LEESBURG, Va. -- REHAU announces the availability of its System 1400 PVC casement window. The System 1400 window casement design recently achieved a C-C75 commercial rating, making it suitable for both residential and commercial applications. "Beyond its exceptional performance, the System 1400 window design offers appealing flexibility across many applications--residential, commercial and otherwise--in both new construction and retrofit projects," said Brian Guyer, business team manager for REHAU's window and door group. "Features including a contoured millwork appearance and a triple-glazing option for maximum thermal performance add to the reasons for this window design's expanding popularity in the North American market."

The ability of the window design's casement sash to accommodate a variety of insulated glass sizes notably enhances the sound abatement properties required for an STC 40 rating. In addition, its DP-75 and C-C75 rated durability affords use in commercial applications without requiring profile reinforcement (up to a 36-inch by 60-inch size [914.4mm x 1524.0mm],) offering both material and labor cost savings.
"This achievement well illustrates REHAU's commitment to developing advanced and superior performing products to meet the needs of the construction industry," said Guyer. "The ability to reach DP-75 without reinforcement could easily make the difference between winning or losing a large project."
