Cornerstone Building Brands, a manufacturer of exterior building products in North America, has introduced black interior and exterior options on its Ply Gem® 1500 Vinyl Collection windows and patio doors.
Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection windows and patio doors now feature a coextruded black interior and exterior. This coextrusion technology provides UV protection and durability, along with proven color retention and weather resistance, as the color is integrated directly into the vinyl during manufacturing.
“Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection black windows can withstand the elements, and that’s important,” said Kate Land, vice president of product and innovation, Aperture Solutions–U.S., Cornerstone Building Brands. “With dark colors especially, manufacturers need to account for heat absorption and potential material stress. It’s why this collection was made with coextrusion technology; the process layers UV inhibitors and reflective pigments right into the product to offer long-term resistance to weathering and heat buildup.”
Beyond color, the Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection is designed to contribute to overall energy efficiency with a range of glass packages from Low-E for solar heat deflection to HPMax triple-pane for ultimate thermal efficiency. The 1500 Vinyl Collection can be ordered with Energy Star certification for any climate zone.
New black interior and exterior options in the Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection are now available through the AccuQuote ordering system.
