Village Green Apartments Project
SITUATION OVERVIEW
Located across from the historic Hubbard Street “Town Green” in Glastonbury, Village Green is a newly-renovated retirement community featuring 34 garden-level units specially designed for low-income senior residents. The “Village” is managed by the Housing Authority of the Town of Glastonbury and recently the Housing Authority became eligible for $3 million in funding through an initiative from the state of Connecticut called State Housing Rehabilitation & Preservation (SHRP). The energy efficiency of the windows was a key requirement to securing the funds.
INTEGRITY SOLUTION
The Village selected Integrity® All Ultrex® Polygon and Single Hung Windows and the Glastonbury Housing Authority got more than they bargained for. The All Ultrex windows not only provide a major upgrade in energy efficiency, the Polygon and Single Hung Windows’ clean lines offer a modern, contemporary feel that truly brightens the overall appearance of the apartments. That beauty will stand the test of time too thanks to Integrity’s maintenance-free pultruded fiberglass, which has a 38% longer useful life expectancy than vinyl making it a sound, long-term investment.*
INTEGRITY ALL ULTREX WINDOWS ARE BUILT TOUGHER, LAST LONGER AND PROTECT BETTER.
• Integrity has a proven track record working with local, state and federal housing authorities and organizations to meet strict energy-efficiency and budget requirements.
• Integrity windows are ENERGY STAR® qualified, which can save 7-15% of the total energy bill over non-qualified products.**
• Integrity replacement windows come in a variety of styles, sizes and options to offer just the look you desire.
• An expansive line of contemporary design styles feature clean sight lines with narrow profiles and generous glass proportions to enhance the outside view and provide maximum day lighting.
• Ultrex pultruded fiberglass has virtually all the desirable characteristics a material used to make doors and windows would want. It’s strong, rigid, and has a low thermal expansion rate. It’s heat resistant, non-corrosive, and has low conductivity for superior energy efficiency.
