PGT SERIES 2100: THE BEAUTY OF WOOD WITHOUT THE HASSLES PGT
Series 2100 is a complete line of vinyl windows for new construction with unsurpassed wood-like details and optimal thermal performance. The details consist of traditional brickmould frames, contour grids, simulated divided lites, wood-like trim detail and Super Spacer® technology. This attention to detail is unmatched and sets PGT Vinyl Series 2100 windows apart.
And as a proud partner of the US Department of Energy’s ENERGY STAR® program, all of PGT’s 2100 Series standard products comply with ENERGY STAR. Additionally, PGT Vinyl Series 2100 windows come standard with double strength insulating glass and hi-performance Low-E, as well as Super Spacer® technology. Double strength glass and the insulating, structural foam Super Spacer deliver a 9oF (6o C) warmer average edge temperature in cold weather tests. They also keep inside air cooler on hot summer days. Super Spacer beats metal spacers by virtually eliminating condensation. It also enhances overall Rvalues as much as 30 percent.
PGT promises delivery of 2100 Series complete and on-time in one week, and backs the line with one of the best warranties in the industry--a lifetime warranty on the frame, insulating glass components and hardware. Products are available in white or beige and meet AAMA, NFRC, FBC certifications.
PGT WINGUARD WITH ETERNA FINISH ETERNA,
a simulated woodgrain finish, on PGT WinGuard offers the visual beauty and warmth of wood in durable, low-maintenance aluminum frames. The finish is an authentic reproduction of five popular woodgrains: acacia, cherry, light oak, dark oak, and dark walnut. It is available on WinGuard casement, architectural and picture windows, sliding glass doors, and French doors. ETERNA Finish is quickly becoming the logical solution in coastal replacement projects when moisture adversely affects wood products.

Available with two, three or four tracks, WinGuard sliding glass door Series 780 is also available as a bypass or pocket door. It comes standard with corrosion-resistant hardware and fasteners, and fully weatherstripped construction. Maximum reinforced corner door panel size is 4’ x 10.’ Choose white, bronze or gray.

The Architectural Systems products have been engineered to perform above industry standards. The sliding glass door has a threshold measuring a mere 3 7/8 inches, but it yields water-pressure resistance up to 24.75 psf. It doesn’t just perform under pressure, the end user will also appreciate the unique step-on threshold design with treading. The threshold can be stepped on rather than stepped over like most flange threshold designs. All products feature details such as concealed stainless steel fasteners, redundant weatherstripping, extended palate of paint colors and finishes, as well as robust design features like double-hallow panel extrusions, oversized interlocks, narrow sightlines and marine glazed aesthetics that will entertain even the most discerning eye. Built for strength, protection and beauty, PGT Architectural Systems is an ideal choice for your next commercial project.
