by Ann Withanee — September 10, 2010—Mikron Industries, an innovative solutions provider to window manufacturers, announces the introduction of a new MikronWood Double Sliding window to its 1750 replacement series.
MikronWood, a revolutionary new hybrid composite window frame material, performs like no other material on the market. This hybrid blend results in a “moisture proof” window frame that is also rot and insect proof, while being highly energy efficient, says the company.
MikronWood delivers significantly better thermal performance than wood, fiberglass or hollow PVC. Unlike other materials like fiberglass, MikronWood does not require pre-drilling or mechanical joinery. It offers the ability to be milled and fabricates just like wood but is also bendable and weldable for watertight corner joinery.
The new MikronWood 1750 Double Sliding window will be available with Mikron’s SuperCapSR exterior color technology. SuperCapSR is a patent-pending technology that creates a molecularly fused color layer that becomes an integral part of the profile. The tough acrylic color layer is highly scratch-resistant and more durable during delivery and installation. It is Mikron’s most durable color finish option.
Accelerated lab and real world weathering testing results give Mikron confidence to back these profiles with a 20-year warranty for dimensional performance, meeting or exceeding applicable AAMA standards.
