MONROE, Ohio, Sept. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovation meets
performance as Deceuninck North America introduces the eos™ window
system, which applies world-class engineering and advanced material
science to create a new window standard for performance, economy
and fabricator efficiency. Making its debut at the company's booth
(#1413) at GlassBuild America, eos is designed to meet the criteria
for ENERGY STAR® 6.0 as well as its "Most Efficient Window."
At the industry-wide event held from September 9-11 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Deceuninck will
also showcase a host of other products and capabilities, including
new door technologies, window systems designed for the West coast
and export markets, color solutions and more.
"Eos, which stands for Energy Optimized System, is also the
Greek goddess of dawn that signals a new day is dawning for energy
efficiency. At Deceuninck, we are excited to launch a brand new
window system to fabricators that meets and in some configurations
exceeds ENERGY STAR 6.0 for all climate zones," said Filip Geeraert, president and CEO of Deceuninck
North America. "Our customers have come to expect innovation, but
our approach to the new ENERGY STAR requirement has been truly
unique. By launching eos, we are well-positioned to offer what
the market demands. And we have delivered what we promised, which
are ways to build a better window."
Key performance features of the eos window system include
meeting ENERGY STAR requirements with a .27 U-factor with
double pane glass configuration and the Most Efficient Window
program with a .20 U-factor with triple pane glass and without
argon, and less than or equal to .04 air infiltration
(exceeding the version 6.0 requirement of less than or equal
to .30). The design features a unique telescoping welded sill,
triple weather seals, and patented features that enable a design
pressure rating for DP50 that can be configured for higher
performance. Triple glazing is also an option with an insulated
glazing (IG) package that can accommodate from ¾ to 1¼
inches.
Eos offers a variety of color and finish options including a
core standard offering of stocked laminate colors. Standard solid
colors include white, sandstone and clay. Standard laminate colors
include light oak, dark oak, calvados cherry and bronze. Other
available colors include chocolate brown, hunter green, silver
metallic, midnight, clay, cherry, Winchester light oak, maple, real
oak and real pine.
Eos is designed to accept a new line of accessories, offering
exceptional customization in a value package. All extrusions are
manufactured using Deceuninck's exclusive SunShield® materials
developed and formulated to withstand the harsh effects of weather
and ultraviolet light. Laminated products utilize Solex™
technology, offering curb appeal and unrivaled quality, color
retention and weather resistance. Eos is also designed for INNERGY®
Rigid Thermal Reinforcements, an advanced fiberglass insert that
helps provide greater support and insulation versus traditional
aluminium reinforcements.
On Wednesday, September 10,
Deceuninck invites its guests into a world of windows, doors and
design innovations with a hospitality event at La Cave restaurant
at the Wynn (3131 S. Las Vegas Blvd.). At the event, invited guests
will enjoy cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and connections with
