Long wave energy is the heat inside your home, which comes from the sun, the homes heating system, and people. It is absorbed by such objects as carpeting, furniture and fireplaces. However, the heat is not held. Instead the heat is re-radiated at lower temperatures in the long wave infrared energy rays. Short wave energy is created during the daytime. The sun's energy, both visible and infrared travels through your windows and is absorbed. The energy is then re-radiated by the objects in the room as long wave infrared rays that try to escape back through your windows. This is where the Accu-Glaze Z Glass has its primary advantage since it specializes on reflecting long wave heat energy back into your home in the winter months. In the summer months Z Glass aggressively reduces solar heat gain allowing less heat to penetrate your windows. Because of the suns angles in the summer months, most generated heat is re-radiated from driveways, sidewalks, rooftops, etc. This unwanted summer heat is reflected outside your home allowing lower air conditioning needs. The fact is that Accu-Glaze Glass is engineered to tell the difference between the energy wave lengths. In the winter, light and heat from the sun is transmitted. Once that energy enters your home, Z Glass keeps it there, while at the same time keeping internally generated heat from escaping.</font> <p><font color="#000000">Why should I specify windows with Accu-Glaze Z Glass? Because Accu-Glaze Glass works to minimize the transmission of heat, it works on any orientation (North, South, East and West). No matter where the windows are, or where the home is, windows will always perform better and keep people more comfortable when Accu-Glaze Glass is specified instead of clear glass. The perfect energy solution for any residential or commercial glass application. Accu-Glaze Z Glass is a new innovation in sputtered Low-E coatings. The solar properties of this second generation Z Glass have been optimized to maximize year round performance, Accu-Glaze Glass, has an improved shading coefficient that when compared to other traditional Low-E coatings, is one of the best in the industry. Replacement Doors are Designed and Constructed to Provide the Best Values for Energy Saving & Home Security click here to see a full size image Decor Doors are available in 22 beautiful colors and 4 woodgrain finishes. Moulding color can mix or match door color.</font> <p><font color="#000000">Decor Doors are designed with a true thermal break for maximum comfort and energy savings. It is the only replacement door with a unique, exclusive vinyl edge that utilizes no exposed wood that can warp or rot. Another exclusive feature is the 1 3/8" x 7/8 " aluminum baked on enamel back-stop with a peeling strip that makes for a better installation, Another plus for Decor Doors is the baked on primer and Electro-statically sprayed polyurethane finish for long life and first-class appearance. Decor Doors bring you more than energy savings and beauty, too. Police statistics show that more than 50% of all burglaries are committed by people who enter through the front door! Secure, steel frame Decor Doors are your best assurance that this will not be the case in your home. Our burglar resistant design Incorporates an invisible steel frame, special anti-pry hinges and heavy duty locks with h a steel bolt that engages a full I" into the frame to keep you and your family safe. Welcome your world warmly and safely With Decor Doors. For More Security Safety and security are what Decor Doors are all about. Since police records show that the majority of home break-ins take place through a door. Decor Doors are built with extra strong, extra thick steel that can take what no wooden door can Plus, Decor Doors include an invisible steel frame that actually reinforces your doorway's wood frame. These design features are combined with tamper-proof security hinges and heavy duty locks to make your home a safe and secure one.</font> <p><font color="#000000"> Decor Doors are designed to help make another part of your life secure, too: your budget. To keep energy costs under control, every Decor Door utilizes energy stingy triple insulation. First, every Decor Door Includes a vinyl thermal break that completely isolates the outside of the door from the Inside of the door. Since metal never touches metal, the inside of every Decor Door stays close to room temperature, no matter what the outside temperature. Second, every Decor Door surrounds a thick polyurethane Insulating core that is 3 to 5 times better at stopping heat and cold than a solid wooden door used with a storm door. Finally, every Decor Door includes a magnetic sealing weatherstrip like those found on fine quality refrigerators and freezers. This weatherstrlp acts as yet another barrier to air Infiltration. Together, these features make your home more economical. And more comfortable. For Less Maintenance No matter how well made, a wooden door will eventually crack, warp, swell or shrink. Why? Because the moisture and temperature shifts that are part of every day silently change that door every day. These changes mean a never-ending routine of repainting, adjusting and weatherstripping to try to correct the improper fit, binding and drafts that you can expect with a wooden door. But with a Decor Door, all you can expect Is years of trouble-free service.</font> <p><font color="#000000">Decor Doors are built not to warp, shrink, crack or swell. Ask about our written warpage warranty. What's more, our painting surfaces will give you years of beauty due to the high quality baked on enamel finish. Replacing the windows in your home is a big decision. There are as many different windows as there are manufacturers to choose from. At Accu-Weld we understand your concerns and are committed to giving you all the vital information you will need to make your decision easy. Accu-Weld's private label window collections are distributed by some of the countries leading window suppliers. Accu-Weld not only manufactures the window, but also extrudes the vinyl used in the manufacturing process. The finish on our vinyl is permanent, the color is clear through and can not be scratched off. The use of Virgin Vinyl creates a product that resists acid damage, oxidation, moisture penetration, and a window that will resist expansion and contraction due to humidity and temperature changes. Although many homes appear to be the same, no two home are exactly alike. The reasons for selection your windows can be as unique as the home and it's environment. Climate, style, use, color, options, and even price are important considerations that can affect your choice of which Accu-Weld window best suits your needs.</font> <p><font color="#000000">AE3 High Performance, Triple Glazed & Foam Filled DH2000 SERIES - Fully Welded DH3000 Series - Welded Sash Frame DH3010 Series - Welded Sash Frame 200 Series - Solid Double Hung w/Removable Nailing Fins Mach I - Series 601 High Performance Window System Formula - Series 501 High Performance Window System RigidCore - Poly Foam Filled Replacement Window</font> <p><font color="#000000">The Amazing Climatrol Premium New Construction Vinyl Window</font> <p><font color="#000000">The quality and detail of our ACCURA Series Vinyl Windows combines the style with the craftsmanship necessary to benefit the needs of building professionals as well as their customers.

AND ARCH ALUMINUM & GLASS CO., INC. MERGE WITH ACCU-WELD, THE DELAIR GROUP AND ULTRA HARDWARE</font> <p><font color="#000000">Merger to Bolster Financial Strength, Increase Efficiencies of Complementary Companies DELAIR, N.J. - January 17, 1996 - As Aluminum Shapes, Inc. one of the leading names in the aluminum extrusion industry, and Arch Aluminum & Glass Co., Inc., the Florida-based glass and aluminum fabricator and distributor, conclude their announced merger, the newly combined enterprise is merging with three additional companies in synergistic lines of business, The consolidated company will boast projected sales approaching $400 million in 1996 and approximately 2,200 employees. Producing abundant cross-marketing opportunities, economies of scale, and centralized operations, management and financial functions for each line of business, the new entity will incorporate the following companies: Accu-Weld, Inc., a $20 million manufacturer or vinyl windows and steel doors; The Delair Group Inc., the $35 million manufacturer of Esther Williams Swimming Pools, Johnny Weissmuller Swimming Pools and Delgard Aluminum Fence; and Ultra Hardware Products, Inc., a $20 million hardware manufacturer and distributor. Aluminum Shapes, Arch Aluminum & Glass Co., Accu-Weld, The Delair Group and Ultra Hardware Products, each of which will maintain their current executive management, will be organized under a separate parent company for which Stephen Kendall, current president and CEO of Aluminum Shapes, will act as chairman (name of the parent company to be announced in the next several weeks). Kendall emphasized that no layoffs will result from the completed merger and anticipates, in fact, that a growth in job opportunities will result. "The strong name recognition, international distribution, and retailer and customer relationships of each individual company will foster the sustained, but controlled, growth of the others," observed Kendall. "Significantly, each line of business will not need to worry about how to finance its own growth sharing not only the resources of the parent and sister companies, but a common commitment to customer service as well." Recognized recently by Door and Window Fabricator magazine as one of the top 15 vinyl window and door manufacturers, Accu-Weld employs approximately250 people at its 125,000 sq. foot facility in Bensalem, Pa. Craig Seller, president and CEO of Accu-Weld, confirms that the company is very pleased with the Bensalem site and is under contract to close on the purchase of the facility during the first half of 1996.</font> <p><font color="#000000">Accu-Weld has experienced steady growth in sales and profitability over the last several years, including periods when the economy as a whole fared poorly and Accu-Weld's competitors suffered. </font><font color="#000000">Kendall offered, "We have tremendous confidence that Craig's leadership and hands on expertise will enable Accu-Weld to optimize the benefits of this merger. At the same time, he will ensure that the company maintains its preeminent position in the industry and unsurpassed level of customer service." "Accu-Weld has been able to control product costs and offer top-quality products by consolidating operations at its single facility in Bensalem and by vertically integrating," observed Seller. "For example, we design and manufacture our own extrusion dyes, extrude our own vinyl and distribute throughout the U.S. with our own fleet of trucks." Seller added, "Accu-Weld will benefit tremendously from Arch Aluminum & Glass' expertise in glass, and both Arch and Accu-Weld will provide new distribution channels for one another." The Delair Group has been manufacturing and distributing swimming pools since 1962, and aluminum fence since 1992, "The Delair Group brings to the table strong name recognition in the swimming pool industry, international distribution, and an aluminum fence business that has grown 10-fold since its inception," commented Kendall. "We are especially excited about Delair's growth in the aluminum fence business because the fence is made primarily of aluminum extrusions a tremendous opportunity for Aluminum Shapes."</font> <p><font color="#000000">Ultra Hardware Products was founded in 1986, primarily as a manufacturer and distributor of hardware products to small hardware retailers throughout the U.S. The company has expanded its market recently to include large retailers and original equipment manufacturers (OEM's). "Because of Ultra Hardware's expansion into the OEM arena, we see great cross-marketing potential with our other companies," said Kendall. "Ultra Hardware will also be able to source hardware and certain component parts used by all of our lines of business in their manufacturing processes." Consistent with the profile of present and future growth for the newly merged company, Aluminum Shapes is building a 75,000 sq.-ft. expansion to its Delair facility to accommodate its new, state-of-the-art, 6,500-mteric ton extrusion press. The new press is expected to increase extrusion capacity by 30-40 %. The press will be operational by April of 1996. Arch Aluminum & Glass Co. was founded in 1977 as a distributor for the Florida construction trade. Now operating in 12 facilities in seven states (Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, New Jersey and Tennessee) with approximately 700 employees, the $85 million company has six glass tempering plants, two laminated glass lines, seven insulated g)ass lines and two of the newest and most technologically advanced mirror manufacturing plants in the country. As a result of its merger with Aluminum Shapes, Arch became one of the largest architectural aluminum and glass fabricators and distributors in the U.S. Since its founding as a small storm window manufacturer in 1954, Aluminum Shapes has grown to be one of the largest privately-held aluminum extruders in the U.S. The $200 million-plus company, occupying a 1.5 million-sq.-ft facility in Delair, N.J., provides extrusions, fabrication and finishing for a broad range of applications, including trailer bodies; rail cars; swimming pools; windows and doors; and a variety of component parts for the automotive, electronic distribution, robotics and defense industries. The company generated national attention when it was chosen to supply the aluminum scaffolding for the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. More recently, Aluminum Shapes extrusions were used in the construction of the atrium in the Holocaust Museum, in Washington, D.C. PPG </font> <p><font color="#000000">LICENSES WINDOW MANUFACTURERS TO USE INTERCEPT INSULATING GLASS TECHNOLOGY PITTSBURGH, July 17 -- PPG Industries has announced the addition of five window manufacturers as licensees of its proprietary, patented technology for producing energy-efficient "warm edge" Intercept insulating glass units. Licensed to use PPG's Intercept insulating glass unit technology are Accu-Weld LLC, Bensalem, Pa.; Acorn Window Systems, Quincy, Mich.; Jones Paint & Glass, Provo, Utah; Northeast Aluminum Windows, Philadelphia, and SuperSeal Industries, South Plainfield, N.J. PPG now has 47 North American licensees of its technology for producing Intercept insulating glass units for windows and doors. Intercept insulating glass units have a U-shaped thin-metal spacer between the two glass panes that results in better energy performance than standard insulating units, especially around the perimeter, giving them a "warmer edge." Glass Equipment Development (GED) of Twinsburg, Ohio, is supplying the necessary manufacturing equipment for producing the unique spacers. GED is North America's largest manufacturer of insulating glass equipment and PPG's business partner for Intercept insulating glass unit technology. PPG and GED commercialized the technology in 1992. PPG is a global producer of glass, coatings, chemicals and fiber glass.</font> <p><font color="#000000">Telephone: 215-245-6050</font> <p><font color="#000000"> Fax: 215-245-5572 </font> <p><font color="#000000">Postal address: 1211 Ford Road Bensalem, PA 19020 </font> <p><font color="#000000">Electronic mail: </font> <p><font color="#000000">General Information: info@accu-weld.com </font> <p><font color="#000000">Sales: sales@accu-weld.com</font> <p><font color="#000000"> Customer Support: service@accu-weld.com </font> <p><font color="#000000">Webmaster: webmaster@accu-weld.com </font> <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-1697564-1"; urchinTracker(); </script>  <script src="http://30320.hittail.com/mlt.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  </body>
