Elite Green Shield R-5 Windows for your home, your office and our planet
 Elite Green Shield R-5 energy-efficient, Energy Star™ qualified windows save you money each and every day. Plus, you’ll be more comfortable the whole time you live with them.
Designed to ensure top performance, the Elite Green Shield R-5 window system has triple insulating glass, two lites of soft coat Low-E glass, argon gas filling, Duralite™ warm edge spacer, Enviro-Foam insulated frame and sashes, anti-microbial treated weather-seals and UltraVue™ screen.
In our time of increasing environmental awareness and rising energy costs, homeowners are looking for ways to go “green” without breaking the bank. One way is to replace your inefficient windows. Of the homeowners “greening” their homes through remodeling projects, nearly half replace their windows.
Windows can account for between 10 and 25 percent of the total energy consumption for the heating and cooling of an average home. Installing energy-efficient windows can greatly reduce energy consumption and, most importantly, the amount of money required to comfortably heat and cool your home.
Green Shield dual-pane, argon gas-filled windows with SunClean solar selective Low-E glass coatings, windows have the most energy-efficient spacers, as measured by their U-value (a measure of thermal efficiency).
Choosing the most energy-efficient windows can save you hundreds of dollars a year, spare the environment from tons of CO2 and improve your windows’ thermal performance by 45 percent.
How can you start saving money and the environment? Choose B.F. Rich Elite R-5 Green Shield. The Green Shield label tells you at a glance which windows will decrease your home’s environmental impact and increase the amount of money in your bank account.
Enviro-Foam Insulated Sashes and Frame
To increase thermal performance B.F. Rich' s Elite Green Shield Windows have polyurethane Enviro-Foam insulation. Enviro-Foam insulation is injected into specific cavities inside the vinyl frame and sash as to reduce heat transfer rates and improve condensation resistance.
Unlike other foam-insulated windows, Elite Green Shield sashes have a capillary tube that is inserted and sealed in the lower sash rails for residual moisture drainage. This innovative design by B.F. Rich prevents residual moisture from being absorbed into the Enviro-Foam insulation so it maintains its insulating properties and provides protection against the formation of mold.
Elite Green Shield double-hung windows are tested to a DP-55 Rating. They are all-vinyl maintenance free construction that will never crack, rot, or peel, will never need painting and are easy to clean.
Triple glazed 7/8-inch insulating glass includes two lites of soft coat Low-E and patented Duralite™ warm edge spacer. Sure-Fill argon gas provides optimal insulating value to save you precious heating and cooling dollars.
Tilt-in cleaning of double-hung and slider windows from the comfort and safety of the inside of your home.
Double locks over 20" and double night latches for security and safety with the windows open or closed.
Double-hungs and sliders come with a half screen with UltraVue™ cloth and anti-microbial treated weather seals, full screen are optional.
The Elite Green Shield window surpasses all industry standards for vinyl tilt windows.
Our “Reputation for Excellence” is clear to see! Elite Green Shield windows are available in double-hung, slider, picture window, casement, awning, shapes, bow and bay. Frame styles include replacement, new construction and exterior brick mold options. Screens are included with all operating windows. Elite Green Shield truly rivals wood windows in beauty with the bonus of maintenance-free construction.
B.F. Rich Elite Green Shield casement & awning windows feature equal-lite frames so they align beautifully with stationary or architectural shape frames. Concealed hinges create a sleek appearance inside and out. Innovative and patented nesting casement hardware technology offers a 90° opening for optimum ventilation and the ability to clean the window from the inside of your home. Our casement multi-point locking system allows for easy operation and provides security and a tight seal.
Elite Green Shield awning windows can be used alone or positioned above or below a window or door to add ventilation and light to a room. When placed in rows or even against other windows, they can create a "wall of light" effect that adds beauty and functionality to a room.
Elite Green Shield awning windows have the same frame and sash as a casement window except they are usually wider than they are tall and are hinged on the top and crank open from the bottom towards the outside of the house.
