Absorbs 50 per cent less water

Absorbs 50 per cent less water

www.aribell.ca
New AB-Q-LW683 Low Wick weatherstrip from Aribell has two significant improvements. The thicker profile generates more contact with the door for a tighter seal, and the Low Wick foam ensures better performance. AB-Q-LW683 replaces the previous PE650 weatherstrip, and seals better. The new design almost eliminates air and water infiltration, even when subjected to high air pressure. The Low Wick foam formulation uses a combination of closed-cell and open-cell structure to absorb 50 per cent less water.  As moisture wicks into foam, its travel and subsequent volume is limited once it contacts the closed cells. This is especially important in cold Canadian climates where the weatherstripping can freeze when saturated.

High performance hinge

New energy specifications and requirements for increased window performance have necessitated sashes that contain triple-pane and/or laminated glass.  This combined with the move towards larger windows has pushed the envelope on what standard-duty concealed casement hinges can handle. Truth Hardware has responded to this issue with our new High Performance Hinge which produces impressive performance and weight-carrying capabilities and allows window manufacturers to meet these demanding new requirements. The new hinge is capable of supporting a 140-pound sash which allows manufacturers to use triple-pane and laminated glass packages in larger windows. This is made possible by the innovative patented shoe design with a built-in roller to reduce friction during operation, providing smoother travel even under maximum load.
