2. Stainable and paintable wood grain skin, or paintable smooth skin: Distinction Doors fiberglass skin is paint and stain ready.
3. Triple pane decorative glass: Triple pane decorative glass provides excellent thermal insulation.
4. Fiberglass skin won't dent, ding or rust: Unlike steel doors, Fiberglass is unaffected by moisture and humidity.
5. Extended lock block resists forced entry: Our 20" extended lock block adds security and peace of mind to your entry.
6. Beautifully detailed architectural panels: Distinction Doors are designed with deeper shadow lines and better curb appeal.
7. Waterproof composite stiles: Distinction Doors use a nonporous composite edge instead of a regular wood edge so it will never rot or warp.
8. Insulated core: Our environmentally-friendly insulation provides maximum thermal protection.
9. Waterproof composite top and bottom rails: Extra non-porous protection keeps water from seeping into the door.

Hydroshield Technology

Exclusive water-resistant seal protects these doors against water infiltration on all sides to prevent water damage such as warping, delamination, corrosion, rotting, and the buildup of mold and mildew.

This Hydroshield seal consists of:

Fiberglass Reinforced Door Skins: Our high-impact compression molded skins will not splinter, dent, warp, rot or rust. Surfaces are easy to stain or paint, and easy to clean. Our deep-profile fiberglass skins create stronger dimensions and crisper shadow lines. Architecturally correct stile and rail proportions enhance the door's traditional oak appearance.

Full-length Composite Stiles: Our full-length composite stiles provide complete waterproofing for the door's insulation. Composite stiles have two times the screw-holding capabilities of traditional wood-edged doors and will never splinter like wood or delaminate like steel.

Composite Top & Bottom Rails: High-strength engineered composite top and bottom rails prevent moisture from seeping into the door. Bottom rails will also accommodate a range of door sweeps.

Replace a Window that is Indented, or Not Flush with the Wall

Not all windows are flush with the wall. Some are indented in an inch or two. This means the standard flush fin window that overlaps the wall will not work because the window would need to sit deeper into the opening. 

In this case, the best method is to purchase a retrofit window with flush fins, and then cut the flush fins back to the width of the opening so the window fits inside, and the flush fins cover up the old aluminum window frame.

What are the advantages of our Vinyl products?

An average home may lose 30% of its heat or air-conditioning energy through old aluminum windows. By replacing old windows with new Low-E, double pane, retrofit vinyl windows, you can make a noticeable difference in how well a room keeps it’s temperature, and reduce the heating and cooling bill. Our retrofit vinyl windows combine technology that allows for a low cost energy efficient window replacement that will eventually pay for itself in energy efficiency savings.

Vinyl windows are durable, low-maintenance, and stylish. They never require painting and are not effected by moisture. Our vinyl windows and sliding doors have these features:

New Generation Vinyl New Generation Vinyl withstands harsh weather and wear-and-tear better. This rugged, maintenance-free, New Generation uiPV offers low conductivity and high energy-efficiency properties for your home and you'll never need to paint or stain these windows. Low-E Glass A microscopically thin, virtually invisible metallic oxide layer deposited on a window-glazing surface. Low-E can reduce heating and cooling bills plus dramatically improve overall comfort. HP SC Glass Combines solar cooling optimized Low-E with argon gas fill for high performance that is optimized for warmer climates. Pinch Fusion Welding Our Replacement Series windows are entirely fusion welded – sashes and mainframes – to create a solid, one-piece unit that maintains its strength over the years. Our state-of-the-art fusion process ensures frame and sash corners won't have the excess variance found with other welding techniques. Warm Edge Technology The Warm Edge glass spacer system reduces thermal transfer around the glass perimeter by utilizing a unique U-shaped channel to separate glass panes and interrupt the natural flow of heat to cold. Warm Edge is one continuous piece creating a stronger, more energy-efficient insulated glass unit. Custom Sizing Our windows can be ordered in 1/8 inch increments to accommodate any replacement application providing a perfect fit and minimizing installation time and special trimming requirements. Sound Reduction Optional laminated glass can improve sound control by reducing exterior noise. Limited Lifetime Warranty We are committed to providing industry-leading warranties for all of its products. DP 25 Certified Our Windows are tested to meet the air, water and structure requirements of AAMA/WDMA 101/I.S.2. DP is the design pressure rating that the window receives from this outside testing. Green Approved by the NAHB Our vinyl windows are Green Approved by the NAHB Research Center. This means you can be assured that our Vinyl doors and windows comply with specific green practice criteria in the National Green Building Standard. www.GreenApprovedProducts.com Home Improvement Tax Rebate All our Vinyl windows are Stimulus qualified, which makes you elligable to recieve a tax rebate. Energy Star All our vinyl windows meet energy star guidelines for thermal efficiency.
