We stopped by the Hurd Windows and Doors booth this afternoon at the Builders Show and spent some time learning about Hurd's new H3 window casement. This product features energy efficiency ratings which rival the industry’s premium-priced window products. The H3 can save 15-20 percent on the total cost of windows, even with an Energy Star® rating of .31 U which far exceeds the current standard of .35 U. The H3 will also exceed a more stringent Energy Star standard of .32 U that will be implemented in April.
The window’s energy-efficient design is attributed to a number of factors, including a vinyl base frame, fully-sealed corners, a solid wood interior and high-end weather stripping. The efficient base design even allows for the use of extra thick extruded aluminum cladding. Hurd’s exclusive Fusion Technology TM locks it all together to ensure superior energy performance. The H3 also comes standard with Hurd’s ComfortGlazeTM Low-E, double strength glass.
