2. Masonite / Door Series

This new fiberglass door, along with the entire VistaGrande collection, is offered in textured fir grain or the traditional smooth surface. The new door is available in 6’ 8” and 8’ heights. VistaGrande’s durable fiberglass construction resists denting, splitting, warping, cracking and rusting. It comes with limited lifetime warranty.

3. Sierra Pacific Windows / Windows

The Sierra Pacific Windows’ H3 Window uses vinyl between wood and aluminum to create a nearly perfect thermal break and excellent overall energy performance. A “snap-lock” system connects the vinyl to the aluminum cladding on the exterior and the solid wood extension jambs and stops. H3 windows are double- or triple-glazed with numerous high-performance coating options. Interior wood—including all 13 optional trim style—is available in nine species that can be factory finished in three stain colors.

5. LaCantina / Multi-Slide Door System

Perfect for hot or cold climates, LaCantina’s Aluminum Thermally Controlled Multi-slide Door System features a narrow 215⁄16” stile and rail profile with thermal struts throughout to enhance performance. The thicker 2¼” panels are suitable for high wind environments, and the panel design offers split finish options for exterior and interior. Hardware finishes are available in stainless or bronze, and a system automation option exists for further ease of use. LaCantina offers a range of glazing options for improved thermal performance.

6. NanaWall / Frameless Panel System

ClimaClear by NanaWall, the first frameless weather-resistant panel sliding system, makes use of an H-shaped vertical gasket to handle water infiltration. The gasket runs the length of the panels, so interlocking seals fill the gaps between panels when the system is fully extended. Panels are available in heights of up to 10’ 6” and up to 4’ 1” in width. Single-action swing panels are avilable up to 3’ 7” in width. A minimal 1’ 8” swing panel is available for spaces that won’t fit a swing door.

7. Weather Shield / Patio Windows and Doors
