Myerstown, PA January 30, 2008 -- Solar
Innovations, Inc., a custom manufacturer of residential and commercial folding
and sliding glass doors, walls, windows, and screens,
conservatories, greenhouses, and sunrooms, announces
the release of two new specialty
windows which can stand alone or be
incorporated into any Solar Innovations™
structure.
Solar Innovations’™ Research and
Development Team has recently released two new ventilation features which can
be built into any Solar Innovations™ glazed structure or an existing
structure. Tilt-n-Turn and double hung windows are now
available from Solar Innovations™ in standard offerings of all aluminum
or aluminum exterior/wood interior compositions.
Tilt-n-Turn windows by Solar
Innovations™ are a unique combination of casement window and ventilation
unit. Opening both as an in-swing casement window and
an inward tilting ventilation option, Tilt-n-Turn windows are an excellent
choice of ventilation without obstructing a sightline. These custom features
can be designed to meet almost any structural requirement and enclosure need.
The Tilt-n-Turn windows
can be utilized either as a standalone product or be incorporated into a Solar
Innovations™ structure. Customers can combine any number of the Tilt-n-Turn
style windows to create a unique feature in their home. The in-swing and tilt,
out-swing casement style, Tilt-n-Slide, awning or hopper style, and even fixed
windows all utilize the same metal profiles, allowing for seamless integration
with all styles of windows, and providing a uniform appearance.
In swing Tilt-n-Turn options create natural
ventilation with a security feature by tilting in at the top. They open inward,
allowing for easy cleaning and an unobstructed view when
desired. Tilt-n-Turn windows
are currently being tested to a design pressure of ±60 and for Florida
Impact Certification.
Solar Innovations™’ specialty
hung windows are configured as double or single hung windows, depending on
customer preference. Tilt-in options are also available to allow for easy cleaning.
A thermally broken aluminum frame, and a one inch insulated glazing option
greatly improve thermal performance when
compared to the industry standard. Grid and fixed lite
options are available to increase the overall aesthetic appeal and meet each
customer’s design plan.
The hung window system, which has an overall
frame depth of four inches, is currently being tested for Florida Impact
Certification and design pressure rating of ± 60.
By utilizing Tilt-n-Turn windows, single or double hung windows,
and other ventilation options in glazed structures, Solar Innovations™
can aesthetically match the other fenestration products within the structure
and surrounding architecture.
This integration creates a
balance of architectural elements and meets virtually any need, while offering
customers several methods of ventilation.
Solar Innovations™ will be present at
the International Home Builders Show in Orlando, Florida from February 13th
through February 16th in booth #S11556. Please contact the marketing
department for additional information on upcoming tradeshows or their new
ventilation features at skylight@solarinnovations.com or call 800-618-0669.
