Features and Benefits

Thermally superior, patent-pending AirCell™ design.

  • The EnergyCore material blocks thermal conductivity 6X better than fiberglass, 4X better than rigid PVC, and 3X better than wood. As a result, EnergyCore windows deliver superior energy performance.

Thermal modeling optimized insulation placement using insulation-fused profiles.

  • The system’s tri-extruded frame profiles have an engineered insulating core. EnergyCore frames improve full window U-factors by almost 15% over hollow vinyl window frames.

  • The products in the system are designed to accommodate triple glazing and reduce air infiltration to further enhance energy performance.

Exceeds Energy Star requirements.

  • EnergyCore windows using high-performance triple glazing significantly exceed today’s Energy Star criteria. Standards for energy efficiency and environmental programs such as Energy Star, NAHB’s National Green Building Standard and LEED will continue to require windows with the best thermal performance.

Manual Foam-Filled

Thermally bonded to extrusion
= efficient manufacturing

Secondary manual fill
= higher labor costs

100% profile fill
= superior insulating

Incomplete fill voids/gaps
= less efficient insulation

100% PVC
= fully weldable

Non-PVC material insulation
= non-weldable

100% recyclable
= no landfill waste

Non-recyclable
= potential landfill waste

Welded corners
= better insulating

Not weldable
= inefficient insulating ability

Saves labor/cleanup
= cost savings

Labor intensive/generates
scrap and requires cleanup
= increased costs

Durable colors and enhanced finishes.

Profiles in the system features Quanex innovative new patent-pending SuperCapSR® exterior color technology; the result of military infra-red reflective technology. This technology reflects 76% of infrared light to reduce solar heat and prevent heat-related profile distortion.

Colors: Bronze, Hunter Green, Adobe, Brick Red, Black and Gray
