NT Window announced the release of its 1800 Series Impact Resistant Window for customers in severe weather areas and coastal applications. This product combines the latest window design for thermal performance with an additional layer of safety for homeowners in the event of a storm, as the damaged glass will remain secure in the frame to keep homes safe as well as protecting the remaining building envelope.
About the 1800 Series
The 1800 Series has been tested at a third party, FGIA/AAMA-certified testing lab and meets requirements for impact resistance. In fact, after being struck by an eight-foot long, nine-pound two-by-four at close proximity, the product remained in place with no breaches upon impact.
In addition to providing protection during severe weather and hurricanes, these impact resistant windows also offer enhanced noise insulation, block UV rays, and provide additional home security. They can also decrease heat transmission, lower energy bills year-round, and increase the overall value of a home. Plus, it has aligned multi-chamber frames, heavy-duty hardware, and impact resistant glass package. A narrowline picture window profile design was also achieved allowing a larger visible glass area so that homeowners can get the protection they need without sacrificing views or energy efficiency.
The 1800 Series Impact window comes in a variety of styles: Single Hung, Sliding, Casement, Geometric shapes and a Narrowline Picture Window with the Double Hung being offered spring of this year. As far as design options, the windows are offered in crème white and almond exterior colors plus light oak, dark oak and cherry woodgrain interiors; there are three grids styles offered as well as our popular Vividcolor Custom Coated Exterior colors.
