WINDOWS

Energy Star: All impact windows are Energy Star compliant.Energy Star Click on the logo for more information.

Custom Window Systems windows are all manufactured with LowE2.  LowE2 is two layers of silver which selectively transmits visible light, reflects solar heat and far infrared.  This reduces solar heat gain by more than 50% when compared to ordinary glass.  By putting CWS windows in your home, you are not only saving yourself hundreds of dollars in cooling costs, but helping the environment by cutting down your usage of fossil fuels.  Cardinal Glass, the manufacturerof the galss for all CWS windows, has created a brochure on the benefits of LowE glass and it can be accessed here.

Vinyl Frame: Why Vinyl?  Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is rock salt and natural gas -  totally renewable products. PVC has a very low life cycle cost and a very long lifesapn. It can also be recycled at the end of it's lifecycle and it does not require paint or cleaning with solvents.    The efficiency of vinyl is another benefit; PVC is a non-conductive thermal barrier and does not produce condensation.

Turtle Friendly: Brevard County is the largest nesting ground for endangered sea turtles in the world. Because of this, there are beachfornt lighting regulations where a home or business must not allow more than 45% light transmittance between the months of May and October. If your home is located on the beach, Custom Window Systems offers “Turtle Glass” (Cardinal LowE-240).  Turtle Glass meets "turtle code" with 40% light transmittance.  Homeowners that have the opportunity to live on our beautiful beaches can assist in sea turtle preservation.  By installing Custom Window Systems Turtle Glass windows, you are not interfering with the nesting patterns of these wonderful, ancient creatures.
