2 Comfort, Style and Energy E fficiency T The choice for energy savings and beauty. Excalibur II Windows are engineered for exceptional energy savings and beauty. Over a dozen cutting-edge features form an effective barrier against the flow of heat. Your home will stay cooler when it s hot outside, and warmer when it s cold. With Excalibur II Windows, you ll delight in a fresh look for your home with beautiful windows that complement your unique style. Choose from a variety of window and patio door options to create the perfect look for your home. Performance that s guaranteed. A recognized leader in product innovation and excellence, Alside engineers Excalibur II Windows for years of exceptional performance guaranteed. The choice for quality and peace of mind is easy: Excalibur II by Alside. Excalibur II s superior performance starts with innovatively engineered components that provide the basis for superior energy savings. The multi-chamber design of the Excalibur II Window helps trap dead air to produce an effective insulating barrier, while fusion-welded frames and sashes provide superior structural strength and create a permanent barrier against air and moisture infiltration. A special multi-layer weatherstripping and a superior sash interlock system offer additional barriers to air infiltration adding up to greater energy savings and lower utility bills. Excalibur II s warm-edge spacer system with high-efficiency insulated glass creates an effective barrier that helps to prevent heat loss during winter and heat gain during the hot summer months. Premium vinyl PVC forms the extra-thick walls of Excalibur II s sturdy frames and sashes, and the quality construction ensures that they won t rot, swell, split, corrode or pit. It s tough, durable and other than an occasional washing, requires minimal maintenance. A f f o r d a b l e l u x u r y. E x c a l i b u r I I W i n d o w s 2 3

3 Modern Technology Assures Lasting Quality High-Performance Energy Efficiency G 8 Get both style and energy savings with Excalibur II Windows, designed to maximize energy efficiency without sacrificing aesthetics in the process. 1. Vinyl frames and sashes will never chip, peel, crack or warp. Made with premium raw materials, the vinyl color is formulated throughout so the beautiful luster lasts. 2. Multi-chambered sash and mainframe create insulating air spaces for thermal efficiency. 3. Insulated glass unit featuring doublestrength glass with optimal air space improves year-round performance. 4. Warm-Edge Spacer System maximizes performance and the life of the insulated glass unit. 5. Interlock at sash meeting rail adds to your sense of security, comfort and well-being. 6. Protective bulb seal helps prevent air infiltration at the meeting rail. 7. Drop-in glazing for extra protection from the elements. 8. Fully extruded lift rails provide strength and stability for easy operation. 9. Sloped sill forces water to drain to the exterior of the window. 10. Hidden screen track for clean lines and added beauty. 11. Bulb seal at the sill provides extra protection from the elements sealing tightly against dust, dirt and air infiltration. 12. Heavy-duty, fully extruded stucco flange is available for easy installation. Plus these additional features: Fusion-welded frames and sashes add strength and rigidity. Dual ventilation limit locks for controlled air flow. Full balance covers help protect against air infiltration while adding a finished look to the window frame. Constant force balance system eliminates sash cords, weights and pulleys. You ll benefit from smooth, comfortable fingertip operation. Tilt-in top and bottom sashes make cleaning safe and easy from inside the home. Double barrier-fin weatherstripping at sash sides helps block dirt, noise, and air infiltration. Beveled exterior profile gives windows a clean, elegant look. Excalibur II is also available with a block mainframe. A An efficient window begins with a high-performance spacer system. Warm-edge spacers are so energy-efficient that they keep the glass of the window warmer so your home feels more comfortable in the cooler months. Alside Windows offer two high-performance spacers which will help your home benefit from additional energy efficiencies. The Benefits of the PPG Intercept Spacer System. The Intercept Spacer System features a unique, one-piece metal alloy, U-channel design that creates an effective thermal barrier to help reduce conducted heat loss through the window. Its sealed, one-piece design makes Intercept spacers stronger and better at retaining insulating gas than many conventional designs. The Intercept Spacer System is nearly 25% more effective than a traditional metal spacer at the edge of the glass unit. The Optional Foam Spacer System. The optional Foam Spacer System is unique in its patented design. By combining a structural foam spacer with a seal of hot melt butyl to create a non-conductive edge, the non-metal Foam Spacer System eliminates any metal to glass contact, thereby increasing the edge of glass temperatures by over 16 degrees, which proves to be over 60% more energy-efficient than a traditional metal spacer. Low-E Glass filters long-wave radiation from the sun. This reduces solar heat gain from the summer sun, helping to keep your home cooler. Low-E glass takes on a new duty in winter months. It lets warm solar rays into your home while preventing indoor heat from escaping. Alside offers a variety of ENERGY STAR qualified products. Consult your window professional for the optimal glass package required for your home and climate zone. The ClimaTech insulated glass package. Our optional ClimaTech insulated glass package combines multi-layered, low-emissivity (Low-E) glass, argon gas and the PPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System. These insulated glass packages have proven to be far more effective than ordinary clear glass units. The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE), has developed a rating system for window product performance. One of the most critical NFRC tests measures the rate of heat loss through a window or door (U-Value). The lower the U-Value, the better the product is at resisting heat flow, which results in a product with a greater insulating value. Another critical NFRC test is for Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). This procedure measures how well a product blocks heat caused by sunlight. Again, the lower the number, the less solar heat the window transmits into the home. By comparing these glass packages, it clearly shows that your choice of any optional ClimaTech insulated glass package will outperform any clear or lesser Low-E glass package, leading to increased energy savings.

Go Green Exceptionally energy-smart and weathertight, Alside Windows not only reduce fuel consumption needed to heat and cool homes, they also boast a long service life and achieve optimal material use and minimal waste in production. Virtually all in-plant vinyl scrap is recycled into other useful products, further reducing the environmental impact of waste. And because vinyl never needs to be painted, it helps eliminate paint, stain and other maintenance-related products from entering the waste stream or releasing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere. Vinyl windows also are eco-friendly because vinyl resin is derived largely from common salt a sustainable and abundant natural resource! 1 The use of fixed-lite windows and Architectural Shapes easily combine to form an elegant design (above). The gracious, unobstructed views offered by the Excalibur II Picture Window literally create a window to the world (upper right).
