Return On Investment

Energy Bill Savings: Because we have engineered our products for strength, larger sizes are possible. Huge glass expanses not only accentuate your view but also welcome more natural light into the room. More natural light = immediate energy bill savings.

Why Aluminum Lasts Longer: Aluminum transfers energy very easily. This has wrongly been considered a negative trait but the fact is that very little energy is lost through the frame material. Other window materials absorb heat and cold into the frame, causing that material to fail prematurely. One might say that aluminum is a more intelligent window material in that it deals with such stress in a positive way by releasing the energy that would normally cause material failure as it does in vinyl and wood.

Energy Glass: We offer hundreds of high performance glazing choices on the Westwood sliding window, including spectrally selective low e glass. This is an amazing glass innovation that allows a high level of natural light into the room but reflects the harmful and uncomfortable sunrays.

STC Results: The Westwood is tested to several STC ratings. Review the list of results on our website or contact the Sales Department and we will be happy to help locate the right product.

Weather-stripping Balance: A well designed window balances the type, size and quantity of its weather-stripping. Too much and the door is hard to operate. Too little weather-stripping and the window works well but does not keep out water and wind effectively.

Furnishings and Art: Larger windows mean more natural light, saving you money. If you choose one of our higher performing glass systems the light is conditioned for greater comfort. Destructive elements such as UV Rays are filtered out, which improves your comfort and protects your flooring, furnishings and art.

Glare: Another added benefit to selecting high performing glass is that glare is radically reduced, allowing you to enjoy your view all the more. Our spectrally selective low e glass is a great start and by adding tinted glass even more glare is repelled.
