Window & Door - August 2010

What’s On Display
in Las Vegas
Window and door industry suppliers to showcase a variety of new components, equipment and systems
MIKRON

SuperCoat, designed especially for window and door manufacturers competing in the replacement market, is durable color coating system, which is vacuum-applied and cured by ultraviolet light. Based on ASTM D3363-

05 color surface hardness testing, the coating is 800 percent harder than competitive paint—testing to a 4H level compared to a leading waterborne paint at 2B, the supplier reports. The product is also said to be more environmentally-sensitive than paint, since it a zero VOC technology. Available in six colors, SuperCoat is different from competing systems and made available only to only Mikron’s partners producing PVC, composite or fiberglass window and door products. Small and mid-sized OEM partners will find that the vacuum-applied process is faster-to-market and less capital intensive than setting up typical specialty paint or coating systems, the supplier states. The company is also showing a new double sliding window design for its Mikron Wood 1750 replacement series.

AMESBURY

The supplier’s various divisions will each be featuring new products in Las Vegas.

Highlighting new Amesbury Group offerings is the Tru-Lock multipoint hardware for entry doors, designed to provide increased security while allowing the homeowner traditional flexibility in trim set hardware. The system easily incorporates into standard double bore panel systems of all types and is adaptable to work with most handle brands in the market today, the supplier states. Also being shown is an expanded line of Omega constant force balance hardware, EcoBan antimicrobial pile and fin products resistant to mold, mildew and fungi, and new Foam-Tite C2 Continuous Seal, a kerf-mounted foam product specifically designed for casement window applications. Engineered to solve problems associated with hard welds and poorly mitered joints, the seal runs continuously through all four corners of a casement window eliminating the need for mitering or welding entirely, which means no leaks and reduced closing force, according to the supplier.

FRIEDMAN

Frontier CADFlow leverages the capabilities of Autodesk Inventor to bring digital prototyping, advanced engineering capabilities, and powerful 3D modeling and presentation tools to product developers, sales force, customers, and shop-floor personnel, all fully-integrated with existing Frontier applications and workflow, the supplier states. From Friedman Corp., the product enhances the quote-to-sale process with powerful 3D visualization and communication capabilities. It also speeds new product development and reduces engineering costs for custom, “one-off” engineered-to-order configurations, according to the supplier. The system allows rapid deployment as it allows Frontier users to use existing models, rules, databases and expertise.
