Cornerstone Building Brands introduced black interior and exterior options on its Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection Windows and Patio Doors recently. This elevates the aesthetic of new builds and meeting the increasing demand for high-contrast designs. The Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection features a coextruded black interior and exterior, providing UV protection and durability, along with proven color retention and weather resistance. The color is integrated directly into the vinyl during manufacturing, ensuring long-term resistance to weathering and heat buildup.
The Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection is designed to contribute to overall energy efficiency with a range of glass packages, from Low-E for solar heat deflection to HPMax triple-pane for ultimate thermal efficiency. The collection can be ordered with ENERGY STAR certification for any climate zone, making it a versatile option for builders and homeowners.
Kate Land, Vice President of Product and Innovation, Aperture Solutions U.S., Cornerstone Building Brands, notes that the Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection black windows can withstand the elements. “With dark colors especially, manufacturers need to account for heat absorption and potential material stress. It’s why this collection was made with coextrusion technology; the process layers UV inhibitors and reflective pigments right into the product to offer long-term resistance to weathering and heat buildup,” he said.
The new all-black windows and patio doors are available now through the AccuQuote ordering system.
