The 925 Series

SeriousWindows combine an advanced glass package with superior fiberglass framing systems to achieve high insulation performance across the full-frame — not just measured at the center of glass.

• “Tuned” to your home’s unique location and solar exposure: Our tuning expertise and glazing options will ensure the right amount of heat to warm or cool your home for thermal efficiency, maximum comfort, and reduced energy usage.
• Custom made to match your home’s distinctive architecture: available in multiple sizes, styles, shapes and colors and stainable wood veneers, SeriousWindows are custom made to meet your home’s exact specifications and style and at no extra cost.
• Traditional classic wood window aesthetic: offering the beauty and look of classic wood windows, SeriousWindows Fiberglass Series offers custom stainable interior wood veneers and classic lines and grids profiles that match the feel of wood windows but without the problems, weight and maintenance.
• High strength, low conductivity fiberglass frame: considered the “greenest” frames on the market, fiberglass offers the durability, better thermal performance, and lower embodied energy compared to vinyl, aluminum, and wood framing materials.
• Clean, contemporary hardware: engineered to resist to a wide range of corrosive materials, our unique, clean hardware design does not obstruct views and reduces the tendency of the window to “walk” in buffeting wind conditions.
• Multi-seal weatherstripping design: conforms to the rain screen principle, for air and water tight seals and excellent air tightness.
• Fiberglass insect screen: easily removable, non-glare, fiberglass, insect screen will not rust, corrode, stain or impede visibility.
• UV protection: engineered to block up to 99.5% of harmful UV rays, our advanced glazing systems reduce fading and interior damage and contribute to a healthy indoor einvornment - all without obstructing natural lighting and visibility.
• Lifetime warranty: all SeriousWindows are covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
• Easy, safe cleaning: designed to tilt-in, lift-in or pivot-in, SeriousWindows allow you to easily clean your window from the inside of your home safely and easily.

The cutting-edge fiberglass framing systems of SeriousWindows offer superior performance to conventional fenestration materials in a number of ways: durability, stability and efficiency, making it the optimum material for super-insulating windows and preserving overall performance for the life of a window.

• Extreme corrosion resistance: fiberglass is the only framing material that particularly resists environmental damage caused by corrosive salt air or high temperatures.
• Superior insulator even in extreme environments: dimensional stability even in extreme thermal cycling (heat, cold humidity), Serious Windows fiberglass frames offer the aesthetic of classic wood clad windows but with 2x better insulation.
• High condensation resistance: the insulating nature of fiberglass prevents condensation and helps keep humidity within a proper range, this limits the growth of molds and mildew and helps keep your home’s interior air quality healthy.
• Superior strength to weight ratios: making SeriousWindows fiberglass series ideal for large window openings - 86% of the yield strength of aluminum and, pound-for-pound’s, stronger than aluminum in the lengthwise direction.
• Practically maintenance free: the inherent strength and nature to distribute impact loads even in sub-zero temperatures, fiberglass frame will not suffer the pockmarked, surface damage that is prone to wood and aluminum windows, and because fiberglass takes paint easily with excellent adhesion, you are not stuck with the color of your windows for a lifetime.
• Very low coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction: stresses on seals, caulks and joints are minimized, contributing to higher efficiency windows and tight seals that are resistance to air leakage and water penetration.
• High glass to frame ratio: the strength of our fiberglass frames means more of a viewing area because of the higher glass to frame ratio, compared to wood windows.

When To Replace Your Windows

   

When you buy super-insulating fiberglass SeriousWindows, you can rest assured in knowing that you are getting high performance windows that meet the standards of AAMA (the American Architectural Manufacturers Association). AAMA, a third-party organization that is a leading window industry source of performance standards and certification, rates the window's ability to withstand wind loads, water resistance and air infiltration rate.

Air Infiltration: Critical to the Energy Performance of Your Windows

When understanding the benefits of super-insulating SeriousWindows, it is important to understand the amount of heating or cooling that can leak around the window, or "infiltrate". The air infiltration rate measures the amount of air that passes through a window. The lower the air infiltration rate, the lower amount of air passes through gaps in or around the window. In other words, the less heating and cooling is leaking out of your window frames. Air infiltration is typically measured in CFM/ft² (cubic feet of air per minute/square footage of the window). The Efficient Windows Collaborative recommends selecting windows that have an air infiltration rate of 0.3 or below. Many styles of super-insulating SeriousWindows have an air infiltration value of less than 0.05. SeriousWindows keeps your heating and cooling inside, helping to reduce your energy bills and provide you with more consistent, year-round comfort.

AAMA Test Report Summaries: SeriousWindows Series 525, 725, 925, 1125 (Single hung, double hung, and horizontal slider styles are available only in Series 525 and 725).

Hardware - Fully nested hardware smoother, more contemporary, integrated look.
