Hallmark Windows and Siding is a fan
of the Sheffield window from Alside. Sheffield's Intercept Warm
Edge Spacer System with high-efficiency insulated glass creates an
effective barrier that helps to prevent heat loss during winter or
heat gain during the hot summer months. The quality construction
ensures that it won't rot, peel, split, corrode or pit. The premium
virgin vinyl (PVC) forms the extra-thick walls of Sheffield's sturdy
frames and sashes. It's tough, durable and other than an occasional
washing, requires minimal maintenance.
To ensure easy opening and closing of the
Sheffield Window, the Constant Force balance system and E-Gard operating
hardware will continue to operate perfectly, even after decades of
regular use. A sloped sill helps prevent water and air infiltration
while maintaining the timeless detailed appearance characteristic of
double-hung windows. Beveled mainframes on double-hung, sliding and
casement windows provide a finished appearance complementing every
home style.
Are
Alside Sheffield Windows really that good? Independent tests give
you an unbiased answer.
You expect us to say Sheffield Windows are
technically superior. And we understand that you might want to verify
our claim.
That's why we have independent testing and certification agencies
test Sheffield Windows. Here's what their findings say:
- Sheffield Windows easily passed the rigorous air infiltration
resistance testing procedure of the American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM). ASTM E 283.
- Sheffield Windows resisted water infiltration during a test
in which the equivalent of eight inches of rain an hour is blown onto
the window at a simulated wind speed of approximately 60 mph. ASTM
E 547.
- Sheffield Windows maintained their structural strength and
integrity in tests simulating winds of over 155 mph. (This is the same
wind speed reserved for Category 5 hurricanes by the National Hurricane
Center). ASTM E 330. These tests were witnessed by independent testing
laboratories utilizing the nationally recognized and accepted American
Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) test standards and criteria.
Tough tests, tough judges, tough window. Sheffield Windows. The best
way to look out on the world.
