Alside UltraMaxx™ Fusion-Welded Vinyl Windows
The ultimate choice in strength and comfort.
Energy-Efficient comfort season after season
If you're a homeowner, you know that it costs money to stay comfortable. In the summer, you pay to keep the heat out.
In the winter, you pay to keep it in. That's where ordinary windows fall short. They do little to stop the gain-or loss-of heat.
That's why UltraMaxx® Fusion-Welded Vinyl Windows are one of the smartest Investments you can make. UltraMaxx Vinyl Windows
feature over a dozen advanced design features that block the flow of heat through your home, effectively lowering your energy
bills and keeping you comfortable all year round.
Experience you can trust.
UltraMaxx Windows are more than just frames, sashes and glass. Each UltraMaxx Window is built with the confidence and know-how
of our product development group-experts in designing, building and testing superior, energy-efficient windows. Our engineers
understand all the technical requirements that go into making an exceptional window. The end result is a superior,
state-of-the-art, energy-saving replacement window designed to uphold your total satisfaction and appease your impeccable taste.
A commitment to be the best inside and out.
UltraMaxx's innovatively engineered components establish the groundwork for superior energy savings.
UltraMaxx's unique design helps save energy and money all year round. It starts with the multi-chambered design that effectively
traps dead air to produce an insulating barrier. The fusion-welded frames and sashes provide superior structural strength and form
a permanent barrier against air and moisture. Add to that special multi-layer weather stripping and a superior sash interlock system
that creates an even tighter seal and you have a window that provides greater energy savings and lower heating and cooling bills.
The quality construction ensures the UltraMaxx Window won't rot, swell, split, corrode or pit. UltraMaxx's Intercept™ Warm Edge
Spacer System with high-efficiency insulated glass creates a strong barrier to help stop heat loss during winter and heat gain during
the summer. And the extra thick frames and sashes are made from premium virgin vinyl (PVC) that is tough, durable and requires very
minimal maintenance, other than an occasional washing.
Opening and closing the UltraMaxx Window is simple thanks to the Constant Force balance system and heavy duty operating hardware.
It's designed to operate smoothly, even after decades of regular use. A full capture sill helps prevent water and air infiltration while
maintaining the timeless detailed appearance characteristic of double hung windows. Beveled mainframes on double hung, sliding and
casement windows offer a sleek aesthetic design that will add to the curb appeal of any home.
Energy Efficiency.
Structural integrity for long lasting durability and peace of mind.
Advanced design and quality materials provide UltraMaxx® with years if exceptional energy savings and hassel-free use.
- Vinyl frames and sashes will never chip, peel crack or warp. Made tough and solid with virgin vinyl (PVC) resin,
their color is formulated throughout so the beautiful luster lasts.
- A network of strategic insulating air chambers help reduce conduction and cut high energy bills.
- Insulated glass unit featuring double strength glass with optimal air space improves year-round performance.
- Interlock at sash meeting rails create a super-tight seal against air infiltration, adding to your sense of security,
comfort and well being.
- PPG Intercept™ Warm Edge Spacer System maximizes window performance and longevity.

ClimaTech®. Your solution for increased window performance.
The optional ClimaTech Insulated Glass Package combines PPG's Solarban® 60 multi-layered Low-E Glass with the
Intercept Warm Edge Spacer System and argon gas. The ClimaTech glass package is up to 40% more energy efficient
than most other low-E or mid-E glass systems, and provides more than twice the energy efficiency of clear glass units.
UltraMaxx Windows with ClimaTech are so efficient; they far exceed the performance requirements set forth
by the US Department of Energy in conjunction with the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) test criteria. The NFRC is an
organization that was established to oversee the implementation of performance ratings by manufacturers of window and door products.
One of the most critical NFRC tests measures the rate of heat loss through a window or door. This is known as a U-Value.
The lower the U-Value, the better the product is at resisting heat flow, which results in a product with a greater insulating value.
The chart below clearly indicates that an UltraMaxx Window with the ClimaTech option will be far more energy efficient than a window with
a clear glass unit.
Another critical 1NFK ( test is for solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). This procedure measures how well a product
blocks heat caused by sunlight. Again, the lower the number, the less solar heat the window transmits into the home. As shown here, the
performance of the UltraMaxx Window will increase substantially with the addition of the ClimaTech Insulated Glass Package. The benefit to
this is that your air conditioner will work more efficiently, thereby lowering your energy requirements.
UltraMaxx Windows earn Energy Star® approval.
The advanced components and design used in UltraMaxx Windows exceed all criteria required by the Energy Star® program. The Energy Star®
program is a joint venture between the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) designed to encourage
homeowners to purchase energy-efficient products. Using less energy in our homes reduces the amount of CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere
from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.
Make your home an energy miser.
UltraMaxx Windows are designed for superior thermal performance. By choosing our ClimaTech® insulated glass package,
featuring PPG's Low-E Glass and the Intercept™ Warm Edge Spacer System, you can help reduce your energy costs even more, while further reducing
consumption of fossil fuels.
What makes the ClimaTech® insulate glass package so effective?
Since 80% of a window is glass, substantial heating and cooling savings come from improved glass performance.
- Our combination of UV filtering Low-E Glass, insulating argon gas and the Intercept™ Warm Edge Spacer System creates significant energy efficiency.
- Together they can cut the damaging effects of the sun, which can lead to the fading of carpets, curtains and furniture by an additional 72% over clear
insulated glass units.
- In winter, a warmer glass temperature is maintained, increasing the R-value by an additional 104%.
- In summer, a 49% reduction in solar heat gain helps cut air-conditioning costs.
The result: Your monthly utility bills will reflect savings year around.
