They are in the interior of the frame. Imagine a metal bar in your hands, now wrap it in garden hose. Is it cold, or is it the same temperature as the garden hose? Whay I am trying to demonstrate is that the reinforcement is in the insulated part of the vinyl. The hot and cold transfer is limited. I do not know about tri-state windows, but I would steer clear of your Champion window sales person. Some companies will even screw all the pivot bars into metal. For homeowners who live in the Gulf Coast region, it is a must.
Re: Are aluminum reinforced windows necessary? I am partial to Lang Exteriors powerweld window and offered price. Can anyone direct me to a maker of a similar window that has metal reenforces jam and sash? Thx in advance. Ps i attached a picture to show the windows features. I would never purchase a cheap window such as the one the other poster is describing. Cheap windows tend to be much more costly than expensive windows. Imprint Sitemap Privacy policy.

And not just in one sense, either, but in three different ways: High energy efficiency with HBI triple glazing 1 Energy savings. The frames 16, 17 also include an outwardly projecting nailing flange The window frames 16, 17 are manufactured with nailing flanges 40 extending around all four sides. However, the flanges on inner jambs 23, 23a adjacent the mullion 30 are trimmed away at the building site before assembly into final form.
A second window assembly 45 of the invention, shown in FIG. Two vertically extending mullions 55, 60 add structural rigidity to the assembly The two particularly preferred window assemblies 15, 45 shown in FIGS. However, metal reinforced mullions of the present invention are also suitable for use with other types of fenestrations including but not limited to sliding sash windows, picture windows, awning windows, jalousie windows, tilt and turn windows and patio doors of all types.
A first preferred mullion 30 of the invention is shown in FIG. The mullion 30 includes a metal reinforcing bar 65 joining a first lineal 21 to a second lineal The first lineal 21 includes elongated internal walls 67, 68, 69 defining an elongated first channel The second lineal 22 includes elongated internal walls 77, 78, 79 defining an elongated second channel The metal reinforcing bar 65 is a steel bar having an elongated, thin blade 81 disposed between the two mullion halves 21, 22 and a first beam 83, 84 including a first portion 83 and a second portion The beam portions 83, 34 are welded to the blade The first portion 83 fits snugly within the first channel 70, and the second portion 84 fits snugly within the second channel The blade 81 includes an exterior end 85 extending exteriorly from the first beam 83, 84 and an interior end 86 spaced interiorly from the beam 83, The exterior end 85 is spaced farther from the beam 83, 84 than the interior end Accordingly, an exterior portion 87 of the blade 81 between the beam 83, 84 and exterior end 85 is much larger than an interior portion 88 between the interior end 86 and beam 83, The blade 81 fits into an elongated narrow gap 90 between the mullions 21, Two face caps 95, are provided to close off this gap 90, thereby enhancing structural stability, appearance and thermal performance of the assembly An exterior face cap 95 includes an exterior face cover 96 connected to legs 97, 98 inserted into exterior slits 99, defined by elongated exterior walls of the mullion halves or lineals 21, An interior face cap includes an interior face cover connected to legs , inserted into interior slits , defined by elongated interior walls of the lineals 21, A second preferred mullion is shown in FIG.
The second mullion includes a metal reinforcing bar 65 joining the first lineal 21 and second lineal The bar 65 includes a blade 81 and first beam 83, 84 and exterior end 85 as described above for the first mullion The metal bar 65 is an aluminum alloy extrusion including a second beam , having a first interior portion interior of the first lineal 21 and a second interior portion interior of the second lineal The second beam 13 1, is joined to an interior end 86 of the blade A face cap covers the second beam , to provide a uniform appearance on the interior side.
The face cap is a vinyl extrusion including a generally U-shaped cover plate attached to fingers , located adjacent respective lineals 21, A third preferred reinforcing mullion is shown in FIG.
The third mullion has a metal reinforcing bar 65 including a blade 81, first beam 83, 84 and face cap similar to the second mullion described above. The metal bar 65 is an aluminum alloy extrusion wherein the second beam 13 1, defines an elongated hollow, generally rectangular cavity A steel reinforcing bar partially fills the cavity inside the beam , as shown. The steel bar is preferably an elongated hollow, generally rectangular structure. Referring now to FIG.
The support studs , , , may be made from wood or metal, and they define a generally rectangular window opening There is shown in FIG. The preferred securement means includes a steel plate , two high strength steel bolts or posts , and several wood screws for attaching the plate to the support structure The key for window deadbolts is in the shape of a pin.
It suspends from a hanger and is chained to the sash so it never gets lost. Vinyl locks , on the other hand, have a smoother look than deadbolts because of their unwrinkled texture. They're less obstructive to the window's overall appearance since they blend in with the same color and finish.
With a latch-on mechanism, vinyl locks are simpler and quicker to operate than deadlocks. Call now for a free quote Protect Your Home provides true nationwide monitoring with call centers all around the country. Sign In Sign Up.
