Beauty Forged with Performance
- EdgeForce™ The beauty of our EdgeForce narrowline frame and sashes is subtle and substantial at the same time. The sleek design is visually clean and contemporary, with a larger glass area for exceptional daylighting and outside viewing. And beneath the elegance? Internal chambers are meticulously engineered for structural integrity and enhanced energy efficiency.
- CoreFX™ CoreFX is a structural component that never quits. This innovative composite reinforcement allows for secure mounting of hardware and the non-conductive material also reduces the transfer of energy for superior thermal performance.1
- DefenseTek™ Stylish and strong, this low-profile secure locking hardware features an indicator that tells you if your windows are left unlocked. But the true beauty of Defense-Tek is its end-of-throw cam shift locking action, expertly constructed for increased protection
- Forecaster™ Forecaster elevates both the appearance and performance of Mezzo Windows with its smooth, uniform design. The true sloped sill is expertly crafted to provide a highly efficient drainage system that promotes water runoff without the use of weep holes.2
- HP3™ The benefits distinction here is three-fold: protection from air and water infiltration, increased structural stability and enhanced beauty. The integrated telescoping sill dam effortlessly blends strength with style
- Gatekeeper™ When extreme wind and weather hit your home, Gatekeeper stands strong. Traditional sloped sill designs can allow the sash to bow during powerful winds, but with Gatekeeper interlocking sash-to-sill technology, the sash is channeled firmly into the window frame for a unified wall of strength. Combined with three layers of weatherstripping, Gatekeeper delivers unmatched protection, as well as peace of mind.
- Ocular™ Improved form and functionality is the focus of our Ocular screen bulb seal. The compression bulb aids in the installation and removal of the extruded aluminum screen. The snug fit also eliminates light penetration between the screen and frame and helps block insect access.3

ClimaTech® ThermD TG2 and ClimaTech ThermD TG2 Elite insulating glass packages
High-Performance Glass Packages – Maximize Your Energy Savings Year-Round.
- ClimaTech® combines insulating Low-E glass, argon gas and the Intercept® Warm-Edge Spacer System that features a unique, one-piece metal alloy, U-channel design that creates an effective thermal barrier.
- ClimaTech ThermD features insulating Low-E glass, argon gas and a stainless steel Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System for even greater thermal efficiency.
ClimaTech ThermD with Stainless Steel Intercept Spacer – the Strongest Choice
The spacer system plays the main role in the integrity of window construction, because it steadies the panes of glass. ClimaTech ThermD’s Intercept spacer makes the whole window system more durable due to its stainless steel alloy and original U-shaped construction. The spacer made of stainless steel precludes seal failure, because it incorporates flex for low stress on the sealant bond to compensate the influence of temperature changes. Specific characteristics of stainless steel, such as incomparable durability, resistance to corrosion and gas impermeability, increase general window thermal performance.
- Structurally Superior
- Strongest Seal
- Advanced Technology
- Energy-Efficient

Glass packages specific to your needs
In comparison with ordinary clear glass windows, insulated glass units* help to easily adapt your dwelling to specific climate challenges. You can compare the glass performance with a help of the chart below. The lower the U-Factor, the less energy is required to provide warmth. The lower the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), the less air-conditioning is used.
