ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ply
Gem® (NYSE: PGEM), a leading manufacturer of building
products, is introducing its broadest selection of multi-panel and
multi-slide patio doors to achieve dramatic openings that
seamlessly transition between the indoors and outdoors. On display
for the first time at the 2018 International Builders' Show in
booth W2501, new Ply Gem MaxView, EuroSeries, and 4880 Series doors
push the boundaries of affordable luxury and advanced fenestration
performance with bigger, stronger and more flexible glass walls.
Backed by an industry leading warranty, these expansive opening
solutions give architects, builders and remodelers a major
competitive edge.
According to the 2017 U.S. Houzz Landscape Trends Study, 85
percent of homeowners who completed an outdoor renovation project
opted for a major home remodel or a complete overhaul, meaning
basic patio doors will no longer make the cut. As a leading North
American window and door manufacturer, Ply Gem is expanding its
patio door offering with extravagant new solutions that meet the
critical design, function, and performance features customers value
most at an unexpected price.
"With multiple configurations and material choices, our
assortment addresses challenges with the most sought-after
solutions for builders, architects, remodelers and homeowners
on budgets within reach," said Mark
Montgomery, vice president, marketing, Ply Gem Windows. "Ply
Gem is applying its 75 years of manufacturing and R&D
experience to lead the market with these bold new designs and
energy efficient solutions. I am confident our customers will be
wowed by this new generation of Ply Gem patio doors for their
incredible size and beauty, exceptional operational capabilities,
and ease of installation."
Ply Gem EuroSeries Patio Door
The new vinyl
EuroSeries Patio Door is named for Ply Gem's profound dedication to
best-in-class engineering, enhanced performance, and contemporary
design. This glamorous multi-slide patio door is designed with a
robust 8-foot by 9-foot door panel for luxurious panoramic views.
Even with its vast strength and size, with just the touch of a
finger, the door seamlessly opens between indoors and outdoors
thanks to a lift and slide gliding system.
The Ply Gem EuroSeries is one of the strongest patio doors on
the market, meeting impact protection requirements set forth by the
Florida Building Code—including Miami-Dade County—giving homeowners
peace of mind knowing their home is always protected against Mother
Nature. The door's large construction depth and engineered design
also promotes superior thermal performance and weather protection
with an outstanding heat transfer coefficient (average U-value of
1.3) and three sealing levels. Glass packages with sound
transmission class (STC) ratings help reduce outdoor noise levels
for added interior comfort.
For the ultimate in design flexibility, the vinyl door frame
with color retention technology can be customized with low
maintenance two-tone indoor and outdoor colors—that will not fade
over time—available in white or woodgrain interior colors combined
with white, grey or bronze exterior colors.
Ply Gem MaxView Patio Door
Commanding attention for
picturesque panoramic views and blurring the lines between interior
and outdoor living spaces, the Ply Gem MaxView patio door—available
with an upgraded automated opening feature—delivers modern
sophistication in high-end new construction and remodeling
applications.
The large aluminum three-panel, multi-slide door system covers
an impressive 20-feet in width and 10-feet in height. A
sophisticated minimalist frame design maximizes the glass viewing
area, with vertical stiles of just 19mm (3/4") wide. With MaxView,
homeowners and builders do not have to compromise glass aesthetics
for performance, as the patio door delivers exceptional energy
efficiency through high-performance glazing packages and thermally
insulated aluminum construction on the frame and panels.
Available in virtually unlimited design color options—featuring
an electrostatically coated or designer anodized finish—the Ply Gem
MaxView door is the perfect complement to 46 exterior window color
options available on Ply Gem's MIRA Woodclad Collection.
Ply Gem 4880 Series Patio Door
Already favorably
regarded by builders, the Ply Gem 4880 Patio Door is synonymous
with superior thermal and impact performance, plus an efficient
automated opening feature. Ideal for high-end residential and light
commercial projects, this stunningly practical door is available in
two-, three- and four-panel sliding and pocket configurations, with
thermally insulated construction and high-performance glazing
packages. The sliding, multi-panel openings up to 8-feet high by
16-feet wide enhance the transitional living experience, while the
pocket style allows the door to fully recess into the wall for
complete unrestricted access between the indoors and outdoors.
Available with a high performance solar cooling glass package,
the 4880 patio door meets new Florida Energy Conservation codes and
helps meet requirements of whole-home efficiency programs such as
California's Title 24. The door is
also ASTM impact-rated and meets most windborne debris protection
codes for resistance against severe weather and high winds,
especially in coastal regions of the
United States.
Both the Ply Gem MaxView and 4880 patio doors can be upgraded
with an automated operating system, which allows users to control
it from anywhere, anytime for added convenience—either by an
included remote control or with the DreamView app for iOS devices
and smart phones. Connected to its own 900 MHz wireless network,
the operating system syncs with a homeowner or building tenant's
Wi-Fi connection, and links to existing wired home automation
systems for complete integration.
The new Ply Gem patio doors will be available in 2018 through
select distribution locations. For more information on Ply Gem
