About Sun

Sun Windows, Incorporated is the exclusive manufacturer of SunClad™ wood windows and doors,as well as Sun Vinyl windows. Our products are built in the U.S.A., at our factory located inOwensboro, Kentucky.

Sun’s heritage extends back to 1930, when V.E. Anderson, Sr. developed a self-storing wood stormwindow and began selling it door-to-door. Over the years, the company has evolved throughchanges in locations, name and product offerings to become a leading regional manufacturer witha focus on innovation and quality.

Sun has chosen to limit our area of service to a geographic region within 500 miles of our factory.This increases Sun’s flexibility in providing the best possible products, in a timely fashion, at acompetitive price. Our regional focus also means that many of our suppliers are close to ourlocation. This can have a positive economic and environmental impact, helping to achieveadditional credit for LEED certified projects.

The Sun brand name may not be as well known as many of our big-name competitors. That is dueto the fact that we don’t spend a lot of money on name-recognition advertising campaigns. Rather,we have chosen to invest those dollars in designing and building our products. When you chooseto buy a Sun product, you are primarily paying for the expense of product development andproduction, not advertising. Yes, we do spend some money advertising, like this product guide,but the bulk of the product price is in the product itself. Our competitors, whose names you knowwell, have to pay for that name recognition. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it means theyeither charge substantially more for a comparable product or they reduce the product cost, whichoften means they reduce the quality of the product. The big advantage for us is that we can offera product of superior quality at an excellent price.

Applications

New ConstructionNew Construction projects are either new buildings or new additions to an existing structure.

As far as windows and doors are concerned, the primary focus is on the fact that these projects

require products that are prepared to fit newly framed openings. Often, these openings can

be prepared to fit standard sized windows and doors, which saves the customer the extra

expense of custom sized units. Although, if needed, custom sized units can still be built to

meet the special needs of a project.

RenovationRenovation projects include replacing windows and doors in already finished buildings. It also

includes rebuilding or remodeling projects where windows and doors may be added to a

structure. These projects can vary greatly in their installation requirements. Replacement

products may be the best solution if you are looking to simply replace an existing window or

door. However, frame tear-outs and reframing projects may take advantage of other installation

options available with our standard product frames.

ResidentialResidential projects focus on the needs of a family dwelling. Whether it is a single family home

or a multi-family building, the requirements for Residential construction are concerned with

design, function, and safety.

CommercialSun windows and doors are a great solution for many Commercial applications. Sun is

dedicated to the specific needs of the Commercial building industry. Our staff is ready to work

with you to develop a plan to meet the requirements of your project.

Bottom Rail HeightAll standard Sun doors use a common glass door

panel with equal stiles and rails. An optional tall

bottom rail is available for applications requiring

such a profile.

• Standard = 4-11/16"

• Tall = 10"

Solid Panel Insert (Kick Panel)

Interior PanelOur standard door panel is a full view glass door panel. However, you

can add Solid Panel Inserts to create a panel with a mixture of glass

and solid surfaces to suit your project designs.

The solid panel is available in several heights. The interior panel

surface is available as a beveled panel in either 1-wide by 1-high or

2-wide by 1-high configurations.

Exterior PanelThe exterior panel is a flat, clad surface with the option of adding a

shadowbox grille.

The shadowbox grille is made from the same, low-profile, exterior

aluminum bars used on our Simulated Divided Lite grilles. The

shadowbox is permanently adhered to the panel surface.

Bar profiles available:

• Low-profile 5/8”, 1”, 1-1/4”, and 2-1/4”

Color OptionsIn addition to the configuration options, the flat panel, the shadowbox, the door panel and the

door frame can all be treated with your choice of any Sun color. This opens up a lot of design

possibilities. See our Exterior Colors page for more information.

Guarding Against Water DamageExposure to the elements can be tough on the primary glazing of any window or door. Eventually,this can cause small gaps in the seal that allow water or moisture into the inner structure of thesash or panel. This can lead to water damage to the interior wood components and the insulatedglass seal. Sun’s Water Management System provides two levels of protection against this problem.

Level 1 Protection: Water/Moisture Intrusion PreventionAlmost all clad wood windows offer some form of Level 1 protection. Sun uses silicone to sealbetween the glass and the exterior glazing lip of the sash or panel. This seal is applied all the wayaround the perimeter and prevents water or moisture from seeping into the sash or panel. However,over time, this seal will likely fail due to the harsh effects of the weather. When this occurs, wateror moisture will begin to enter the inner structure of the sash or panel, as well as the glazingchannel. This will happen to any brand window or door. Once water begins to seep into the innerstructure of the sash or panel, it can become trapped and cause deterioration of the woodcomponents and the insulated glass seal.

Level 2 Protection: Prevent Water/Moisture from being trappedThe design of Sun’s window sashes and door panels includes a system that provides a pathway forwater or moisture to drain or vent out to the exterior of the unit. It also allows the inner structureof the sashes or panels to dry out. This prevents water or moisture from becoming trapped,protecting the insulated glass unit and the interior wood components.

extrusions have a thick, hard finish which

is tougher than conventional painted

finishes. They have a long finish life with

excellent resistance to chipping,

cracking, peeling and fading.

Our standard finish meets AAMA 2604 requirements and allows us to provide 20-year finish warranty.

An optional AAMA 2605 finish is also available and offers a 30-year finish warranty.

Insulated GlassLow-Emissivity Glass Featuring Cardinal 270, 366, I-89, and Solar Passive 180

Duralite™ Glass SpacerIndustry Leading All Non-Metallic Spacer System

Sun offers energy performance glass featuring the latest advances in low-emissivity coatingsfrom Cardinal™ Glass. These special coatings improve energy efficiency by selectively filteringsunlight and solar energy. Different coatings provide performance characteristics that can bematched to your climate.

Industry Leading All Non-Metallic Spacer SystemDuralite™ is an all non-metallic spacer system that provides the best thermal performance in theindustry. Its flexible properties ensure a superior glass seal and the highest Argon gas retention inthe industry.

The spacer is applied in a single, continuous path following the perimeter of the glass. This isimportant primarily because it means that the insulated glass unit will have only one corner seam.The other three corners are a continuous bend with no joint or seam. This helps give our insulatedglass units an excellent hermetic seal and superior Argon gas retention. Most other glass spacersystems require that each corner be mechanically joined and sealed.

Argon is an inert gas, heavier than air, used to fill the sealed air space of high-performance insulatedglass units. It has no harmful effects. Filling the sealed air space with Argon improves thermalperformance by slowing convection currents within the sealed insulated unit.

Key Features of Duralite™ • Non-Metallic

• Composite Laminating Technology

• Impermeable to gas and water vapor

• Smooth visible surface appearance

• Proven adhesive technology

• Superior Argon gas retention

• Lowest Conductivity Warm-Edge Spacer

• Improves Condensation Resistance of I.G. unit

Wood Jamb Extensions

• 6-9/16” (2” extensions)• Custom Jamb Depth up to 7-9/16” (in 1/8” increments)

Sun recommends that jamb depths over 7-9/16” be custommade and applied on site by a trim specialist.

3-1/8” Jamb OptionsAllows window to be used in 3-1/8” insert/pocketwindow and retro-fit applications.

• Double Hung = Insert Jamb (pocket window)• Casement & Sash Set = No-Jamb Wood Surround

Drywall Return Jamb Option(for Casement & Sash Set Windows)

• Full Perimeter Wood Surround attached to jambface provides backing surface for drywall return• Also useful for custom extensions applied on site

Special Applications• Step Jamb for Casement & Sash Set Fixed Lites

The standard casement jamb surround is locatedtoward the inner perimeter of the frame. A StepJamb moves this to the outer most edge of thewood frame. This is valuable when mulling acasement family product to a non-casement familyproduct, such as a direct set fixed lite or a doublehung. This alternate jamb placement provides forimproved trim alignment in these applications.

In-Swing Door Exterior Frame ExtensionExtends the exterior frame 2” for 6-9/16” wall construction and stillallow in-swing doors to open fully to the interior of the building.

Ponderosa PineNothing beats the warmth and appeal of wood for the interior of your windows and doors. Sun clad woodwindows and doors feature clear, Ponderosa Pine interiors that are ideally suited for staining or painting.Ponderosa Pine is known for its straight, uniform grain and excellent finishing characteristics. You can chooseto have your windows and doors delivered without any interior finish so that you can stain or paint themyourself. We also offer white painted interior, primed, custom color painted interior and custom stained interiorfinishes.

Interior Wood Finish Options • No Finish • White Painted Finish • Primed Finish • Custom Painted (to supplied color sample)

• Custom Stained (to supplied sample)

Alternate Wood SpeciesIf you want something really special, Sun will custom build your windows and doors out of an alternate wood species. Several native wood species are available and offer the unique character of their distinctive grain and color.
