5800 | Double Hung Aluminum Window

Rated Double Hung Window: CW-PG50-H AAMA rating at a test size is 60" x 99" (Tested to AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-08 specifications)

Thermal Bar Break System: 4 5/16" frame depth with a thermal bar break system used to enhance the thermal values of the frame and sash.

Frame & Sash Corners: All frame and sash corners use polyethylene gaskets for tighter air and water seals.

Flush Mount Tilt Latches: We use attractive flush mount tilt latches, allowing both sashes to tilt in for easy cleaning and removal.

Spring-Loaded Sill Locks: The lower sash uses an automatic latching system with the use of spring- loaded sill locks. This eliminates the need for cam locks and offers instant security when the window is closed.

Self-latching Locks: Self-latching locks at the head keep the top sash from dropping down while operating the lower sash. The top sash is fully functional and can be operated or tilted in for cleaning.

Sloped Sill: The double hung incorporates a sloped sill that eliminates the need for weeps under the sash. This allows for superior water drainage.

Window Balances: These are available in Class 1 or Class 5 options. Class 1 balances lift 30% of the sash weight while Class 5 lifts 70% of the sash weight.

Balance Shoes: Balance shoes easily release the sash after tilting in to 90 degrees. This eliminates the need to raise one balance higher than the other during removal, thus making removal easier.

Sash Interlock: The upper and lower sashes interlock together, which helps reduce deflection and creates a snug fit for a superior air infiltration rate.

Weatherstripping: The double hung sash and frame have multiple weatherstrip locations uniquely positioned so that weatherstripping is never disconnected, which results in outstanding air infiltration performance.

Screen: The full length screen has an extruded frame for superior durability over rolled form. The screen fits cleanly inside the main frame for protection and easy removal.

Other Options: Factory applied nail fins are available. Nail fins can be used as a flush face fin or in a more traditional 1" set back.
