NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Silver Line today introduced a new and improved a line of windows and patio doors designed to withstand unique coastal weather conditions and help protect homes built at or near the shoreline from the destructive forces of a hurricane or other severe weather.* Understanding that the damaging effects of severe weather are often felt beyond the point of landfall, Silver Line now offers a combination of window solutions designed for building, remodeling, or replacement projects at homes located both at the coast (one mile or less from the shoreline) and near the coast (more than one mile from the shoreline).* High Performance Grade Ratings for Enhanced Protection For homes located near the coast*– typically more than one mile from the shoreline – Silver Line® new construction windows and doors with a Performance Grade (PG) upgrade offer enhanced protection from high winds and rains, making them ideal for any rebuilding or remodeling project. Window features include accessories for an easy, weather-tight installation, and sturdy, vinyl construction for, low-maintenance convenience. When specified with the appropriate energy efficient options, these Silver Line windows and patio doors also meet ENERGY STAR® version 5.0 (2010) performance requirements. Homeowners can choose from double-hung, single-hung, casement, awning, and patio door styles for their building or remodeling project. For homeowners looking to replace older windows without disturbing the window frame, Silver Line also offers a selection of replacement window styles that provide the same sturdy construction and energy efficient features. Style choices include double-hung, sliding, casement, awning or patio doors, and come in a full range of custom sizes. Impact Resistant Glass helps protect the building envelope Studies have shown that a breach in the building envelope leads to the most devastating storm damage in homes, and suggest taking measures to protect the building envelope. Silver Line impact resistant windows and doors feature laminate glass that helps protect homes from damaging wind and rain even when struck by wind-borne debris. All exposed hardware is color coordinated and made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Homeowners can choose from a variety of window styles, including double-hung, single-hung, casement, awning, and patio doors for their rebuild or remodel. *See your local code official for building code requirements in your area.
