Platinum Conservation Series Vinyl Windows and Patio Doors . . .

• Are so durable that the vast majority of them installed are still in use. At the end of their useful life – like all vinyl – they can be recycled.1

• Reduce electricity usage. A study conducted by Franklin Associates found that using vinyl over alternative framing options saves the U.S. nearly two trillion BTUs of energy per year – enough to meet the yearly electrical needs of 20,000 single-family homes.1

• Vinyl can be reprocessed and recycled repeatedly. Scrap is routinely recycled into other vinyl products. In fact, 99% of the vinyl used by processors goes into a finished product.1

• More than eight million pounds of window profile waste is diverted from landfills annually thanks to successful buy-back programs initiated by window manufacturers like AMI.1

Did You Know?

Exceptionally energy-smart and weathertight, Platinum Conservation Series Windows and Patio Doors not only help 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. Vinyl windows and patio doors also are eco-friendly because vinyl resin is derived largely from common salt – a sustainable and abundant natural resource.1

In addition, the exterior color finishes for Platinum Conservation Series Windows and Patio Doors are water-based and environmentally friendly, meeting current and future EPA standards regarding VOCs and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). Tests include: UV resistance, humidity and corrosion resistance, impact, adhesion, window cleaner and mortar testing.

When you consider that windows are roughly 80% glass, you’ll see why it’s important to choose a glass system designed to meet the specific challenges of your climate. Upgrading your windows with a ClimaTech insulated glass package can further enhance your energy savings. ClimaTech combines multi-layered, low emissivity (Low-E) glass, argon gas† and the PPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System for greater energy efficiency compared to a standard clear glass unit. The superior thermal performance of a ClimaTech insulating glass system can help lower your energy costs while further reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. Low-E glass also helps prevent penetration of UV rays that cause carpets and furnishings to fade.

*Full screens are standard on exterior color-finished windows.

Platinum Conservation Series with ClimaTech far exceed the performance requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Energy in conjunction with the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) test criteria. One of the most critical NFRC tests measures the rate of heat loss through a window or door (U-Factor). The lower the U-Factor, the less energy you’ll need to heat your home. 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 more you’ll conserve on air-conditioning usage.

Triple-pane glass option shown.

High-performance warm-edge technology.The spacer system in your window is small but powerful. It stabilizes the panes of glass and also helps prevent the transfer of heat and cold at the edge of the glass. Platinum Conservation Series incorporate the PPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer, a sealed, one-piece metal alloy in a U-shaped design that serves as a thermal barrier. It’s stronger and better at retaining insulating gas than many conventional spacers and is nearly 25% more effective than a traditional metal spacer at the edge of the glass unit.

Insulating gas – a valuable thermal barrier.Another valuable layer of protection against energy loss is the insulating gas between the panes of glass. Choosing a ClimaTech glass package with argon or krypton gas creates a thermal barrier to prevent the conduction of heat and cold. This dense, invisible gas also helps reduce noise infiltration.

During the winter, Low-E glass lets warm solar rays into your home, while preventing indoor heat from escaping.

In summer months, Low-E glass filters the sun’s rays and reduces heat penetration from solar energy.

Proven Quality Assurance The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) Gold Label on window and door products is the mark of integrity and superior quality. This certification is AAMA’s most stringent level of testing for thermal performance, as well as resistance to air leakage, water penetration and wind pressure.
