This month's product focus features windows and doors.

Simonton

StormBreaker Plus Sliding Impact vinyl doors are designed for coastal homes where hurricanes and severe weather can be a problem. The doors are made with one pane of tempered glass and one pane of impact-resistant laminated glass that enables them to stand up to fierce weather conditions. Much like a car windshield, when these doors are struck by flying objects, the glass is more resistant to breaking. If the flying object fractures the glass, the laminated glass will remain intact within the window frame and protect the home from becoming pressurized. StormBreaker doors come in two- and three-panel configurations and range in size from 5 feet by 6 feet, 8 inches to 12 feet by 8 feet. Nine stock sizes are available with tan or white vinyl frames.

Sill-Rite

A new line of solid vinyl window sills from Sill-Rite have been designed to help protect window sill area from damage caused by moisture, condensation and leaks. Available to builders and remodelers, Sill-Rite sills are completely prefabricated and finished, allowing building industry professionals to save time and labor on the job. The PVC sills resist water, mold, stains and warping. Each sill is prefinished on all edges and designed to require no priming or painting.

The Bilco Company

Constructed of vinyl for durability and corrosion resistance, the window assembly is a two-piece system consisting of a pour-in-place buck and a snap-in window unit. The buck is reinforced for strength and support to accommodate foundation pouring and incorporates weather-stripping to withstand air, dust and moisture infiltration. The window features a sleek, fully welded vinyl frame for added durability and easy cleaning with soap and water. It also utilizes Intercept Warm-Edge technology to reduce condensation around the window’s perimeter, creating a thermal barrier to reduce heat loss. An International Residential Code (IRC3000)-compliant basement egress solution, the ScapeWEL Window Well System consists of the ScapeVIEW Series 6000 Foundation Window System and a high-density polyethylene ScapeWEL Window Well.
