More Energy-Efficient than ever, thanks to Accent Windows and Doors that offer you savings from the start!
Accent windows will reduce your energy consumption during the many years you use them in your home. Studies show that using vinyl window frames saves the United States nearly 2 trillion BTUs of energy each year—enough to supply a year’s electricity to 20,000 single-family homes.
Compared to many alternatives, vinyl requires less energy to convert raw materials into finished products. A Franklin associates lifecycle study found that manufacturing vinyl windows requires three times less energy than is used to produce aluminum.
Multichamber Design (Accent Signature and Legacy Series)
Accent Signature and Legacy series windows are among the most energy-efficient on the market, thanks to their exceptional insulation attributes. Our multichamber design reduces thermal exchange and, with more enclosed air space than other brands, increases insulation values — without the addition of costly, less recyclable insulating material.
Comfortable to the Touch
Vinyl does not conduct-it insulates against both heat and cold. So, Accent windows and doors manufactured using PH Tech's PVC remain comfortable to the touch. You’ll appreciate not having to worry about condensation or drafts.

And to round out the package, Accent windows are built to be air- and watertight, so they’ll match the high performance of the glass you choose. Triple glazed glass and an air- and watertight frame equals the best performing window you can buy, period.
