Tafco fiberlux welded vinyl patio door

the energy-efficient, low-maintenance sliding patio door

vinyl-- the perfect
sliding door material

vinyl is rapidly becoming the builder's- and the consumer's material of choice. builders prefer vinyl's ease of installation, sturdiness and ability to withstand construction-site rigors; while buyers appreciate vinyl's energy efficiency, easy operation, good looks, cleaning ease and minimal maintenance.

The Series 1300 fully welded main frame and sliding door panel offer exceptional weather-tightness and superior thermal performance. And, because it is vinyl, it will never need painting, stripping, sanding or lubricating; providing years of lasting, essentially maintenance-free beauty.

Easy To Install, Built To Last

The Series 1300 sliding patio door system is made from high-quality Fiberlux virgin rigid polyvinyl chloride extrusions, and features multi-chambered construction for enhanced strength and durability.

Featuring a fully-welded frame and sliding panel, the Series 1300's virtually air- and water-tight frames are exceptionally strong and clean in appearance.

And, because the Series 1300 is vinyl, homeowners will never have to paint, strip, sand or lubricate their door, giving them years of smooth and trouble-free operation while they enjoy energy savings, dynamic views and rising home values.

The nominal 4~" vinyl frames include an integral 1¼" pre-punched nailer fin for fast, weather-tight installation.
For replacement or fiat-set applications, the fin is removable without affecting the door's structural integrity.

Series 1300 sliding glass doors come in a wide range of standard as well as custom sizes. Colors include white, almond and terrace brown; and a wood grain interior finish is also available.

Easy To Use

The Series 1300 sliding glass door system features tandem adjustable roller assemblies for smooth, long-lasting and trouble-free operation. The attractive wooden handle adds beauty and convenience, while the combination mortise lock and keeper; inside latch, optional outside key; secures the door and provides positive anti-lift protection. (Other hardware packages available.) And, because vinyl is self-lubricating, these doors won't stick or bind with changes in the weather.

High-performance weather stripping is strategically placed to resist air infiltration without interfering with the operation of the door. Equal glass sight-lines are not only open and attractive, but glass replacement is easy should it ever become necessary, because the equal glass sizes and the outside dual-durometer snap-in glazing bead make reglazing simple.

Energy Efficient

Unlike metal, vinyl is a natural insulator. It is always comfortable to the touch, no matter what the season.

Dead-air trapped within the multi-chambered frame and hermetically sealed insulating glass forms a thermal barrier against outside temperatures. Energy efficiency may be further enhanced by choosing from Low-E, gas-filled, Super Spacer'" or other available glazing options.

Wedge-shaped and weather-stripped interlocks seal as the door closes, pulling the sliding panel and impost together and compressing the weather-strip to enhance strength and weather-tightness and prevent drafts.

These energy-saving features also work to help keep exterior noises outside, helping create a quiet, draft-free, energy-efficient and very comfortable home.
