The Key Features Of Thermalized Aluminum Windows

What is a Thermalized aluminum window?
In addition to having double or triple insulated
glass, along with other performance options such
as Thermal E and tinting, a Thermalized
aluminum windows offers another important
feature. The window frame and sash frames are
insulated against heat and cold conduction. This
is done by separating the outside metal parts
from the inside with a material such as
polyurethane, greatly reducing the amount of heat
or cold transferred through the frames. This
feature is known as a thermal break or thermal
barrier.

Thermalized Aluminum Window Performance

• Thermalized aluminum windows surpass strict
  industry specifications.
• Air leakage with a 25 MPH wind blowing outside
  cannot exceed 0.375 cubic feet per minute (CFM)
  for every foot of weather-stripped window
  perimeter.
• Our 700 Series Double Hung allows only 0.06 CFM
  air infiltration one sixth of the industry
  standard! Old, worn out windows often have rates
  of 1.5 or more, 25 times the air leakage of our
  best Thermalized aluminum windows!

Do Thermalized windows prevent condensation?
No window is condensation-proof. Even walls will
sweat under high humidity. Windows do not cause
condensation they simply prevent moisture from
escaping and provide a surface that allows
condensation to be readily seen. If inside glass
and frame surfaces on a Thermalized windows show
excessive moisture, you can be sure that moisture
is also present in your walls and ceiling.

What is the recommended interior humidity level?
The maximum recommended interior relative
humidity ranges from 15 at -20ºF to a maximum of
40 at 30º. Many homes have been built tighter
to conserve energy, leading to indoor humidity
above the recommended levels. The best way to
handle high indoor humidity is to vent the
moisture to the outside. Bathrooms, kitchens and
laundry areas should be vented with a fan, or by
opening windows slightly when the areas are in
use. If that does not help, a dehumidifier might
be necessary
