Mikron 11300™ Sets the Standard for AW-Rated System Performance
ADVERTISEMENT The Mikron 11300™ AW-Rated commercial window system provides the highest performance standards for mid- and high-rise commercial buildings with the flexibility to combine multiple configurations and meet unique application needs. This system evolves window-wall design by providing stronger, more energy-efficient windows with a streamlined appearance, creating a superior product that meets all commercial window needs. Available in a variety of configurations and colors for both new construction and replacement projects, including tilt-n-turn, casement, awning, fixed window, in-swing and outswing door, tilt-and-slide door, multi-lite and composite units. The system is also available with a full range of standard and concealed hardware options from all major hardware suppliers. Formulated to withstand the toughest conditions, Mikron 11300™ has been real-world proven for over 30 years, standing the test of time in the harshest field test environments: hot, dry Arizona desert, Florida heat and humidity, and Midwest weather and temperature extremes.

uPVC Window System
Alpen High Performance Products offers new, slimmer profile options in its Tyrol uPVC window system. Tyrol Edge and Tyrol Contour advance the platform's design flexibility while preserving its energy efficiency, with whole-window thermal performance up to R-11 (U-0.09).
- Large-format windows with slimmer sightlines: A composite frame with continuous fiberglass reinforcement, combined with lightweight triple-pane AlpenGlass, reduces weight by 30-50% while maintaining structural rigidity for sizes up to 78.75 inches by 118 inches.
- Whole-window thermal performance up to R-11 (U-0.09): Optional quad-pane AlpenGlass IGUs boost center-of-glass R-values up to R-15 (U-0.067).
- Air infiltration as low as 0.01 CFM/square foot: Supporting both Passive House certification and draft-free indoor comfort.
- Acoustic benefits: Asymmetrical IGU construction, featuring an ultra-thin glass core, and a triple-sealed frame design dampen sound transmission up to STC 45/ OITC 37.
- Design flexibility: Two new profiles – Edge and Contour – accommodate both contemporary and classic building aesthetics, with Alpen's European-style, dual-action tilt-turn functionality in a slimmer frame.
Unlike conventional vinyl windows, Alpen's Tyrol is manufactured from uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), with a multi-chambered frame design and continuous fiberglass reinforcements. This approach eliminates the warping, cracking, and thermal performance loss seen in traditional plasticized vinyl systems.
The Tyrol system continues to serve a wide range of high-performance building applications – from code-compliant commercial buildings and affordable multi-family housing to Passive House and net zero homes – by balancing energy efficiency, structural performance, and long-life practicality backed by 10 to 20-year warranties.

pop-out window
The Gutmann S70 SK pop-out window features a parallel opening mechanism that creates an open perimeter around the frame. Fresh air enters from the bottom, while stale air exits from the top to maximize natural ventilation. Its restricted opening width of 3 ⅛ inches helps prevent accidents, making it suitable for high-level floors while maintaining a seamless façade appearance. The window offers thermal and sound insulation, as well as high water-penetration resistance and low air infiltration.
