Windows - from Mick Kenney

Whenever time permits, we at The McKee Group like to visit the production facilities for the products we purchase. We recently toured the Simonton Window Plant in Parkersburg West Virginia.
The Simonton Brick Mould 300 single hung is the McKee standard window. This window contains Low – E glass( low emissivity). Low E glass admits the full spectrum of sunlight but blocks radiant heat from escaping. This results in energy savings for the homeowner and a more comfortable living atmosphere. The glass is also filled with Argon gas. The Argon helps to further insulate the window glass.
One thing we learned that sets Simonton Windows apart from the competitors is they are voluntarily enrolled in the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) Certification Program. AAMA has developed a strict set of guidelines that must be met to obtain the AAMA Gold certification that our windows have. These tests include water and air infiltration, structural stability and operation.
The 300 series window is also available with the double hung option. For more information on Simonton Windows go to www.simonton.com.
