SolarStar casement window

PVC windows

Presentation of the SOLARSTAR CASEMENT WINDOW

This SolarStar series introduced in 2011 is the latest evolution of the casement window system for which Solaris has become renown. A unique Solaris design, these windows are available in a 4 5/8″ or 6 5/8″ frame with the advantage of a recessed sash located within the insulated part of the wall. This unique feature, combined with a multiple air chamber design, considerably reduces heat loss and condensation.

The frame and sash have fusion-welded corner joints to prevent air and/or water infiltration, as well as a combination of three replacable weather-strips on the sash. Glazing beads for the sealed glazed units are situated on the inside for added security. These can be easily removed to replace the glazed unit.

The frame and sash on the SolarStar series are constructed of high impact resistant PVC that complies with all North American standards.
