  • Publication number: 20180038144
    Abstract: A window system for manufacturing fixed windows using only two main extrusions, a main frame, and sash frame; and for manufacturing vertical and horizontal sliding windows using only three main extrusions, a main frame, a sash frame, and an interlock. This overcomes the disadvantages of existing window assemblies that currently need multiple extrusions, and results in reduced retooling costs, permitting manufacture of window systems using newer, more energy efficient materials including silicon-based materials.
