Open your eyes to the ultimate in comfort, protection and design versatility with LifeGuard IG Direct-Set windows that are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. One non-impact-resistant lite of glass and a lite of impact-resistant glass separated by an insulating airspace help these windows meet both energy and impact building codes.
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.
On direct-set windows, the glass is glazed directly into the frame to provide the maximum view possible.
Interior wood trims in 11 styles plus rosettes give you unparalleled design flexibility.
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.
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.
An optional 2" x 4-1/2" LVL engineered mullion allows mulling and stacking of combinations of LifeGuard insulated direct-set and tilt, casement or awning windows to open up even more of your home's outside views.
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.
Mitered construction on the nailing fin, frame and sash eliminates unsightly square-offs and overlapping corner cuts that are commonly seen on other window brands.
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.
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.
