LIFEGUARD® IG DOUBLE-HUNG TILT WINDOWS

Custom Wood Interiors Collection® Weather Shield's exclusive Custom Wood Interiors Collection® offers eight wood species that allow you to match the fine cabinetry, furniture, floor and trim within one room or throughout your home. Complement the style of your home or add your own distinctive look with optional Simulated Divided Lite (SDL), aluminum airspace or snap-in wood perimeter grilles featuring a "frame" design using concealed pins to snap them securely in place for superior strength compared to stick grilles found on other window brands. 
Mitered construction on the nailing fin, frame and sash eliminates unsightly square-offs and overlapping corner cuts that are commonly seen on other window brands.
Accentials Distinctive Colors & Finishes With 55 standard and designer colors, plus virtually any custom color under the sun, Weather Shield's exclusive Accentials™ Distinctive Colors & Finishes program makes it easy to add a personal touch to the windows and doors of your home. Or, you can select from eight anodized aluminum exterior finishes that provide a durable, sleek appearance. 
Thick wood window frames are protected by a virtually maintenance-free, heavy-duty extruded aluminum-clad exterior that resists denting, dimpling, fading and chalking far better than thinner roll-formed aluminum exteriors found on many other brands of windows. Plus, a rigid integral nailing fin provides greater structural stability and installation easier.
A heavy-duty .090" gauge polyvinyl butyral (PVB) laminated interlayer is bonded between two panes of annealed or heat-strengthened glass. This impact-resistant lite on the interior side of the window helps prevent flying debris from entering the home during high windstorms.A second lite of annealed non-impact glass on the window unit's exterior allows for optional Low E2 coatings and creates an insulating airspace that allows the windows to meet the thermal performance requirements established for the ENERGY STAR® program.

A unique extruded aluminum interlocking checkrail distributes the load of impact evenly across the width of the window, and eliminates the need for unsightly windload brackets or oversized sash locks.
Low-profile tilt latch and lock mechanisms are mortised into the checkrail and are available in seven of today's most popular finishes.
