N N O VAT I O N . I T H A P P E N S CONSISTENTLY AT DECEUNINCK.

We are the global leader in innovative, ground-breaking technology development with more than 150 U.S. patents registered to our name.

Deceuninck material science has set the worldwide standard as an industry-leading intellectual property powerhouse for uPVC development.

Our innovative chemistries and improved polymers andadditives have helped transform PVC into one of themost widely used, energy efficient substrates in thebuilding industry, and the ideal low-cost, high-returnmaterial for commercial window construction.

Through our engineered solutions and decades ofproven experience, architects have come to rely onDeceuninck for a steady stream of new productsthat allow plans to grow and windows to standup to harsh climates, commercial building codes and tough customer demands. And theresult is measured in buildings that stand thetest of time.

RAMATIC DESIGN.

It lives at Deceuninck.

Size, shape, color, finish, performance rating. Every element of good architectural window design is incorporated

into the great flexibility of the Deceuninck portfolio and supports it in new thinking in commercial development.

Today, the role of the window is changing and adapting to a reawakened awareness of health, productivity, well-being and

energy-consciousness. Deceuninck allows architects to see with new eyes how PVC versatility and reliability – long-established in the

marketplace – are essential ingredients for more market-responsivedesigns in a new generation of light commercial buildings.

Natural light, ventilation, ease of operation, and the innate energy efficiency of Deceuninck’s designs combine to create a new sense of

excitement and inspiring alternatives to tired, predictable solutions.

Inventive use of finish options like advanced laminations, color compounding, hardware innovations and glazing packages further

expand the options and customization power for completing a building envelope with ingenuity, harmony and grace.

Deceuninck windows release imagination on the framework of a reputation for design excellence, installed

in over 75 nations worldwide.

sUSTAINABILITY. A living value at Deceuninck.

Deceuninck creates products using materials with one of thesmallest ecological footprints in the window industry – long

lasting, low maintenance building products with top insulating properties, high energy efficiency ratings and low lifecycle costs.

We support zero net energy goals.

We’re committed to sustainability in everything we do: Our designs. Our processes. Our engineering. Our innovations. It’s a closed-loop approach,

carefully dictating how we source recycled materials, how we design and manufacture products, and how those products are shipped, delivered and even recycled at the end of their long lifetimes. And we are proud to maintain a leanmanufacturing approach to help drive toward zero-waste goals throughout our North American operation.

Our world class recycling facility in Europe is a model for the industry, fully processing glass and PVC with remarkable results. And in the U.S., our

GreenCircle Certification through our JPI partnership adds the benefits of the largest national uPVC recycler to our sustainable model.

Deceuninck windows not only increase energy efficiency and therebyreduce the carbon footprint for buildings, they can help

contribute to LEED points for a building’s design. Improvedventilation, the use of pre-consumer recycled

material, and heat blocking low-e glass makea Deceuninck window decision

LEED-friendly.

HIGH PERFORMANCE.

It’s a material fact

at Deceuninck.

Deceuninck’s architectural uPVCis an advanced infrastructure plastic

with a performance profile that deliversexceptional energy efficiency and low cost of

ownership while exceeding material standards for strength and color retention established by the

American Architectural Manufacturers’ Association (AAMA).

Architectural uPVC is ideal for light commercial and multi-family residential construction:

• Exceptional Durability: uPVC will not rot or corrode likeother window substrates and withstands harsh effects ofweather and ultraviolet light.

• Low Maintenance: uPVC does not require painting, frequent cleaning or harsh chemicals to maintain like other window substrates.

• Impact Resistance: uPVC is more impact resistantthan the industry standard.

• Commercial Fire Rating: uPVC has excellent properties in terms of high ignition point andflame spreading.

• Sustainable Manufacturing: Research hasshown that uPVC windows require up to 1/3 less energy to produce than aluminumwindows.

• Energy Efficiency: uPVC has greater thermal resistance than wood or aluminum materials.

• Responsible Lifecycle Choice: uPVCproducts last for decades, then can berecycled into new products, creating acradle-to-cradle lifecycle.

Explore Deceuninck uPVC materials. It will redefine the way you think, feel and design with windows for ahigh-performance future.

Genius™ is the commercial window inspired by the push and pull forces ofnature and the ingenious idea that two is better than one.

• Next-generation window performance.

• Simple design. Exceptional comfort.

• An unprecedented thermal capability of R-14 and above.

Deceuninck’s new Genius™ Window System changes the conversation forultra-performance commercial windowsin terms of energy efficiency, structuralperformance, and sustainability.

The Genius System incorporates patent-pending technology featuring aninnovative, interlinked dual sash design.The two insulated sashes allow Genius toachieve thermal resistance ratings of R-14and above without the use of expensivespecialty insulated glass configurations,making Genius one of the most energy-efficient windows in the market today.

Genius cleverly integrates a screen and mini-blind system into the weather-protected space between thetwo sash panels. It gets even smarter by employing an integrated system thatvents solar-heated air into the building in the winter and to the outside in thesummer.

Performance features found on GeniusProducts include:

• Thermal performance that exceedsR-14 and above

• Extreme structural load resistance

• Exceptional sound transmission reduction

• Excellent resistance to water and air infiltration

• Ease of operation with single-handoperation for both sashes

The superior performance of Genius is rivaled only by its smart styling. The simple beauty and the easy functionalityof the interlinked dual sash design areavailable in various configurations including casement, awning-hopper and picture window.

Revolution™ is the bold, modern take on a classic European pedigree, ideallysuited for commercial applications where extreme performance is not just a specification but an expectation.

Revolution starts with a time-tested European tilt and turn concept and infuses it with the best in North Americanperformance engineering for a stunningchoice for light commercial design.

And performance is the word.

• Seven thermal chambers in frameand sash

• Thermal performance ratings of R-5,R-7, and beyond

• Certified to AAMA C-100 rating. Revolution surpasses the structuralwindload requirement for this ratingup to a design pressure of 170 PSF

• IG capability of up to 1 5/8" (40mm)

Tilt it in. The top of the sash tilts in for secure, indirect ventilation. No rain. Nowind gusts. And no unwanted nature,thanks to the integral screen feature. Revolution is the first tilt and turn window system with an insect screen system incorporated into the design.

Swing it open. The entire sash opens inward for a classic European look andfeel. With full access to both sides of theglass, cleaning is a breeze, and offers easyegress in emergencies.

Lock it shut. The sash locks with a singlemovement of the handle. The RevolutionTilt and Turn system incorporates the latest developments and performanceenhancements of the European hardwarefeatures including the full perimetermulti-point locking system resulting in an incredibly secure and structurallysound window.

Dramatic design takes a turn.

Revolution is an architect’s dream. Form and function are integrally balanced to create a triumph of high-tech engineering. Using computer modelingto optimize structural integrity, thermalperformance, and functional durability,the result is a leap in patent-pending design technology.

• Low-profile styling for minimum bulkiness and maximum daylight

• A broad range of architectural colors,woodgrain patterns, and metallic finishes

• Compatibility with available swingand sliding door systems

The ICON™ Series sets the new, high-performance,high-efficiency standard for light commercial and multi-family residential window and door construction.
