by AF 1104 F3 — November 9, 2009—YKK AP America, a leader in manufacturing quality architectural products, announces expansion of its enerGfacade product line with the launch of the most energy-efficient aluminum window in its AW class, the YOW 350 XT.
Designed to ensure high performance and operation, the architectural grade window offers thermal resistant properties and barriers to minimize energy loss, making it up to 30 percent more efficient than standard, thermally broken windows. By adding high-performance glazing, this new window achieves historically low u-values, resulting, in a new era of energy-efficiency for commercial aluminum window systems, says YKK AP.
The YOW 350 XT utilizes YKK AP`s MegaTherm technology, collected of low conductive polyamide strips, which separate exterior metal from interior metal, providing a continuous thermal barrier to reduce condensation and conserve energy.
In addition to thermal resistant properties, the YOW 350 XT also provides balanced sight lines to optimize day lighting. Tested in accordance with the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) 101 Standard/ Specification for windows, doors and unit skylights, the YOW 350 XT meets the toughest requirements of the commercial market and has achieved the AW classification.
