3 BERKSHIRE V I N Y L R E P L A C E M E N T W I N D O W S Beauty meets performance in Berkshire vinyl replacement windows. Quality-crafted with an elegant finish, Berkshire s fusion-welded vinyl sash and main frame will lend a touch of refinement to your home while ensuring years of smooth operation and excellent value. Berkshire windows masterfully combine energy savings and thermal efficiency with timeless style and easy upkeep. BEAUTIFUL, PRACTICAL AND STRONG Berkshire windows are expertly crafted for outstanding performance and advanced energy savings. Their impressive build begins with a fusion-welded vinyl frame and sash for increased rigidity and durability. An interlocking, steel-reinforced meeting rail and heavy-duty, multi-chambered extrusions further add to their structural integrity and strength, as well as security and insulation. Superior thermal efficiency is achieved with an airtight, multi-wall design that traps dead air to create an effective insulating barrier. Berkshire also utilizes special multi-layer weatherstripping and a compression bulb seal, along with the PPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System, to deliver year-round energy efficiency. Designed with easy upkeep in mind, the solid vinyl construction won t rot, split, corrode or pit like painted wood windows and won t swell or warp from exposure to moisture. Your windows will maintain their attractive appearance year after year. INVESTING IN YOUR HOME Like many people, your home may be one of your most important investments. Adding beautiful, low-maintenance windows can improve the curb appeal of your home while boosting its value. In most cases, you can expect to recover more than half of the cost of your replacement windows when it s time to sell.* ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY Did you know that Revere vinyl replacement windows are eco-friendly in several ways? Each window is precision-engineered to deliver superior energy efficiency and help reduce the consumption of fossil fuels for heating and cooling. And because they never need to be painted, they also lessen the amount of paint, stain and other maintenancerelated products from entering the waste stream or polluting the air with potentially harmful organic gasses. As a recyclable material, all in-plant scrap vinyl is reused for other products (such as fencing and decking) to help reduce the volume and environmental impact of waste. Vinyl windows also boast a long service life and typically weigh less than other substrate window products, requiring less energy consumption during transportation.** *The national average of the cost recouped for vinyl replacement windows is 76.6% for midrange and 76.5% for upscale, according to Remodeling magazine s Cost vs. Value Report. **Source: Vinyl Institute.

4 DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE 1 Built for lasting performance using virgin vinyl resin; solid vinyl color won t chip, peel, crack or warp. 21 Multi-chambered sash and main frame provide insulating air spaces for increased thermal efficiency Insulated glass unit with sealed air space between the panes of glass helps reduce the transfer of heat and cold PPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System saves energy by reducing the conduction of heat at the edge of the glass for superior thermal performance and longevity. 51 Interlock at steel-reinforced sash meeting rail offers increased insulation, comfort and security. 61 Bulb seal at meeting rail enhances energy efficiency. 71 Drop-in glazing provides added protection from outside elements. 81 Easy-to-operate fully extruded lift rails. 91 Sloped sill prevents accumulation of water and debris. 101 Hidden screen track creates a clean-line appearance Protective bulb seal at the sill helps block out dust, dirt and air infiltration. 6 ADDITIONAL FEATURES Fusion-welded sash and main frame for strength and rigidity. Dual ventilator locks for limited and secure opening of the window for ventilation. Full balance covers for reduced air infiltration while adding a finished look to the window frame. DuraLift block and tackle balance system for smooth operation of sashes. Tilt-in top and bottom sashes for safe and easy cleaning from inside the home. 7 8 Double-barrier fin seal weatherstripping at the sash sides helps block air, water and dirt infiltration. Beveled exterior profile creates a handsome appearance Half screens are standard; optional full screens available.* *Full screens are standard on exterior laminated color windows. HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPACER SYSTEM The PPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System features a unique, one-piece metal alloy, U-channel design that creates a powerful thermal barrier to reduce conducted heat loss through the window. Its sealed construction makes Intercept spacers stronger and better at retaining insulating gas than many conventional designs. Intercept is nearly 25% more effective than a traditional metal spacer at the edge of the glass unit. 4

5 THE POWER OF GLASS You might think of glass as being fragile, yet it is one of the most powerful elements in achieving maximum thermal efficiency. Windows are 80% glass, so it s important to choose a glass package that will protect your home from absorbing outside heat in the summer and losing indoor heat during the winter. An exceptionally strong barrier, Berkshire windows are precision-built with a 7/8" insulating glass unit utilizing double-strength glass. Upgrading your windows with optional Low-E glass will further maximize energy savings. Low-E features a virtually clear, metallic coating that acts as a thermal mirror to help keep solar heat out during the summer and warm air in during the winter. GET THE BARRIERXP ADVANTAGE! For even greater energy savings, choose Berkshire windows with one of our BarrierXP insulating glass packages* to maximize thermal efficiency and energy savings, while minimizing the damaging UV rays that cause carpets and furnishings to fade. BarrierXP combines multi-layer lowemissivity (Low-E) glass and argon gas along with the PPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System for superior energy savings. Many BarrierXP insulating glass packages meet the latest ENERGY STAR requirements. Consult your window professional for the optimal glass package required for your home and climate zone. In summer, BarrierXP reduces solar heat gain by almost 48% to help reduce air-conditioning costs. In winter, BarrierXP increases R-value (resistance to heat flow) by more than 100%. Indoors 75 Outdoors 89 Solar Gain Summer Energy Savings and Comfort Low-E insulating glass reduces heat penetration from solar energy. Indoors 70 Roomside Heat Energy Outdoors 0 Winter Energy Savings and Comfort Low-E insulating glass reduces heat loss by reflecting warm air back into your home. LOOK FOR THE NFRC LABEL The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is a non-profit industry organization that is committed to providing accurate, fair and reliable testing data to help consumers, architects and builders compare the energy performance of window and door products. When comparing one window to the next, check the U-value and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) data provided on the NFRC label. The U-value represents a window s resistance to heat loss, while the SHGC indicates how well a window might block the heat caused by sunlight. The lower the U-value, the less you ll spend heating your home. The lower the SHGC, the more you ll save on air-conditioning costs. *Optional glass packages include BarrierXP 2 and BarrierXP Plus. Insulated glass (IG) units that require capillary tubes may experience some argon gas depletion.
