Featuring a sash that swings out a full 90 degrees for improved airflow, LifeGuard IG Casement windows are designed with one impact-resistant lite of glass and a lite of non-impact glass with an insulating airspace in between. This results in windows that meet stricter coastal building codes for both energy efficiency and impact protection.
Complement the style of your home or add your own distinctive look with optional Simulated Divided Lite (SDL), aluminum airspace or snap-in wood perimeter grilles featuring a "frame" design using concealed pins to snap them securely in place for superior strength compared to stick grilles found on other window brands.
Weather Shield's exclusive Custom Wood Interiors Collection® offers eight wood species that allow you to match the fine cabinetry, furniture, floor and trim within one room or throughout your home.
In addition to the standard operator handle, optional round, folding, "T" and ADA operator handle styles are available. The standard hardware finish is Goldtone. Other finishes are optionally available as well.
A concealed hinged arm operator on operating casement units provides smooth operation. Seacoast corrosion-resistant operator arms and stainless steel slides are offered as an option for operating casement units.
With 55 standard and designer colors, plus virtually any custom color under the sun, Weather Shield's exclusive Accentials™ Distinctive Colors & Finishes program makes it easy to add a personal touch to the windows and doors of your home. Or, you can select from eight anodized aluminum exterior finishes that provide a durable, sleek appearance.
A second lite of annealed non-impact glass on the window unit's exterior allows for optional Low E2 coatings and creates an insulating airspace that allows the windows to meet the thermal performance requirements established for the ENERGY STAR® program.
DP +55/-68 PSF for operating casement units in sizes through 28" x 68" glass size. DP +55/-67 PSF for stationary picture center units in sizes through 56-1/2" x 68" glass size. DP +55/-67 PSF for casement transoms in sizes through 68" x 28" glass size.
A heavy-duty .090" gauge polyvinyl butyral (PVB) laminated interlayer is bonded between two panes of annealed or heat-strengthened glass. This impact-resistant lite on the interior side of the window helps prevent flying debris from entering the home during high windstorms.
Thick wood window frames are protected by a virtually maintenance-free, heavy-duty extruded aluminum-clad exterior that resists denting, dimpling, fading and chalking far better than thinner roll-formed aluminum exteriors found on many other brands of windows. Plus, a rigid integral nailing fin provides greater structural stability and easier installation.
