Mon-Ray Storm Doors

Mon-Ray Custom Fit Classic Series Storm Doors


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 appeareance.

The exceptional 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 strenght 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 seperating. Sturdy, tubular, aluminum frame section will not easily bend, dent or sag.

Features:

Exceptionally Strong Z-Bar...with durable Fin-Seal weatherstripping around full perimeter provides an energy tight seal.

Strong T6 Tempered Tubular Frame...will not easily bend, sag or swell like inexpensive metal, vinyl or wood doors.

Unique Mon-Ray Self-Storing Window Unit...engineered to be energy efficient, yet easy to operate. Attractive, trim-line design provides for maximum viewing and ventilating.

Spring-Loaded, Stainless Steel Pin-Locks...easy to grip and operate. Ratchet-style jamb liner provides ventilation settings every 2 inches.

Solid, Insulating Masonite Panel...effectively reinforces permanently bonded aluminum kickplate from unsightly dents.

Adhustable Sill Expander...is double weatherstripped to assure snug fit when door is closed.

About Mon-Ray Storm Doors
Mon-Ray backs its Classic Series storm door with a written, non-prorated Ten Year Warranty. While other storm door manufacturers only provide warranty coverage to the original owner, Mon-Ray warranty is fully transferable to whoever owns the residence on which the door was originally installed.

The importance of strength and durability in providing comfort and security, as well as, maintaining the original appearance is found in the Classic Door. If energy-efficiency, low-maintenance and a long-lasting, attractive appearance are important to you, then your search for the right storm door is over.

Watch as the heavy-duty closer gently pulls the Classic Door closed. while the closer works to hinder quick and damaging slamming, the sturdy check chain helps prevent dangerous full-open swinging.

Composite Windows

Wondering about the different types of materials windows are made from and which is the best for your home?

You may want to consider composite windows. Composites combine different strengths together, offer a variety of color choices, boast low maintenance and durability but can be expensive. Also, there are a limited number of companies that manufacture composite windows...

If you'd like to speak to one of The Window Man's representatives about the different types of window materials available to you or if you'd like to preview composite windows, stop by one of our three Northern Virginia showrooms.

What are U and R Values & How Do They Relate To Window Insulation?

One way that insulation is created is with dead-air space between panes of glass. That's why a double-paned window gives more insulation than a single-paned one. Other factors contribute to the insulation qualities of a window, such as the gasket, the material type, and the gas used in a gas-filled window. The U/R value tells how the product insulates. It is a formula derived from the efficiency of the product, and that formula takes into account many of the factors just mentioned. A good R measurement is a high one, while a good U measurement is low since U is the reciprocal of the R. Homeowners are more interested in the R value, while builders are interested in the U value.

For more information on a specific window model's U and R values, stop by one of The Window Man' three Northern Virginia showrooms or call us at 703-978-9888.

Series SC7650

Optimum's steel double and single hung windows have been proven to withstand temperatures in excess of 1650 degrees (900 degrees C) in laboratory tests. Even after 45 minutes of fire exposure all individual muntins, mullions, jamb members and sash components remained in position. Each window features two fusible link components made of slow melting alloy. When exposed to temperatures of 165 degrees or more, the links melt and automatically seal the window shut, which prevents the spread of smoke and fire to adjacent buildings.

Window Insulation: U & R Values

As you're looking for new or replacement windows for your DC, Virginia or Maryland home, you''ve probably run into some terms you're not familiar with, such as (U) and (R) values. U and R values relate to a window's insulation capabilities.

One way that insulation is created is with dead-air space between panes of glass. That's why a double-paned window gives more insulation than a single-paned one. Other factors contribute to the insulation qualities of a window, such as the gasket, the material type, and the gas used in a gas-filled window. The U/R value tells how the product insulates. It is a formula derived from the efficiency of the product, and that formula takes into account many of the factors just mentioned. A good R measurement is a high one, while a good U measurement is low since U is the reciprocal of the R. Homeowners are more interested in the R value, while builders are interested in the U value.

Another Happy Customer

In January 2008 The Window Man received a letter from two happy customers.

Robert and Dorothy Watts of Sterling, Virginia wrote to say that "Even though it was one of the coldest days of the year, your installers did a wonderful job on the installation. I have already recommended The Window Man to other friends. A job well done!"

No matter what time of year you'd like your replacement windows installed or how tricky the installation itself, you can rest assured that by choosing The Window Man you're making a choice for professional, quality service.
