Cabernet R-5 Green Shield Windows
"Tomorrow's Technology Today!"
Cabernet R-5 Green Shield 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 Cabernet R-5 Green Shield window system has double insulating glass, one lite of solar selective soft coat low-e glass, argon gas filling, Duralite™ warm edge spacer, one lite of U4 hard coat low-e glass, 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.
Cabernet R-5 Green Shield are dual glazed. They have SunClean solar selective soft coat low-e glass on surface two and U4 hard coat low-e on surface four. These 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 as much as 45 percent over clear insulating glass windows.
How can you start saving money and the environment? Choose B.F. Rich Cabernet 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 Cabernet R-5 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, Cabernet R-5 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.
Cabernet R-5 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.
Double glazed 7/8-inch insulating glass includes one lite of soft coat Low-E, one lite of hard 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, a full screen is optional.
Cabernet R-5 Green Shield window surpasses all industry standards for vinyl tilt windows.
Our “Reputation for Excellence” is clear to see! Cabernet R-5 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. Cabernet R-5 Green Shield truly rivals wood windows in beauty with the bonus of maintenance-free construction.
B.F. Rich Cabernet R-5 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.
Cabernet R-5 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.
Cabernet R-5 Green Shield 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.
Innovative Energy Efficiency
U4 4th Surface Technology adds an additional hard coat low-e coating on the interior surface of a double-glazed insulating glass unit. This additional low-e coating provides improved window performance.
*Hand cleaning of 4th surface Comfort E-PS™ is different from cleaning of non-coated glass. Ask your window representative for a demonstration.
