2 The Wise Choice The Earthwise Group is a national network of select window manufacturers who work together to produce high quality Earthwise windows and patio doors. Showcase Custom Vinyl Windows and Doors is proud to be to an active member of this esteemed organization, serving customers in the Gulf Coast region. While all Earthwise products are essentially the same, they are manufactured in regional manufacturing facilities so that each window and door can be built using the specific components that are best suited to the geographic region in which it will be installed. No other window supplier can offer this type of regionally-specific manufacturing flexibility. Vinyl Technology The design of the window and the quality of the extrusions ensure the beauty and performance of the finished product. Earthwise Windows were developed in conjunction with our partner, Deceuninck, LLC, recognized as the world s leading designer and extruder of vinyl window systems. Since social responsibility is important to us, all Earthwise vinyl extrusions are produced in the USA, using abundantly common natural materials. Also, virtually all of the components used to make our products are 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly. Deceuninck Vinyl Performance Comparison Color Retention Dimensional Stability Impact Resistance 1,210% better than competition 325% better than industry standard 41% better than industry standard Color Retention measures color shift based on laboratory testing which simulates two years of extreme UV exposure. Dimensional Stability measures the change in profile shape resulting from environmental temperature changes. Impact Resistance measures resistance to general abuses during fabrication, transportation, storage, installation and everyday use. Manufacturing Excellence Earthwise windows are all produced using technologically advanced, state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and techniques. Strict compliance to lean manufacturing and continuous improvement principles ensures that Earthwise windows and doors will always deliver industry-leading quality and performance. In fact, the Earthwise Group was recently named Company of the Year in the Large Company category by Made in USA - Certified, an independent third-party certification company. Proven Quality Earthwise vinyl windows set the standard for quality and service in the window industry. Our windows are engineered and built to meet the highest quality standards and performance specifications in the industry. Earthwise vinyl windows are tested to NFRC and ENERGY STAR standards. The Earthwise Group has earned ENERGY STAR s prestigious Manufacturing Partner status. We are proud to say that all Earthwise products have earned the Good Housekeeping Seal. The Good Housekeeping Seal is the most recognized warranty for quality assurance and customer satisfaction in America. The Earthwise Group is one of a select few window manufacturers to have ever earned the Good Housekeeping Seal. The ENERGY STAR program is a voluntary partnership between the US Department of Energy and participating window manufacturers. All of our windows using Cardinal double strength Low-E glass and Argon gas are ENERGY STAR compliant. The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is a non-profit organization created to establish a voluntary national energy performance rating and labeling system for windows and skylights. All Earthwise products conform to NFRC rating guidelines. Earthwise windows and doors meet or exceed all of these demanding rating requirements, and will provide you with a lifetime of reliable performance and industry-leading energy efficiency.

3 High Performance Glass Our Insulated Glass Technology The insulated glass used in our Earthwise windows sets the standard for long-term value and thermal performance. Our insulated glass panels are custom-manufactured to our specifications by Cardinal Glass Industries, one of the world s leading providers of superior quality glass products. From the melting of sand, to the production of float glass, to the application of silver ions to produce low-emissivity coatings, Cardinal manufactures high quality insulated glass for use in energyefficient buildings around the world. At Showcase Custom Vinyl Windows and Doors, we maintain a clear vision - designing and fabricating windows and doors using the most advanced components available. To sustain that vision, we invest heavily in research and development. For insulated glass, our research led us to the selection of premium options listed here. Our Laminated Glass Technology Our laminated glass consists of annealed, heat-strengthened or tempered glass with one or more transparent, highstrength interlayers, bonded together to create a stronger, sturdier glass unit. We offer multiple interlayer options to meet various codes and security requirements. Whether you want your laminated glass to meet hurricane codes, provide home security, or reduce noise, Showcase offers a product to meet your needs, delivering a level of security and serenity that can t be realized with ordinary glass. LoĒ²-6 Glass with Argon gas filling Our LoĒ³-6 glass delivers the ideal balance of solar control and high visibility. It also provides the highest levels of yearround comfort and energy savings, making it the perfect choice, no matter where you live. The secret? An unprecedented triple layer of silver. This goes beyond ordinary low-e glass; LoĒ³-6 sets a new standard for insulated glass performance. With three layers of year-round thermal protection, the benefits are exceptional. The result: a clear coating that blocks even more solar gain than ever before, delivers great thermal performance and lets the natural light stream in. You ll notice the difference below between clear glass, regular low-e glass and new LoĒ³- 6. LoĒ²-270 Glass with Argon gas filling Our LoĒ²-270 glass is the perfect choice for all season comfort. It reduces solar heat gain by 50% or more when compared to ordinary glass. Although it is clear, LoĒ²- 270 even outperforms the ordinary tinted glass typically used in sunny climates. LoĒ²-270 also lets the light shine in to warm your house during the cooler winter months. LoĒ²-240 Glass with Argon gas filling Our LoĒ²-240 glass provides a great combination of aesthetic appeal, energy savings and indoor comfort. This cool, spectrally-selective coating is applied to clear glass, so that the appearance and performance are the same, regardless of glass thickness. LoĒ²-240 is more than solar control glass. Its advanced coating formulation also generates the lowest possible U-factor, providing comfort and energy savings during cold winter weather. ANNEALED GLASS breaks easily, producing long, sharp splinters. TEMPERED GLASS shatters completely under higher levels of impact energy, and few pieces remain in the frame. LAMINATED GLASS may crack under pressure, but tends to remain integral, adhering to the plastic vinyl interlayer. Optional Obscure Glass Obscure glass is commonly used in bathrooms to distort the view from outside the home. Choose from these options. Our Low-E Glass Technology Earthwise windows and doors by Showcase are manufactured using the most advanced Low-E coatings and warm edge technology available today. We offer 3 different Low-E products that bring energy savings and comfort to your home. Glue Chip Pattern Rain Pattern Obscured Pattern Satin Pattern Showcase brochure 12pg.indd 3 6/27/14 12:49 PM

10 Earthwise143 Impact Windows Laminated Glass Technology Our laminated glass consists of annealed, heat-strengthened or tempered glass with one or more transparent, highstrength interlayers bonded together to create a stronger, sturdier glass unit. ANNEALED GLASS breaks easily, producing long, sharp splinters. Earthwise 143 Impact Products At Showcase Custom Vinyl Windows and Doors, we take the weather seriously. Our products are manufactured in Houston, Texas, and sold to dealers throughout the Gulf Coast region. We understand how brutal the weather can be in coastal regions and we manufacture our products accordingly. Our vinyl frames are stronger than those of other vinyl producers, allowing our products to achieve some of the best performance ratings in the business. Our proprietary, custom-made reinforcements and hardware systems allow us to offer premium Impact and hurricane performance at a very reasonable price. Showcase products have been tested all along the Gulf Coast, against some of the toughest hurricanes the United States has ever seen. Our products have passed with flying colors, withstanding the likes of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike and others. Protection From Break-Ins By Vandals, Burglars and Weather: Repeated blows from bats, crowbars, hammers or bricks may cause the glass itself to crack. The PVB interlayer holds the glass together and the pane within the frame, making access to the house interior difficult. In a hurricane, the integrity of the window is not compromised. Meets ASTM F-1223 (class 1) forced entry standard. Showcase brochure 12pg.indd 10 Shielding From Ultraviolet Rays: All things tend to fade when subjected to prolonged sun exposure. The laminated insulating glass in the 143 Window Series helps protect fabric, furniture and other items in a home from degradation by blocking the majority of UV rays, while still allowing light to shine through. TEMPERED GLASS shatters completely under higher levels of impact energy, and few pieces remain in the frame. LAMINATED GLASS may crack under pressure, but tends to remain integral, adhering to the plastic vinyl interlayer. Whether you want your laminated glass to meet hurricane codes, provide home security, or reduce noise, we offer a product to meet your requirements, delivering a level of security and serenity that can t be realized with ordinary glass. TDI Certified and Tested Showcase products are tested by an independent laboratory and certified by TDI (the Texas Department of Insurance) for both replacement and new construction applications. Our Impact products are available in White, Beige, and Clay. Our Beige products are also available with a laminated Bronze exterior. We take great pride in the extraordinary reputation our products have earned, and we back them with world-class service and an excellent warranty. So, make The Wise ChoiceTM, select Earthwise 143 products for your Impact window and door needs, and enjoy some peace of mind. Greatly Reduced Sound Transmission: Acoustic studies show reductions of up to 50% in the transmission of outside noise, compared to ordinary glass. This makes for a more peaceful and restful home, regardless of location. Proven Resistance to Penetration From Flying Debris: Standardized missile testing shows our windows resist repeated blows by a 9 pound, 10 Ft, 2x4 beam traveling at 34 mph. They have resisted wind velocities of mph. No need for ungainly plywood, or telltale metal shutters. Meets CPSC, CFR 1201 and ANSI Z97.1 safety glazing standards. ENERGY STAR Performance: In order to reduce solar heat gain intake and reduce heating and cooling costs throughout the year, the 143 Window Series meets ENERGY STAR requirements.
