|---|---|---|---|
| ENERGY EFFICIENCY | Built on a highly insulated vinyl frame with advanced glass packages, including True Tri-Pane. | Same thermal core and glass options as vinyl, so you get equivalent energy performance. Select the glass package that best suits your climate and goals. | Engineered for superior thermal performance with advanced glass packages. That outperforms both vinyl and hybrid windows, making it an ideal choice for mid-rise buildings. |

| AFFORDABILITY | Smart value without compromise. You get our most popular features and styling with options you can add as your budget allows. | Adds an aluminum-clad exterior for long-term value and a broader colour palette. A modest step up in price, designed to pay off in longevity and curb appeal. | Premium construction delivers long-term value in demanding environments while reducing maintenance costs for property managers and owners. |
