Built right for added strength. Sunrise windows are entirely fusion welded - both sashes and mainframes use this advanced manufacturing method. Unlike companies that use staples, screws or caulk to hold their replacement frame corners together, Sunrise windows welds vinyl sections together to create a solid one-piece unit that won't come loose or weaken over the years.
New Vinyl for maintenance freedom. Every Sunrise windows is constructed with rugged maintenance-free PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Sunrise windows Vinyl sashes will never stick like wood or metal replacement units because they don't sweat or deteriorate from corrosion, pitting or rot. Wash them with soap and water and they'll look great year-after-year. We also utilize the highest quality locking and operating hardware available. Sunrise windows also feature hardware which is chemical, corrosion and ultra-violet resistant.
Built tight to keep air out. Air infiltration is a major
cause of energy loss. Sunrise windows sashes feature heavy-duty
weather-stripping and double-hung and sliders feature full meeting
rail interlocks. This method of vinyl construction creates a double
barrier to air and water.
Guaranteed For Life. Sunrise windows believes so strongly in
the durability of its products that it offers a limited lifetime
warranty on the entire unit - and it's transferable. In addition,
Sunrise windows replacement windows are backed by a lifetime
non-prorated seal failure and glass breakage warranty.

HiR-Plus glass
products from PPG Industries give you year-round energy savings and comfort by
helping manage the sun's energy and the heating system energy in your home. HiR-Plus
glass products are coated with microscopically-thin, optically transparent
layers of silver sandwiched between layers of anti-reflective metal oxide
coatings.
How Low-E Works
The Low-E allows most natural light to enter freely, but reflects a significant
portion of long and short wave heat energy. In the summer, long-wave heat energy
radiating from objects is reflected back outside, lowering cooling cost. In
winter, internal long-wave heat energy is reflected back inside, lowering
heating cost
In the summer. HiR-Plus glass products let in visible sunlight while blocking
infrared and ultraviolet solar energy that drives up cooling costs and damages
curtains, window treatments, carpeting and furnishings.
The Low-E coating manages the sun's heat in the summer by reducing the amount of
heat transferred through the window in the summer. The Low-E coating filters the
sun's short-wave radiation, which cuts down on the amount of solar heat gain
into your building. For summer comfort, the lower the indoor glass temperature,
the better the product is for comfort.
In the winter. HiR-Plus glass products offer greater comfort and reduced heating
costs by reflecting room-side heat back into the room.
The sun's energy is "SHORT WAVE RADIATION" which passes through the window and
is absorbed by carpet, furniture, etc. The energy is then transformed into long
wave radiation. The long wave radiation wants to flow from warm to cool.
Naturally, it will try to escape from the glass. At night the radiant heat
produced from furnaces, wood stoves, etc., will also want to escape out through
the glazing.
The Low-E coating prevents this when the radiant room-side heat is reflected
back into the building. This results in a lower winter U-value. For winter
comfort, the higher the indoor glass temperature, the better the product is for
comfort.
How Is It Done?
Soft coat Low-E, or sputter coating, is applied in multiple layers of optically
transparent silver sandwiched between layers of metal oxide in a vacuum chamber.
This process provides the highest level of performance and a nearly invisible
coating.
The coatings on HiR-Plus glass products are virtually invisible to the eye -
just like looking through clear glass. The coating lets in nearly all visible
sunlight. Plus, there's no haze or bluish cast associated with lower performance
mid-emissivity coated glass products. Because the coatings are permanently
sealed inside the window unit, HiR-Plus products handle just like clear, meaning
no special handling or cleaning requirements are needed.
Insulating glass units with HiR-Plus coatings are filled with pure inert Argon
or Krypton gas which limit the radiate and conductive loss of long-wave
room-side heat energy passing through the window. With the HiR-Plus coating and
Argon filling, the net result is a 104 percent performance improvement in winter
night time R-value compared to non-coated air-filled insulating glass.
HiR-Plus coated glass is the best-performing of all low-emissivity glass
products. HiR-Plus is designed for optimal year round performance and savings
for most climates while still retaining a high visible light transmission.

Intercept insulating glass technology integrates automated warm edge spacer
fabrication, enabling manufacturers to produce insulating glass with superior
thermal performance. All insulating glass will save energy. However, the
Intercept™ Plus system is true warm perimeter technology.
This advanced insulated glass spacer system utilizes a unique U-shaped channel
to separate glass panes and interrupt the natural flow of heat to cold and is
standard on most products.
Intercept reduces the thermal transfer around the glass perimeter that can cause
condensation and dripping.
While most spacer systems use four separate pieces of aluminum joined together
by corner keys, our Intercept™ warm-edge design is one continuous piece. The
result is a stronger, more energy-efficient insulated glass unit.
In addition, Intercept spacer's unique ability to flex with glass expansion and
contraction ensures a strong seal for the life of the window.
STRUCTURAL ADVANTAGE
Intercept insulating glass utilizes spacers (thin stainless or plated steel
strips) automatically formed into a one-piece glass spacer/ structural support
that flexes instead of sealant during temperature changes to resists spacer
movement and sealant failure.
