Origin II™ Vinyl Technology

The heart of the Preservation platform is Origin II™ premium vinyl resin. This advanced vinyl is rugged, durable, and virtually maintenance-free. The material’s low thermal conductivity makes it the perfect choice for window manufacturing. It assures that Preservation Windows will never rot, peel, blister, swell, or deteriorate from corrosion or pitting. Preservation’s Origin II vinyl also features through-and-through color compounding, so your windows will never require staining or painting. And, Preservation utilizes natural warm white and taupe for its base vinyl color.

IntegraWeld Fusion Welding

Every sash and masterframe corner of the Preservation Window features IntegraWeld Fusion Welding, a technologically advanced method of construction that delivers superior strength. The IntegraWeld method produces full-contact welding points, and does not require below-the-face flash clean up. The result is maximum strength welding with a clean low-spread finished appearance. And, unlike mechanically fastened windows, Preservation Window corners will never work loose, or leak air or water.

Renovation Masterframe

Preservation Double-Hung, Sliding, and Casement Windows feature a beveled exterior masterframe. This masterframe design helps the Preservation Window accommodate differing installation methods and architectural styles. It helps to ensure that every Preservation Window installation will look and perform great, now and for generations to come.

Maxum33™ Fiberglass Sash Reinforcement

Our double-hung and sliding windows feature Maxum33™ fiberglass sash meeting rail reinforcements. Maxum33 adds extra strength to the sash meeting rails to help prevent flexing during heavy winds.

Progressive Efficiency Sash and Masterframe Insulation

The premium vinyl resin used in the construction of Preservation Windows provides superior energy efficiency. But we’ve taken thermal performance even further by incorporating Progressive Efficiency high-density carbonized polystyrene insulation into both the sash and masterframe of our windows. Preservation’s insulation is also pre-expanded to eliminate the inconsistencies found with some insulating methods.

TrueCapture™ Sloped Sill

Our double-hung windows feature a TrueCapture™ sloped sill. This sill design incorporates the elegant look of a traditional sloped sill with the energy-efficient properties of a capture sill. The result is a great-looking window that is better able to withstand harsh elements.

EvenForce™ Balance System

Our double-hung windows feature the EvenForce™ block and tackle balance system. This system ensures smooth and easy sash opening and closing and has been rigorously tested for decades of operation.

Phifer BetterVue®

BetterVue® screens do for your window what high-definition technology has done for television: it maximizes the view by making it sharper and more brilliant. Better airflow, a clearer view, and superior insect protection versus standard fiberglass screens.

SST Energy-Saving Foam Spacer System Insulated Glass Packages

Many windows are constructed with a metal spacer between the panes to give the insulating glass unit structural stability. However, these metal edges conduct cold from the outside of your home at a rate up to 131% higher than the SST foam spacer. This can create condensation problems at the window edge, damaging woodwork and draperies. Contact our experts today to discuss adding our SST Energy-Saving Foam Spacer System Insulated Glass Packages to your home improvement project!

Preservation Windows combine a structural foam spacer with a seal of hot melt butyl to create a “warm” non-conductive edge, so Preservation Windows virtually eliminate condensation. And, the SST warm-edge spacer design also minimizes the subtle movement of glass panes caused by changes in temperature, helping to prevent seal failure and reducing stress on the glass panes.

SST’s Proven Advantages

Exclusive, patented, true warm edge
Patented double seal system
Up to 66% more thermally efficient at the edge of glass than windows made with conventional aluminum spacers
Up to 18% improved sound absorption over traditional spacers
Over 8 times less conductive than aluminum box spacers
Reduces the chance of seal failure
Helps to lower energy costs
Tested and proven durability
A Lifetime Limited, Transferable Warranty – including glass breakage, backs all Preservation High-Performance Vinyl Replacement Windows.

Preservation Windows EnergyMaxx® Glass Package

Preservation Windows feature optional high-performance glass packages that combine our SST warm-edge spacer system, UV-filtering multiple layer Low-E glass with argon or krypton gas, in dual- or triple-pane insulating glass units. All are ENERGY STAR® qualified and they help reduce your heating and cooling costs, while making your home more comfortable.

Eco-Friendly Vinyl Windows

With Preservation, You’ll Use Less Energy and Conserve Natural Resources

Since 2000, the materials used to make every Preservation sash and masterframe are 100% recyclable—making it easy to go green. According to the Vinyl Institute, the selection of eco-friendly vinyl windows over less energy-efficient window frames saves enough energy to meet the annual electricity needs of 20,000 single-family homes.

The multiple layer, low-emissivity (Low-E) glass used in the EnergyMaxx® 10 insulated glass package is 65% more energy-efficient than a clear insulated glass package. While it helps keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, it also protects the environment, reducing the consumption of fossil fuels.

Window FAQs

Home Alside Window FAQs

Searching for home Alside window FAQs? Get answers about vinyl window pricing, installation, product guarantees and more from Preservation Home Specialists. If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact our team! We’d be happy to help.

Aren’t all window warranties practically the same?

Not really. There are as many warranties as there are window manufacturers. Some brand name factory warranties cover just the sash and frame. The rest is left up to the local fabricator who may or may not cover it. Your warranty is only as good as the company behind it. With Alside, your unit is warranted from the extrusion and parts to the glass and construction by our Lifetime Limited Warranty*, with transferability provisions. It’s one of the most comprehensive available, just what you’d expect from an industry leader.

* See printed warranty for complete details.

Will Alside windows be a good investment?

Yes, for a variety of reasons. First, you may realize savings on your heating and cooling bills. Second, they’re virtually maintenance-free, which eliminates painting costs. And finally, the transferability of one of the strongest warranties in the business may easily add to the resale value of your home.

What is the ENERGY STAR Program?

The ENERGY STAR® program was created by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy to help consumers in the recognition of energy-efficient products. This program also promotes the environmental and economic benefits of these products through the ENERGY STAR label and other program activities.

What energy-saving options should I know about?

You should give careful consideration to Alside’s ClimaTech® Insulated Glass Package, featuring Low-E glass and argon gas. Low-E glass is an excellent barrier against ultraviolet rays which fade carpet, furniture, draperies, and even woodwork. Argon gas is colorless, odorless, nonflammable, nontoxic, and above all, a safe, inert gas that is heavier than air.

Not only does argon gas help to increase the energy efficiency of a window, but helps to make your home quieter as well. When Alside windows are equipped with the ClimaTech Insulated Glass Package, they automatically meet or exceed the energy-saving requirements for all four climate zones set forth by the ENERGY STAR® Window program. Or you can get the ClimaTech Plus package with a foam spacer that provides even further energy efficiency as an option.

What is more important in saving energy, the frame or the glass?

Since 80% of a window is glass, real heating and cooling savings come from what is known as “improved glass performance,” not a high R-value on the frame. Alside uses the latest technology, known as a high performance warm edge spacer system. This spacer system helps to improve the performance and the longevity of the insulated glass unit, and is standard on all Alside windows.

I have been reading about different test results on windows. How should this impact my buying decisions?

Be careful when looking at extremely specific results since many of them do not really indicate how well the window will work for you. Some apply to just certain parts of the window, like the glass and its R-value, and do not give an overall picture. Tested in nationally-certified labs and our own modern test facility, Alside windows are engineered to provide the optimum in energy savings and are monitored by the National Fenestration Rating Council.

Do Alside windows require a lot of maintenance?

Because our frames and sashes are made of vinyl, you can say goodbye to painting and caulking. Alside windows won’t stick, and you don’t have to remove storm windows in order to clean them. In fact, you can do it all from inside your home. An occasional wipe with a damp cloth will keep your windows looking like new for years to come.

What about strength, protection and noise reduction?

You should look for a window that offers both superior strength and energy efficiency. Alside’s computer-controlled process ensures a perfectly square window sash and mainframe with superior strength. And for exceptional energy efficiency, a full interlock at the meeting rail helps protect your home against the elements, or unwanted intrusions. In addition, our insulating glass unit traps dry air, creating an exceptional comfort barrier.

Moreover, homeowners with Alside Window Systems say there’s a noticeable reduction in the amount of noise that enters their homes. A full interlock system at the point where upper and lower sashes meet helps stop air infiltration while providing an additional barrier against unwanted intrusions.

Aren’t all window manufacturers essentially the same?

Not at all. Many companies buy their parts and glass from various outside sources. At Alside, we extrude most of our own parts from the raw vinyl (PVC) resin ourselves.

You should also know that although a lot of manufacturers claim their windows are American-made, many in fact may be imported from Canada and other foreign countries. We’re proud to say that every Alside window is manufactured right here in the U.S.A.

Can I replace my old windows with different styles or types?

Certainly, since all Alside replacement windows are part of Alside’s Window System. You may want to consult an independent design specialist to find the type of window that best complements your home’s natural design. No matter what style or combination of styles you choose, however, Alside can custom-manufacture it all for you.

Preservation Window Lifetime Limited Transferable Warranty

Peace of mind. It should be the result of any good home remodeling project. Every Preservation Window is backed by a lifetime limited warranty to provide you with years of worry-free comfort. And because our warranty is fully transferable, it not only protects you, but also the resale value of your home. Plus, the warranty features an unparalleled non-prorated seal failure and glass breakage warranty. See printed warranty for complete details.
