Frame Options
The Green Mountain Window product line offers a selection of frame options designed to complement various architectural styles and homeowner preferences. These frames are engineered for both durability and aesthetic appeal, ensuring a long-lasting and beautiful addition to any home. Green Mountain Window provides a choice between two primary frame materials: * Vinyl Frames: * Known for their low maintenance requirements and excellent insulation properties. * Vinyl frames are resistant to rot, corrosion, and fading, making them a durable and cost-effective option. * They are available in a range of colors to match exterior and interior design schemes. * The multi-chambered design of the vinyl profiles contributes to enhanced thermal performance, helping to reduce energy costs. * Wood Frames: * Offering a classic and warm aesthetic, wood frames provide a natural beauty that can be stained or painted to perfectly match any home's décor. * These frames are often chosen for their traditional appeal and ability to be customized. * Green Mountain Window utilizes high-quality wood species selected for their strength and stability. * For added protection against the elements, wood frames can be specified with exterior aluminum cladding, which significantly enhances durability and reduces maintenance needs. This cladding is typically available in a selection of standard colors. In addition to material choices, Green Mountain Window's frames are designed with features that contribute to their overall performance and longevity. These include robust construction for structural integrity and advanced weather-sealing technologies to prevent drafts and water infiltration. The specific configurations and available options for frame styles will vary depending on the type of door selected within the Green Mountain Window exterior door collection, such as French sliding doors or patio-sliding doors.Glass Options
Green Mountain Window offers a range of glass options designed to enhance both the aesthetics and performance of their exterior doors. These options focus on providing clarity, energy efficiency, and durability.
Standard features often include double-pane insulated glass units, which are a cornerstone of energy-efficient window and door construction. These units consist of two panes of glass separated by a spacer, creating an insulating gas-filled space that significantly reduces heat transfer. This helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round and can contribute to lower energy bills.
For improved thermal performance, Green Mountain Window doors are equipped with Low-E (Low-Emissivity) coatings. Low-E coatings are microscopically thin, transparent layers applied to the glass surface. These coatings are designed to reflect infrared light (heat), keeping heat inside during colder months and outside during warmer months. This technology is crucial for maximizing energy savings and comfort.
To further enhance insulation and prevent condensation, the space between the glass panes is typically filled with an inert gas, such as Argon or Krypton. These gases are denser than air and provide a better thermal barrier, further reducing heat transfer and improving the overall R-value of the glass unit.
In terms of safety and durability, tempered glass is often an available option. Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that has been treated with heat or chemicals to increase its strength compared with normal glass. When broken, it shatters into small, relatively harmless granular chunks rather than shards. This makes it a suitable choice for areas where safety is a concern.
Laminated glass is another option that provides enhanced security and sound dampening. It consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with an interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). If the glass breaks, the interlayer holds the fragments together, preventing them from scattering and making it more difficult to penetrate. This also helps in reducing noise transmission.
Decorative glass options may also be available, offering a unique aesthetic appeal. These can include:
- Frosted Glass: Provides privacy while allowing light to pass through, often used in specific design applications.
- Textured or Patterned Glass: Offers decorative visual effects and can obscure visibility to varying degrees.
The specific combination of glass types, Low-E coatings, gas fills, and spacer materials can be configured to meet various energy performance ratings and aesthetic preferences, ensuring that Green Mountain Window doors are both functional and visually appealing.
Hardware
Green Mountain Window offers a selection of hardware designed to complement their range of exterior doors. The hardware options are crafted to provide both aesthetic appeal and reliable functionality for a variety of door styles, including patio-side hinged/French doors, patio-sliding doors, entry doors, and swing doors.
Handle Sets
The handle sets are available in several designs to suit different door types and preferences:
- Multi-Point Lock Systems: For enhanced security and draft resistance, especially on French and patio doors, multi-point locking mechanisms are integrated.
- Standard Handles: For entry and sliding doors, traditional and contemporary handle designs are offered.
Finishes

- Polished Chrome: Delivers a sleek and modern appearance.
- Oil-Rubbed Bronze: Creates a rich, dark, and antique feel.

Accessories
