The Perfect Window . . . Inside and Out 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.

Go 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!

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 Intercept Warm-Edge SpacerSystem. ClimaTech is up to 40% moreenergy-efficient than single or clear insulated 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 the 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.

The American ArchitecturalManufacturers Association isinternationally recognized for the development of stringent

performance standards. Every window and door that boasts AAMA certification undergoes extensive independent testing for resistance to water leakage, air pressure,and impact.

The American Society for Testing and Materials(ASTM) is a non-profit organization that provides aforum for the development

and publication of voluntary consensus standards for materials, products, systems and services. ASTM standards serve as a basis for manufacturing, procurement andregulatory activities.

The National Fenestration RatingCouncil (NFRC) establishes test criteria that set the standardfor performance ratings for manufacturers of window and

door products. The primary goal of theNFRC is to provide accurate information onthe energy performance of these products.

The Insulating Glass CertificationCouncil (IGCC) is a non-profitorganization jointly established in

1977 by manufacturers, consumers, specifiers, andothers concerned with the quality and performanceof insulating glass units. IGCC sponsors and directsan independent, true third-party certification program. Periodic accelerated laboratory tests, per American Society for Testing and Materials(ASTM) specifications, and unannounced plantquality audits and inspections assure the qualityand performance of sealed insulating glass products.

The advanced components and designused in UltraMaxx Windows exceedall criteria required by the ENERGYSTAR program. The ENERGY STARprogram is a joint venture between the

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) andthe U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE)designed to encourage homeowners to purchaseenergy-efficient products. Using less energy in ourhomes reduces the amount of CO2 emissionsreleased into the atmosphere from burning fossilfuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.
