4000 Series Features

Best-in-Class Performance Features:

• Reinforced narrow silhouette frame and sash profiles make a statement of style with their low-profile design. The result is a beautiful and expanded glass area. At the same time, internal chambers increase structural integrity, rigidity and energy efficiency.
• Composite meeting-rail reinforcement allows for secure mounting of hardware; the non-conductive material helps reduce the transfer of energy.
• End-of-throw cam shift locking delivers increased strength and protection to the recessed lock. It also includes an “unlocked” indicator.
• The smooth and uniform, true sloped sill quickly directs water runoff without the use of weep holes, keeping the exterior of the window clean and attractive.
• Our telescoping sill dam delivers a triple payoff: protection from air and water infiltration, increased structural stability and enhanced beauty.
• When extreme wind and weather hit, our proprietary sill interlock stands strong. Traditional sloped sill designs can allow the sash to bow during powerful winds, but with our interlocking sash-to-sill technology, the sash is channeled firmly into the window frame for a unified wall of strength.
• Our innovative screen bulb seal creates a snug fit that eliminates light and insect penetration between the screen and frame. It also aids in easy screen installation and removal.

Additional Sliding Window Features:

• Sashes glide horizontally for easy opening and closing.
• Both sashes lift out for convenient cleaning.
• Nylon-encased dual brass roller system for smooth gliding performance.

Insulated Glass Packages to Meet Your Needs.

Maximize your energy savings by choosing a high-performance SolarZone™ insulated glass† package to meet your specific climate challenges. The lower the U-Value, the less energy you’ll need to heat your home. The lower the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), the more you’ll conserve on air-conditioning.

6000 Series Triple Pane

Featuring the same slim frame as the 4000 Series Double Hung, the 6000 Series Triple Pane window maximizes energy savings. Triple-pane glass systems deliver an added layer of protection to block energy loss. Their precision-engineered construction features a 1″ thick glass unit, three panes of single-strength glass, two surfaces of Low-E (low-emissivity) technology, two spaces of argon gas, along with the SolarZone ThermD Intercept® Stainless Steel Spacer System for an ultra-efficient energy-saving shield. This thermally optimized glass system provides a more balanced, comfortable indoor climate, while also reducing outside noise. Best yet, 6000 Series windows are covered by Window World of Youngstown’s impressive Lifetime Limited Warranty for complete peace-of-mind.

• Argon is an insulating gas between the glass panes that acts as a thermal barrier on energy loss, counteracting heat and cold conduction.
  Argon gas also helps block noise infiltration for a quieter indoor climate.
• Low-E Glass insulating technology features a virtually clear, metallic
  coating that acts as a thermal mirror to help keep warm air in during
  the winter and solar heat out during the summer. Low-E also filters out
  damaging UV rays that can cause furnishings and carpet to fade.
• SolarZone ThermD Intercept Stainless Steel Spacer features a
  unique, one-piece U-shaped design that stabilizes the panes of glass
  and creates a powerful thermal barrier. Stainless steel is impervious to
  gas transmission and withstands the effects of temperature changes,
  thus increasing gas retention and alleviating stress on the sealant bond
  to help prevent seal failure.

Advanced Triple-Pane Thermal Protection.

Comparing one glass system to the next can help you determine the best glass for
your home and climate challenges. In the table below, U-Factor represents the rate
of heat flow through the window product – the lower the U-Factor, the less energy
is needed to heat a home. The SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) represents
the solar heat penetrating through the window – the lower the number, the more
you’ll conserve on air-conditioning use. Window World 4000 Series Windows with
SolarZone ThermD TG2 glass technology are 52% more energy-efficient than clear
double-pane glass windows.

With double-hung windows, both the top and bottom panes of the window move up and down independently.

Reinforced narrow silhouette frame and sash profiles make a statement of style with their low-profile design. The result is a beautiful and expanded glass area.

At the same time, internal chambers increase structural integrity, rigidity and energy efficiency.

Yes! Save on heating and cooling costs year-round with the SolarZone™ TG2 Elite™ insulated glass package. In warm weather, it will reduce solar heat accumulation, minimize interior glare and lower interior glass temperature.

Double hung windows from Window World are made with tilt-in sashes. This means both the top and bottom sashes can be tilted inwards to make it easy to clean both the interior and exterior of your windows.

To do this, you’ll want to follow these steps:

• Unlock and raise your window about 2”.
• Move the wash assist tabs so they’re between the sash and the frame.
• Carefully pull the lower sash towards you and rest it on another object for support (be sure not to tilt it more than 90 degrees).
• Next, you’ll want to lower the upper sash. To do this, slide the tilt latches to the top and lower the top window sash, leaving an inch or more of space between it and the lower sash.
• Push the tilt latches inwards and tilt the upper sash inwards towards you, and rest it carefully on the lower sash.

Both single hung and double hung windows have window sashes that slide vertically. On single hung windows, only the bottom sash can slide, while the top sash is fixed and static. On double hung windows, both sashes can slide as desired.

All Window World double hung windows are installed by our factory trained installation team. This includes properly setting, leveling and caulking to ensure your new windows are a perfect fit. Find out more about our window installation process.

For double hung windows, both sashes can slide and allow the window to open. To open the lower sash, simply unlock the sash and slide it upwards. To open the upper sash, you’ll need to unlock your lower sash, and gently lower the upper sash to your desired position.

To lock your double hung window, it’s important to check the alignment of your locks. Make sure that your upper sash is pushed all the way up and your lower sash is pushed completely to down so they’re fully sealed. This will allow your locks to be secured without any obstructions.
