Cabernet Elite Green Shield R-5 Windows for your home, your office and our planet
 Cabernet 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 Cabernet 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 millions of 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 Cabernet 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, Cabernet 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.
Cabernet 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 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. The picture to the left shows the additional tint in the glass from the use of two coats of soft coat low-E (SunClean SolarBan 70 and SolarBan 65) to provide maximum glass performance.
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 screens are optional.
The Cabernet Elite Green Shield window surpasses all industry standards for vinyl tilt windows.
The Cabernet Elite Green Shield Tilt’N’Slide™ design allows the window to open easily and lock into any position for increased flexibility. Now exterior glass can be cleaned quickly and safely from inside the house. Homeowners can breathe easy with increased ventilation because they can now open their windows all the way.
Cabernet Elite Green Shield Tilt’N’Slide™ also provides peace of mind in an emergency situation, opening fully to allow fast and easy egress.
The Cabernet Elite Green Shield's Anti-Swing Lock feature is made of high-performance DuPont Delrin® allows the sash to be locked into any open position.
Cabernet Elite Green Shield's Tilt’N’Slide™ also allows for a quick escape in emergency situations, because windows can be opened further and faster than conventional windows.
Simply swing your Tilt'N'Slide™ window into any desired position and extend the anti-swing lever on the swing shoe to lock the position of the sash in the desired position. The use of DuPont™ Delrin® provides superior friction locking instead of common PVC materials, ensuring a positive lock every time.
To close the window, simply depress the lever on the swing shoe. The window is then free to swing closed. Should the window be accidentally forced to close, the swing shoe lever will automatically move into the release position, preventing breakage of the hardware.
Our “Reputation for Excellence” is clear to see! Cabernet Elite Green Shield windows are available in double-hung, slider, picture window, casement, awning, shapes, bow and bay.

B.F. Rich Cabernet 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.

Cabernet 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.
Cabernet 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.
