Elegance

The Signature boasts the finest fit and finish in the industry with its distinctive contoured millwork frame and sash designs, optional simulated divided lites, an aesthetically pleasing glazing bead, and a collection of elegant decorative glass and grid custom design options. The result is a look designed exclusively for the individual homeowner’s lifestyle, needs, and budget.

• Signature uses optimally sized 7/8” insulated glass with high performance Low E / Argon, and Super Spacer, for superior energy efficiency in dual pane insulated glass. (Other optional high performance glass packages are also offered)

• The finest “fit and finish” in the industry and the workmanship of the Signature window have earned praise from thousands of homeowners

• Signature provides a unique contoured millwork exterior design on frame and sash lines for a sleek, yet traditional appearance

• Signature’s compound welds increase the beauty of the window, while eliminating the need for weep holes

• The ergonomically designed lift rail is part of the welded sash, not part of the glazing bead where it could be broken off, be broken off, disrupting the look or efficiency of the window

• Signature’s contoured glazing bead offers clean sight lines, adds incredible aesthetic value, and leaves no sharp corners or grooves for accumulation of grime, dirt, or mold

• Available in (7) exterior colors, Signature is also offered in custom coatings in any color you choose

• Signature comes standard in Cream White – “The Right White” that looks like fresh paint, with no dingy blue or gray tint to detract from your home’s appearance

• Five interior colors, including three interior woodgrains are available for the look of real wood

• Optional SDL’s (simulated divided lites) for an authentic wood look or use in historic applications

Maintenance-Free Enjoyment

The Signature window offers a complete line of window styles from double hung and sliders to bows and bays, all of which are a breeze to operate and can be conveniently cleaned from the interior of the home. Signature’s advanced materials eliminate worries of fading, cracking, warping, and peeling.

• Signature utilizes Super Spacer, the true warm edge, non-metallic, energy efficient spacer system that far outperforms the old technology aluminum box spacers. This “Health Smart® Spacer” significantly reduces the opportunity for mold and mildew to form on the window.

• Signature’s proven, reliable Constant Force Balance System provides nearly effortless window operation over the life of the window, which is far superior to spiral or block & tackle systems.

• MicroShield antimicrobial triple weather stripping maintains a weather-tight fit between the sashes and frame, keeps mold and mildew at bay, and is especially helpful for people with allergies and asthma. This completes the package for a truly “Health Smart ®” window.

• Structural silicone glazing adds strength by completely surrounding the glass and permanently bonding it to the sash frame.

Signature Window Construction

Strength

Don't sacrifice strength at these critical barriers to your home. Signature windows use the most technologically advanced materials for maximized strength against harsh weather, intrusion, and health hazards.

• EnviroTherm injection foam filled for additional insulation and strength

• Multi-chamber uPVC sash and frame extrusions create added insulation

• Heavy duty sash stops and vent latches for added beauty and safety while still allowing ventilation

• Fusion welded master frame and sashes provide maximum strength at all corners and seal chambers adding to Signature’s insulation value

• True sloped sill (not the snap-in type) eliminates weep holes that can clog

• Full interlock at the meeting rail provides added strength, security, and performance

• Endurex composite, non-metallic reinforcement at the meeting rails adds strength, limits conduction and convection, and maximizes energy efficiency

• Locking balance shoe allows the sash to tilt while remaining secure in the frame

• MicroShield antimicrobial triple weather stripping and bulb seals provide maximum efficiency and resistance to air and water infiltration, mold, dust, fungi, pollen, and harmful bacteria

Performance

Custom designed and custom manufactured with premium standard features, the Signature window utilizes a proven design that will instantly increase the strength, appearance, and energy efficiency of your home.

• Signature’s streamlined lock is extremely low profile, not visible from the outside

• Signature’s extruded, heavy duty screen frame with internal metal corner key provides superior strength and durability

• The highly coveted Ultra SeaClear screen comes standard in Signature windows.  In addition to superior strength and durability, the Ultra SeaClear screen also offers increased visibility and light transmittance, improved air flow, and maximized insect protection

• Signature windows are Energy Star qualified, NFRC certified and energy tax credit compliant - providing performance you can depend on.

• Signature’s MicroShield antimicrobial triple weather stripping maximizes resistance to air and water infiltration, mold, dust, fungi, pollen, and harmful bacteria.

• Signature windows use advanced Super Spacer® as a standard to create insulated glass with a warm edge around the perimeter. Super Spacer is a non-metallic, structural foam spacer that blocks heat escape, dramatically reduces condensation, holds insulating gases better than other spacers, and offsets the effects of temperature changes to prevent stress cracks.

Thermal Performance

U Factor - Thermal Insulation

The U Factor indicates how easily heat will flow through the window, whereas R Factor indicates the opposite: how well the window will resist heat flow. The lower the U Factor, the better a window insulates

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient

A window’s Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SGHC) is the amount of solar radiation admitted through it. The lower a window’s SHGC, the less solar heat is transmitted into the house and the easier it is to keep your house cool in the summer. On the other hand, in northern climates a higher SHGC can provide beneficial passive solar heating in the winter. Signature offers a variety of high performance Low E glass packages with varying SHGC ratings to suit your needs, based on your climate.

Visible Transmittance (VT)

VT measures the percentage of visible light that is admitted through the window. Signature’s spectrally selective glass coating packages have been designed to enhance a window’s thermal performance by blocking a large percentage of ultraviolet and infrared light, while maximizing visible light transmission. Clear glass itself blocks about 20% of visible light.
