ThermoView Industries Unveils New State-of-the-Art Compozit Window At Annual VP Meeting LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- To most homeowners, a window is not just a window anymore. So, what does the most innovative window on the market mean to homeowners? ThermoView Industries, Inc. , one of the nation's largest full-service home improvement remodeling companies, believes it has the answer to that question. At their annual vice presidents' meeting, ThermoView unveiled a prototype of a new Compozit window that is believed to be made of the strongest, most durable material on the market. While being 40% stronger than current vinyl windows, the new Compozit window is also 40% lighter, comes in a variety of designer colors and can also provide substantial energy savings when installed throughout a home. Additionally, this new window is expected to be priced in line with ThermoView's other top of the line window based products. "With the new Compozit window, we are continuing our advancement in new product technology and our efforts to have the best products on the market," said Charles L. Smith, ThermoView's president and CEO. "The new Compozit window, made of this state-of-the-art material and extrusion process, will give homeowner's a highly weatherable product that will last for a substantially longer period of time than the ordinary vinyl products currently on the market. Additionally, we are developing a warranty for this product that will be unprecedented in the industry. We believe that this new Compozit window will be the only one of its kind and coupled with the unmatched warranty will make it a product that stands alone in the home improvement industry. This and the possibility of ultimate energy savings as well, make this product a great investment for the homeowner." ThermoView's Compozit window components are manufactured through their joint venture with Roycom, Inc., a Canada-based extruder of window and door profiles which are produced with proprietary thermoplastic resins engineered by GE Plastics, a division of General Electric Company. ThermoView currently markets and distributes Compozit products in the midwestern U. S. through its Thermal Line Windows, LLP and Leingang Siding and Window, Inc. subsidiaries. "The manufacturing process for the new Compozit window has been a very solid and detailed process. We have incorporated many revisions for quality and have worked very hard to make sure that we can price this new product in line with our current offerings and that has taken some time. All told though, we anticipate the new Compozit window to be available late in the first quarter (calendar year) of 2004. The unveiling of this product to our subsidiary vice presidents not only shows ThermoView's investment in the future of the home improvement business but is also a testament of our commitment to our shareholders as a company focused on growth and innovation." At the meeting where the new prototype Compozit window was unveiled, ThermoView also introduced David Iglehart as the corporations' new National Advertising Director and Ed Antle as the new National Marketing Director. "These gentleman come to ThermoView Industries with great experience and fresh perspectives and this further establishes our plan for greater efficiencies in these two critical areas of our business," Smith Said.
