Worried About Noise? Consider Mon-Ray

Mon-Ray custom fit secondary glazing windows and Mon-Ray custom fit classic series storm door may be an answer for you!


The unique design and applications of Mon-Ray windows far exceeds the performance standards of other storm windows. Rising energy costs and the growing problems of outside noise infiltration have made it necessary to consider upgrading existing window units. Mon-Ray provides an additional insulating blanket of air space and dramatically reduces costly air leakage. Mon-Ray secondary glazing windows can be adapted to any existing window opening.

Mon-Ray Classic Series storm doors are the result of over forty years of research, design and production. Pound for pound, no other storm door can compare to its overall strength, energy-efficiency and attractive, trim-line appearance.

The exceptionaly strong tubular frame and Z-bar are made of tough T6 aluminum. This additional heat tempering gives the aluminum a special retention memory. When twisted it will return to its original, straight-line shape. Because of the superior strength of T6 tempering, the aluminum extrusions in the Classic door are not as thick and bulky as those in other doors. The result is a more attractive, trim-line appearance with more area for viewing and ventilating.

Each of the corners are neatly joined together with a solid aluminum gusset that is over 1/4" thick. The corner gussets are securely anchored to the frame with four stainless steel screws to prevent twisting and separating. The sturdy, tubular, aluminum frame section will not easily bend, dent or sag.

DeVAC 400 Series: Single Frame Non Thermo-Barrier

We're proud to carry the DeVAC 400 Series at all three The Window Man Northern Virginia locations.

The 400’s resistance to air and water penetration, as well as its structural characteristics, is similar to the 600 series, making it a popular choice for the temperature weather of Southern US.

You can achieve improved 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 400 series can be coupled with the interior and exterior trims used in the DeVAC "no tear-out" replacement systems.

Maintaining New Doors?

A lot of The Window Man customers wonder how they can make sure new doors last? First off, when you buy a new door make sure to finish all six sides.

If all six sides are not finished after purchasing, the warranty is voided. It's also the primary problem that contributes to wear and tear on your new door. The areas most often skipped are the top and bottom of the door, but they're actually more important to finish than the other four sides. Why? Moisture is going to hit that raw wood surface and affect the door, creating grooves in the wood.

For more information on making your new door last, or to see the wide variety of new doors to choose from for your renovation or new construction project, stop by one of The Window Man's three VA showrooms today.
