1 Quality Vinyl Windows Doors Outdoor Living Products

2 Thermal s Commitment to Green Energy responsible products, processes and facilities Our Commitment to You & the environment For almost 50 years, Thermal Industries roots have been designing and manufacturing energy conserving window and patio door products. Our philosophy is simple: provide our customers with energy-efficient, maintenance-free products that help to lower their energy bills. From our environmentally sensitive manufacturing processes to our recycled content, our goal is to produce high-performance products that meet or exceed current energy-efficiency standards. The result? You get exactly what you need in your window and so does the environment. Green from start to finish Our vinyl manufacturing processes blend environmental sensitivity with high-quality finished products. We recycle our vinyl, glass and aluminum scrap, often selling it to companies outside our industry, such as PVC pipe manufacturers and post-industrial recyclers. Utilizing vinyl provides our customers products with sustainable life spans, keeping them out of landfills. Our lead-free PVC vinyl is not petroleum-based; its production requires no burning and generates no harmful gases. When it comes to environmentally sensitive manufacturing, our vinyl production methods are among the most progressive in the industry. Also included in the company s efforts to make it more environmentally responsible are upgrades to the equipment used to produce glass in our door and window products. Just one example is our new glass oven which uses infrared heating elements that reduce energy consumption by 75 percent, resulting in added savings for the company and the consumer. Education is Key In addition to taking steps to make the company s production processes and facilities more environmentally-friendly, Thermal Industries also educates company employees about its efforts. As a result, employees are more informed of the company s green practices and take pride in knowing they re contributing to the process. Energy-responsible products and employees green awareness are everyday practices at Thermal Industries.

3 Save money, save energy, save the environment. That s green living. With Thermal Industries high-performance window technology, you can have a proven solution to resist the sun s heat in summer and welcome it in winter. Energy-efficient Thermal Industries windows are engineered to accommodate almost any budget, providing the highest levels of year-round comfort and energy savings, making them well suited for virtually any climate zone. How do we do it? Thermal Industries is a participant in the National Fenestration Rating Council s Certification Program, a uniform national rating system for energy performance of fenestration products. All Thermal Industries Window and Patio Door products are tested to NFRC standards, certified and labeled. Our LoE 2 glass boasts up to eight layers of microscopic coatings that act like a filter: In summer, the LoE 2 glass allows ample visible light to pass through while blocking infrared and ultraviolet radiant solar energy, keeping your rooms cooler. In winter, the glass helps to keep rooms warmer by reflecting heat back into the home while letting warm, solar rays enter. The results are simple...lower energy costs and less global warming. Our warm-edge, insulating glass sealant systems flex with the glass in hot or cold temperatures to help prevent sealant failure. These insulating spacer systems keep the edges of the glass warmer, dramatically reducing condensation while keeping warm air in and cold air out. Insulating gases, such as Argon or Krypton, are used in our double and triple pane window and door products, improving the products thermal performance. ENERGY STAR qualified windows and doors from Thermal Industries, an ENERGY STAR partner, save you energy and money, increase the comfort of your home, and protect your valuable possessions from sun damage. They are also better for the environment because lowering your energy use means less air pollution from power plants, and a greener environment for everyone. All Thermal Industries Window and Door products specified with Peak Performance Ț M a dual pane insulating glass system with LoE 2 and Argon Gas, or Super Peak Performance, TM a triple pane insulating glass system with LoE 2 and Krypton gas are ENERGY STAR qualified in all 50 states. Thermal Industries' Super Peak Performance TM Glass has received the GreenSpec -Listed designation by BuildingGreen, Inc., an independent company committed to providing accurate, unbiased and timely information on building-industry products.

12 WINDOW & DOOR OPTIONS energy efficient glass Packages Windows provide many great benefits, but did you know, they can also account for up to 30% of the annual energy consumed in a home? Glass makes up almost 80% of a window and dictates how that window will perform, so it s important to choose the right glass package when replacing windows in your home. Thermal Industries offers you the option of two insulating glass upgrades. Each grade provides you with different levels of energy savings on your utility bills, enhanced ultra-violet protection and improved interior comfort. Your authorized dealer can help you choose a glass package that s right for your climate. The Performance TM Glass Advantage: The higher the R-Value, the better the insulating value and energy saving performance. Peak Performance Glass One Lite of High Performance LoE 2 Glass One Lite of Clear Glass Did you know? Windows are green because they reduce the amount of CO 2 emitted into the air from power plants by reducing the amount of heating or cooling needed in your home. NOTE: The values listed at left are CENTER OF GLASS performance characteristics. These results are determined by the use of software developed by the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories. These values are the highest results achieved by the glass packages using NFRC environmental conditions. The U-Factor values on the temporary 4"x6" labels supplied on our window and door products are NFRC results for the ENTIRE WINDOW or DOOR UNIT, both vinyl AND glass components combined. These values are achieved by the certifying agency by testing the entire window's thermal performance. Therefore, these numbers relate to the entire window s performance and will generally be lower than the Center of Glass number. Thermal Industries windows and patio doors are NFRC rated, certified and labeled for both U-factor (heat loss) and solar heat gain (heat from sunlight.) Argon Enhanced Air Space U-Channel Spacer System Super Peak Performance Glass is formulated to create the optimum level of both comfort and energy efficiency. It all starts with the glass itself. Two lites of low-emissivity glass and one lite of float glass create two chambers we enhance with Krypton gas. Krypton is an odorless, colorless, non-toxic gas that is denser than air and creates a thermal barrier between your home s interior and the fluctuating temperatures outside. The all-foam Super Spacer inhibits heat escape paths at the glass edge, providing one of the best thermal performances in the industry. Super Spacer also reduces condensation and keeps noise outside your home. Super Peak Performance Glass is a GreenSpec -Listed product as designated by BuildingGreen, Inc. The GreenSpec Directory lists product descriptions for over 2,100 environmentally preferable products. The Peak Performance Glass package is a dual-pane glass system with one lite of high performance lowemissivity glass and one lite of clear glass. The air space between the two lites of glass contains non-toxic Argon gas, which increases the insulating value of the glass unit. Intercept Warm-Edge Technology seals the glass unit. Super Peak Performance Glass Two Lites of High Performance LoE 2 Glass and One Lite of Clear Glass Two Krypton-Enhanced Air Spaces Superior Warm-Edge Technology fashionable accents Double Hung & Slider Hardware Options: Brushed Nickel Lock Brushed Nickel Handle Painted White Metal Handle Looking for the perfect finishing touch to your new vinyl replacement windows?

Jewel cut glass A V-shaped path, precisely cut into the glass surface, Jewel Cut is available polished or unpolished. The polished path is exposed to the inside surface of the window and refracts light into brilliant colors. Unpolished designs appear frosted or opaque and are on the inside pane between the glass. Or, choose from one of our Frostline Cut patterns, which are a combination of an unpolished flat surface edge on both sides of Jewel Cut Grooves.
