HALLMARK
New windows can improve your home’s comort, valueand appearance. But the windows you select can makea big dierence in what kind o return you get on yourinvestment. How do you begin to nd the right windowor your home when they all appear to be so similar?Economy models may seem ine at irst glance, butonce you know what to look or in a window, you’ll seewhat a big dierence the little details can make.Penguin windows are custom made to the exactspeciications o your home or better-perorming,better-looking results, with no unsightly gaps to patchand paint. Our windows eature state-o-the-art materials,precision engineering and proven construction methods,or windows that last a lietime.

Premium quality materials for a lifetime of hassle-free performance.
Not all vinyl windows are created equal. Low-grade PVC can bend, bow and discolor.That’s why Penguin windows are made rom our high quality New Generation
TM
vinyl-thestrongest, most advanced material we could nd. Specially ormulated uiPVC (polyvinylchloride), New Generation vinyl withstands harsh weather and wear-and-tear better,with through-and-through color to resist the appearance o scratching and look likenew or years to come.
Fiberbeam™ with I-Beam Construction
Each Penguin double-hung sill is reinorced with Fiberbeam™ Reinorcementwith I-Beam Construction. Designed to resist wind velocity pressures o 75 poundsper square oot (equal to a wind load o 170 miles per hour) this technology providesadded durability and strength to the sill o the window. The extra rigid sill maintainsits weather seal with the sash to keep out air and water in even the most erocioushurricane wind conditions. Fiberbeam reinorcements are also included in Penguinpicture windows and sliding windows. For added strength the reinorcementis used in the sill and head o these windows.
 Superior manufacturing methods ensure superior strength.
Most windows are held together with staples or screws and caulk that can loosenor weaken over time. But Penguin sashes and rames are pinch usion welded —an advanced technique that permanently uses all our sides together into a singleweather-tight unit, guaranteed to stay strong and square or the lie o the window.And instead o metal reinorcements which conduct heat and cold, Penguindouble-hung windows eature InterForce II
TM
high-perormance internal berglassreinorcements or added strength, security and energy eciency.
Independent tests prove Penguin windows perorm signifcantly better than the industry standard or vinyl insulating glass windows and muchbetter than many wood or vinyl brands. That’s because every Penguinwindow eatures the very best in thermal efciency technology, including:Patented* R-Core
®
insulation
The R-actor (insulation value) perlinear inch o a Penguin windowrame is seven times greater than thato an ordinary vinyl rame. The secretis our patented R-Core insulation –a high-density solid-polyurethaneinsulation, like the kind used in manyrerigerator and reezer doors.
*U.S. Patent Number 4,516,356
Warm-edge Intercept 
®
 glass spacer system
 
This advanced insulated glass spacer system virtually eliminates cold-spot corners,rost, og and condensation. Like all spacers, it works by maintaining a consistentspace between the two panes o glass to interrupt the natural fow o heat to cold.Unlike other spacers, Intercept is a continuous U-shaped channel that fexes as theglass expands and contracts. The result is a stronger, more energy-ecient insulatedglass unit and a reliable seal or the lie o the window.
Penguin Glass Systems
Penguin windows eature the very best in thermal eciency technology and yourchoice o ve grades o insulating glass packages or optimal perormance.Each system incorporates either argon (40%** denser than air) or krypton(190%** denser than air). These sae, naturally occurring gases help to blockthe transer o heat better than air which increases energy eciency, addsprotection rom the sun’s damaging rays, and helps to deaden sound.

PINCH
Penguin windows are entirely pinch usion welded – bothsashes and mainrames. We weld vinyl sections togetherto create a solid, one piece unit that won’t come loose orweaken over the years.Corrosion and Ultra Violet resistant coating eatured on allcasement window hardware keeping it beautiul or the lieo your window.In addition to our thermally superior vinyl, Penguin windowmainrames are lled with patented* R-Core. This high-density, solid-polyurethane insulation increases both thermalperormance and sound deadening properties.
Choose your level of comfort.
For optimal thermal perormance, Penguinoers ve grades o insulating glass:
The Penguin window was designed with Quality in Mind, but don’t just takeour word on it, let the product certifcation speak or itsel.
Penguin windows with a Low-E argon or krypton glass package meetThe Department o Energy’s ENERGY STAR requirements or your region. TheENERGY STAR Window Program is a voluntary partnership between the U.S.Department o Energy and participating window manuacturers. ENERGY STARperormance requirements are tailored to t the energy needs o the country’s4 dierent regions — Northern, North/Central, South/Central and Southernstates. Your investment in ENERGY STAR windows will pay or itsel over time,and then the savings is money in the bank every year!
Penguin windows ... good or you, good or your home and good orthe environment.
