1. EpicVue Windows | Jeld-Wen

EpicVue Windows

This line of clad-wood windows is engineered with a robust aluminum-extruded sash that provides rigid strength and stability and helps support the pane. This allows for expansive openings, including a 90-degree “direct set” option for panoramic views. EpicVue windows are made with Jeld-Wen’s AuraLast water-based wood treatment to protect from rot, water saturation, and termites. Available in nine wood species and five stains.

architectural wall system delivers natural wood LOOK

When aluminum or steel storefronts or curtain walls won’t do the trick, Sierra Pacific Windows offers its wood-based Architectural Wall System. The product line brings fresh design possibilities to the light commercial market with its expansive glass aesthetic, sloped glazing option, and all-wood interiors, plus a vertical glazing system that provides load-bearing structural integrity. The use of Douglas fir glulam beams can obviate the need for steel beams, even for walls up to 14 feet in height. Designs can include shed, gable, or circular styles, as well as skylight framing in flat plane, ridge, hip, or circular. The wall system can also incorporate aluminum-clad wood windows, doors, and corner units from the maker. The vertical glazed systems are tested to ASTM standards for air and water infiltration and structural wind-load performance. The glazing styles all meet a 0.28 U-value or better, and are rated for DP50 or DP70, depending on the application. The extruded aluminum exterior is available in unlimited AAMA 2605 powder-coated colors.

Scenescape Collection

This line of multi-slide, lift-and-slide, and bi-fold doors is installed on a floor sill track for smooth operation.
