New Gorell Armor Max Plus Hurricane Windows Provide Maximum Protection, Beauty, Thermal Performance and More

INDIANA, PA, February 1, 2007--Gorell Windows & Doors has introduced a completely new line of vinyl hurricane windows--Armor Max Plus™ products--that protects homeowners and their homes from airborne debris during hurricane-strength storms and other forms of violent weather. Every window model in the new series--including a double-hung with tilt-in sash, two- and three-lite lift-out sliders and a picture window--is designed to pass ASTM Large Missile Impact Level "D" testing, which allows them to be installed anywhere needing hurricane protection, right up to the coastline. A significant element of this product program is Gorell's ability to provide consistent two-week delivery on its hurricane products year round.

Beauty isn't sacrificed for storm protection.

Gorell Armor Max Plus Windows provide "continuous" hurricane protection. Unlike storm shutters, they require no work or preparation as violent weather approaches. They only need to be closed and locked. Unlike hurricane shutters or plywood, they also allow natural daylight in, making it easier and safer for homeowners to live normally during power outages.

Gorell is able to provide consistent two-week delivery on it Armor Max Plus products year round. This facilitates a faster installation process, an important consideration for homeowners who decide to replace windows during the peak hurricane season. All-new Armor Max Plus Windows provide numerous additional benefits, such as cost-saving energy efficiency, protection against intrusion and noise reduction.

Every Armor Max Plus product incorporates three panes of glass, two of which sandwich a nearly impenetrable PVB interlayer. The glass is deeply embedded into the sash, significantly increasing the windows' structural integrity. Rigid tubular master frames--with 13 separate insulating chambers and heavy-duty double-cam sweep locks--provide tremendous strength and durability. Armor Max Plus Windows also include Gorell's SolarControl™ Plus Low-E coating and argon gas fill for exceptional thermal performance that yields energy cost savings.

With Armor Max Plus Windows, beauty isn't sacrificed for storm protection, security, and energy efficiency and sound deadening. Made of exceptionally smooth premium-grade soft-white vinyl, these windows feature a distinctive profile accentuated by dual millwork lines. Homeowners can further "customize" them by selecting from a number of design options.

Gorell, the national winner of the 2004, 2005 and 2006 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Awards and the 2006 "Sustained Excellence" Award winner, manufactures premium windows for replacement and new-construction applications, patio doors, aluminum storm windows and doors, and a complete line of sunrooms and conservatories.
