Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of the Series 1325 3 1/4” Architectural Grade Tilt Turn
Window by EFCO Corporation. This window system is designed for high performance, ventilation, and easy cleaning, with a focus on energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
Specifications: The window frame is constructed from 6063-T6 aluminum alloy with a depth of 3 1/4" and a nominal wall thickness of .080". The frame components are miter cut, reinforced, crimped, and cold welded with epoxy adhesive. The vent frame is similarly constructed and sealed for durability.
Thermal and Weather Performance: The window features a thermal barrier with glass-reinforced polyamide nylon struts, enhancing thermal performance and energy savings. Dual weather stripping with Santoprene® gaskets and pressure equalization techniques ensure superior water resistance.
Hardware and Security: The window includes multi-point locking hardware, a limit stay arm with friction, and a hardware mishandling device. Security mechanisms are available on handles without locks, and the hardware prevents operation from the exterior.
Glazing Options: The windows are structurally glazed with silicone and can be reglazed from the interior. Various glazing options are available, including insulated and low emissivity glass.
Performance Ratings: The Series 1325 retains an AAMA Architectural Grade rating (DA-AW55 and DA-AW135) with air infiltration of <.10 cfm/sf at 6.24 psf, no water leakage at 15.0 psf, and structural performance of ±82.5 psf and ±202.5 psf. U-Values are .49E and .46E, indicating good thermal insulation.
Additional Features: The window system offers anodized and painted finishes, customizable hardware operation, and a smaller sightline for improved aesthetics. It is field adjustable for height and sash closing pressure, and the dual action can be reversed.
