New EPA Regulations For Replacement Window & Door Installation

Next year new EPA regulations that will increase the cost of most home improvements for houses built before 1978 will go into effect. Under these new regulations, called the Lead: Renovation, Repair and Painting rule, the cost of installing replacement windows and doors will go up substantially. To learn more about how the regulations will impact your own renovation plans, or to talk to a Window Man consultant about planning a renovation before the rules go into effect, stop by any of The Window Man’s three area showrooms.

Tax Rebate For Energy Efficient Windows In VA

The Window Man is anxious to let its Virginia customers know about a new money saving tax rebate soon to be debuted in VA. This new "tax rebate" will be available for energy efficient windows and doors as well as some other energy saving home improvements. 20% up to $2,000.00 may be available to you, but since the rebate is funded with money from the "TRAP" fund, the money is first come first severed. To sign up to receive an email announcing the availability of the Virginia Energy Efficiency Rebate reservation system and the Virginia Renewable Energy Rebate reservation system, visit this site now! You can also, of course, call any of our three locations to ask questions. We're always happy to help our customers save money while providing energy efficient windows and doors.

Windows For Commercial Properties

Stop by one of our three Northern Virginia showrooms to find out how The Window Man can help with your next commercial project.

Devac 400 Series

The Window Man is proud to carry Devac 400 Series windows at its three Northern Virginia locations. The DeVAC 400 Series offers high performance single frame aluminum windows for moderate temperature zones. Its resistance to air and water penetration (as well as structural characteristics) make the 400 series similar to the 600 series. The 400 Series is a popular choice for the Southern United States.

You can improved the Devac 400 series thermal performance by glazing the vertical or horizontal sliding windows with 1/2" sealed insulating glass. Fixed models can accept 1-1/4" insulated glass or panels. The series can be coupled with interior and exterior trims used in the DeVAC "no tear-out" replacement systems.

Secondary Glazing Applications
The DeVAC 400 Series is also ideal as a "secondary" window when added to the interior or exterior of an existing single-glazed window system. This provides a cost-effective solution to energy savings at a fraction of the cost of replacing windows. In addition, this secondary glazing system is a proven method to reduce outside noise penetration.

Performance Standards (reports are available)
Air Infiltration................under .15 CFM/FT crack @ 25 MPH
Water Resistance................No leakage at 8.0 PSF (56 MPH)
Structural Load.................Resists 60 PSF (150 MPH)

Sugarcreek Doors

Soft-Lite Garden Vue Window

The Window Man is pleased to offer its Northern Virginia customers Soft-Lite's stunning Garden Vue window. The Garden Vue window is specially designed to combine the aesthetic appeal of clean lines with a structural design that assures lasting durability. The glass area in a Garden Vue window is maximized because the frame and casements are aligned inside, for a "straight through" view to the outside.

The Garden Vue features locks and operators that are easy to reach, even when the window is installed behind a kitchen counter. This design permits the end casements to be opened and closed easily for ventilation.

Every Garden Vue window is custom made for a perfect fit in your home and comes with a fully transferable lifetime warranty. The warranty covers vinyl frames, sashes, the insulated glass seal, and all moving parts for defects in materials and workmanship.

Standard Garden Vue Features Include:

Casements that easily open for ventilation

Dual compression seals mean air and water tightness

30º roof for greater range of size availability and proper water drainage

Reinforced frame for maximum strength

Sunshield® Vinyl for long lasting durability

Warm Edge spacer technology

Fusion-welded frame and sash for strength.

Multi-point locking system for security.

Inter fiberglass screens remove for easy cleaning

Heavy duty, color matched hardware.

Old Style Windows

If you're restoring an historic home you may worry that when you replace the old windows with newer efficient ones you won't be able to maintain the historic integrity of the residence. But at The Window Man showrooms in Chantilly, Fairfax and Alexandria, you can order a custom wood window designed to look the same as the old-style windows.
