of Modern Efficiencies

Definity™Vinyl TechnologyThe heart of the UltraMaxx platform is Definity vinyl. This advanced vinylcompound is rugged, durable and virtually maintenance-free. The material’slow thermal conductivity makes it theperfect choice for window manufacturing.

EliteWeld ™Fusion WeldingEvery corner of the UltraMaxx Windowfeatures EliteWeld fusion welding, a technologically-advanced method of construction that delivers superiorstrength. The EliteWeld method

produces full-contact weldingpoints and doesnot requirebelow-the-faceflash clean up.

Intercept ®Spacer SystemThe Intercept Spacer System features aunique, one-piece U-channel design thatcreates an effective thermal barrier to helpreduce conducted heat loss through thewindow. Its sealed, one-piece design makesIntercept spacers stronger and better atretaining insulating gas than many conventional designs. Intercept spacersare so energy-efficient that they keep theedges of the window glass warmer, so yourhome feels more comfortable in the winter.

WeatherEdge™Full-Capture SillOur double-hung windows feature aWeatherEdge full-capture sill. This classic sill design lends a subtle touch of traditional charm while channelingwater to the exterior – keeping yourwindows free from accumulation ofwater and debris.

UltraMaxx Double-Hung, Sliding, and Casement Windows feature a mainframedesign that helps the UltraMaxx Windowaccommodate various installation methods and architectural styles.

Constant ForceBalance SystemOur double-hung window units feature the stainless steel ConstantForce balance system. This system ensures smooth and easy sash openingand closing, and has been rigorously tested for decades of operation. So rigorous in fact, that this balance systemhas been tested to nearly 6,000 cycles(one cycle is the equivalent of openingand closing the sash), far exceeding theindustry standard of 4,000 cycles.

Triton™Locking SystemAll UltraMaxx Double-Hung and SlidingWindows feature the Triton Locking

System. Locatedat the meeting rails,this heavy-dutycam lock andkeeper fit tightlytogether when

fully engaged for added security. TheTriton Locking System also forces theinterlock at the meeting rails of bothsashes to close tightly which helps toprevent air infiltration. Double locks arestandard on all windows 25" or wider.

SteelForce™ReinforcementThe SteelForce steel reinforcement isinstalled in every UltraMaxx Double-Hungand Sliding Window. This heavy-dutysteel extrusion is placed within the sashes

at the meetingrails to ensureextra protectionat this very critical and oftenused location.

CommandPlus™HardwareOur casement and awning windows feature CommandPlus operating hard-ware. This heavy-duty hardware providesmaximum strength for lifelong ease ofoperation, along with a corrosion-prooffinish that is guaranteed for life.

GGo GreenExceptionally energy-smart and weathertight, Alside Windows not only reduce fuel consumption needed to heat and cool homes, they also boast a long service life and achieve optimal material use and minimalwaste in production. Virtually all in-plant vinyl scrap is recycled intoother useful products, further reducing the environmental impact ofwaste. Vinyl windows also are eco-friendly because vinyl resin is derivedlargely from common salt – a sustainable and abundant natural resource!

Enjoy greater comfortand lower energy bills.No matter where you live, it costs moneyto stay comfortable. In the summer, youpay to keep heat out of your home; inthe winter, you pay to keep it in. That’swhen ordinary windows become a costlyproblem. They do little to stop the gain – or loss – of heat. That’s why UltraMaxxFusion-Welded Vinyl Windows are sucha great investment. They incorporatemore than a dozen advanced design features that effectively block the flow of heat, saving you money and keepingyou comfortable, season after season.

UltraMaxx’s outstandingperformance starts withinnovatively engineered components that provide the basis for superior energy savings.The multi-chamber design of theUltraMaxx Window helps trap dead air to produce an effective insulating barrier,while fusion-welded frame and sashesprovide superior structural strength andcreate a permanent barrier against air and moisture infiltration.

A special multi-layer weatherstrippingand a superior sash interlock systemoffer additional barriers to air infiltration,adding up to greater energy savings –and lower utility bills.

UltraMaxx’s Intercept® Warm-EdgeSpacer System with high-efficiency insulated glass creates an effective barrier that helps to prevent heat loss during winter and heat gain during the hot summer months.

Another critical NFRC test is for SolarHeat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). This procedure measures how well a productblocks heat caused by sunlight. Again,the lower the number, the less solar heatthe window transmits into the home.The above chart clearly shows how the performance of UltraMaxx Windows canbe enhanced with the addition of variousClimaTech insulated glass packages.

ClimaTech. . . your solution for increased window performance.

Our optional ClimaTech insulated glass package combines multi-layeredlow-emissivity (Low-E) glass, argon gas**and the PPG Intercept Warm-EdgeSpacer System. ClimaTech is up to 40%more energy-efficient than single or clearinsulated glass systems.

UltraMaxx Windows with ClimaTechexceed the performance requirements setforth by the U.S. Department of Energyin conjunction with the NationalFenestration Rating Council (NFRC)test criteria.

One of the most critical NFRC testsmeasures the rate of heat loss through awindow or door (U-Factor). The lowerthe U-Factor, the better the product is atresisting heat flow, which results in aproduct with a greater insulating value.

Low-E glass filters long-wave radiationfrom the sun. This reduces solar heatgain from the summer sun, helping tokeep your home cooler.

Low-E glass takes on a new duty inwinter months. It lets warm solar raysinto your home, while preventing indoorheat from escaping.

Performance Options

Make your home an energy miser. It’s easy!For maximum energy savings, upgradeyour UltraMaxx Windows with aClimaTech insulating glass package, featuring Low-E glass, argon gas and thePPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System.The superior thermal performance ofthis insulating glass unit can help loweryour energy costs while further reducingthe consumption of fossil fuels. ManyClimaTech insulating glass packages meetthe latest ENERGY STAR® requirements.

What makes the ClimaTech insulated glasspackage so effective? Since 80% of a window is glass, substantial heating and cooling savingscome from improved glass performance.

• Our combination of UV-filtering Low-E glass, argon gas and the Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer Systemdramatically enhances energy efficiency.Together they can cut the damagingeffects of the sun, which can lead tothe fading of carpets, curtains and furniture, by an additional 72% overclear insulated glass units.

• In winter, a warmer glass temperatureis maintained, increasing the R-Valueby up to an additional 104%.

• In summer, up to a 49% reduction in solar heat gain helps reduce air-conditioning costs.

Alside offers a variety of ENERGY STARqualified products. Consult your window professional for the optimal glass packagerequired for your home and climate zone.
