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 reinorced with Fiberbeam™ Reinorcementwith 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 reinorcements are also included in Penguinpicture windows and sliding windows. For added strength the reinorcementis 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 lie o the window.And instead o metal reinorcements which conduct heat and cold, Penguindouble-hung windows eature InterForce II
TM
high-perormance internal berglassreinorcements or added strength, security and energy eciency.
Independent tests prove Penguin windows perorm 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 efciency technology, including:Patented* R-Core
®
insulation
The R-actor (insulation value) perlinear inch o a Penguin windowrame 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 manyrerigerator 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-ecient insulatedglass unit and a reliable seal or the lie o the window.
Penguin Glass Systems
Penguin windows eature the very best in thermal eciency technology and yourchoice o ve grades o insulating glass packages or optimal perormance.Each system incorporates either argon (40%** denser than air) or krypton(190%** denser than air). These sae, naturally occurring gases help to blockthe transer o heat better than air which increases energy eciency, addsprotection rom the sun’s damaging rays, and helps to deaden sound.

PINCH
Penguin windows are entirely pinch usion welded – bothsashes and mainrames. 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 beautiul or the lieo your window.In addition to our thermally superior vinyl, Penguin windowmainrames are lled with patented* R-Core. This high-density, solid-polyurethane insulation increases both thermalperormance and sound deadening properties.

For optimal thermal perormance, Penguinoers 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 manuacturers. ENERGY STARperormance requirements are tailored to t the energy needs o the country’s4 dierent 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.
