Tpically the coldest and least energy-efficient part of a window is at the edge of the glass, where temperatures can be 3" to 12" colder than at the pane's cent€r. Warm-Edge helps increase the temperature at the edge of the glass, so the window ransfers less of the outside temperature into thehome.

It utilizes a new "[,J' sha@ spacer constructed from tin-plated st€el, one of the lowest cmducting metals available. The spaoer is placed between the panes with only ore hidge where tempera$re might onduct across the space, increasing the tempefature at the edge of the glass.

Look Like Lites

Simulated divided lites that don't actually divide the glass on the window or door have been introduced by Manin.

The crafted wood muntins are permanently attached to the outside glass surface on both sides of the window, providing the look of authentic divided lites (small panes of single or insulating glass individually glazed into the muhtins) with added design flexibility and energy efficiency.

Since lites are attached to the glass, the builder may choose lite panerns without being limited to the sizes and shapes in which glass may becul lbey are available in 1-118" or narrow 7/8" widths, in a virtually unlimited array of patterns, with single or insulating glass.

Tough Vinyl Shutters

Vinyl shutters produced from an advanced polymolecular fonnulation for improved impact resistance and greater resiliency are new from Heartland Building Products.

Single beam torsion-bar consrucdon adds stiffuess and reduces warping and twisting. A protective weather-resistant shield concentrates ultra-violet inhibitors on the shutter surface to combat the effects of long-temt sun exposure.

Handcrafted woodgrain impressioning and a low luster exterior finish produce a deep, realistic, paintable wood pattern on the top and sides of the shutters. Louvers are set at a true 90' angle to qeate sharp shadow lines.

Shutters are available 14-314" wide, in two basic styles, Cathedral Louver and American Panel, in sizes ranging from 25" to 79" long. Colors include black, white and brown.
