*The Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process adds a layer of toughness to hardware exposed to environmental factors like direct sun and humidity. PVD finishes resist fading and discoloration, even in coastal areas. PVD has the highest grade corrosion-resistant finish. PVD finish is available on exterior hardware in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, and Brass.
Glass
A variety of decorative glass options are available. Glass is available in dual-pane in Low E1, Low E2, Low E2/ERS, Low E3, and Low E3/ERS insulated glass with argon gas. Options include glazing for sound abatement (STC/OITC), high altitudes, and California fire zones.
Screens
Screens for the Essential product line feature a durable, low maintenance aluminum surround and Marvin BrightView mesh – a fiberglass screen mesh that provides improved airflow and more natural light while keeping insects out. BrightView repels water and resists dirt and grime for a sharp, clear view.
For cohesive curb appeal, all exterior screens are available in colors to match Ultrex® fiberglass window and door exteriors.
Divided Lites
Grilles-Between-the-Glass (GBGs)
The look of multiple, individual panes of glass in a window panel is popular in a wide range of architectural styles. Grilles-Between-the-Glass, available in a number of different styles, mimic the look of these individual panes of glass without sacrificing energy efficiency.
Grilles are permanently installed between the glass panes for low maintenance and easy cleaning. Available in several popular lite cut options. Select from Stone White, Bronze, Gunmetal, or Ebony interior finish and Stone White, Cashmere, Pebble Gray, Bronze, Gunmetal, or Ebony exterior finish. Note that the interior GBG color must match the color selected for the window or door’s interior finish.
Patterns
Grilles between the glass are available in a selection of pre-designed patterns for added character. These are some of our most frequently-requested divided-lite patterns.
Exterior Trim
Get the performance of Ultrex® fiberglass in convenient, factory-cut exterior trim made for easy installation and superior performance over time. Exterior trim is available in colors to match our exterior window finish, and several trim styles. Choose Flat style for a clean, simple look or Brick Mould style for a more traditional aesthetic.
Sash Limiter
This is an optional, field or factory applied hardware device that limits sash travel to 3" for safety and security and is available with Custodial and Non-Custodial options. This Limiter cannot be readily removed in case of fire or emergency.
Units with sash limiters do not meet egress criteria.
