New WIndow Glazing Packages


CAT often recommends Harvey Building Products for our clients vinyl replacement window needs.

We like Harvey windows because they are a local family owned company (just like CAT - employing local workers), with a long reputation (they are currently celebrating 50 years in manufacturing).

In addition to that the quality of the product level is high – we have few callbacks on defective products. The units don’t use the “spiral-style” balances but rather block and tackle balances which never need adjustment and easy operation with the tilt in sashes.

According to Harvey’s website they have some new Glazing Packages for 2011. Here’s what they have to say.

Base Package
This package is always the least expensive version of a particular product. In most cases, it is simply made up of clear insulated glass. This glazing package does not qualify for ENERGY STAR. This will be the appropriate choice for customers who want the most inexpensive configuration.


ENERGY STAR Package
This package includes everything that is needed for a product to meet ENERGY STAR requirements. Glazing, gas, glass thickness, etc. will vary by window and usually includes Low-E coating and Argon gas. This glazing package does qualify for ENERGY STAR. This will be the appropriate choice for customers who want an ENERGY STAR qualified product.


High Performance Package
This package is available on our premium Tribute windows as well as select accessory windows with Tribute glazing. It incorporates triple glazing and Krypton gas for maximum energy efficiency. This glazing package exceeds ENERGY STAR requirements. This will be the appropriate choice for customers who want a product with superior performance.

In addition, a la carte options are still available for those who want specific types of glazing.
