PRESS RELEASE Newly redesigned all vinyl line offers maximum energy efficiency and enhanced curb appeal Burlington, Ontario. January 5, 2010: Pollard Windows Inc. has recently redesigned its all vinyl window and door line, Advantage Line, for the spring with energy efficiency as the focus. The new Advantage Line windows and doors continue to be ENERGY STAR® qualified but now meet the criteria for some of the coldest ENERGY STAR zones as well as meeting the strictest building codes. The new Advantage Line offers better sight lines and as a result, enhanced curb appeal. The new design allows for thicker overall sealed glass which can meet a higher STC rating (noise reduction). The thicker profile means a sturdier construction and increased energy efficiency means reduced condensation. A completely new introduction for the Advantage Line is the launch of an all vinyl double hung, which was previously not available. Both standard and custom sizes are available, making the Advantage Line the perfect choice for new construction or renovation projects. Pollard Windows also offers vinyl clad wood windows; Liberty Collection windows are also ENERGY STAR qualified. Liberty Collection windows combined the durability of a vinyl exterior with the beauty of a natural wood interior in maple, oak or pine. About Pollard Windows Pollard Windows was founded by a young visionary with a strong work ethic. Norman Pollard arrived in Canada in 1947 ready to embrace a new life for himself and his family. A skilled carpenter, he taught his wife and children everything he knew about woodworking. And in 1948, the family business was born. The Pollard formula for success was simple: work hard, reinvest in new technology, and give customers more for their money. Today, Pollard operates out of a 300,000 sq. ft. plant and is recognized as a leader in window and door manufacturing technology. Pollard Windows is committed to the environment and is a member of both the Canadian and U.S. Green Building Councils® and is a long standing participant in the ENERGY STAR program. It’s products are engineered to be ‘GREEN’. The durable vinyl exterior can be easily recycled and ensures the window will last for years to come. The high energy performance not only lowers heating and cooling costs but also the amount of green house gases that are released into the environment. Pollard Windows has been involved in many LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) projects across North America which have received the highest certification, Platinum, under this program. Pollard Windows serves both the new construction and replacement window and door markets. For more information call the Pollard Windows Marketing Department at 1-800-263-6616. -end- Close Window
