Hybrid Series

Hybrid Windows

  • Material Combination: Typically, hybrid windows have an exterior frame made of durable, low-maintenance materials like aluminum or fiberglass, combined with a more energy-efficient or aesthetically pleasing interior material like wood or vinyl.
  • Energy Efficiency: By combining materials, hybrid windows can offer superior insulation and thermal performance, which helps in reducing energy costs.
  • Durability: The exterior materials, like aluminum or fiberglass, provide excellent resistance to weathering, corrosion, and UV rays, ensuring the window lasts longer.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The interior materials, like wood, offer warmth and beauty, making them a popular choice for those who want a traditional look with modern performance.
  • Low Maintenance: The external materials used in hybrid windows are designed to be low-maintenance, requiring little upkeep compared to all-wood windows.

DECCA U PVC & Aluminum Hybrid Windows

The Decca U PVC systems are known for their great thermal efficiency and sturdy design. They not only look good but can fit any project. Available in 3.25, 4.5, and 5.625 extruded profile frames, these systems offer many options including different glass thicknesses, color matching, and a Laminate Exterior Finish that resists scratches and fading. The laminate exterior offers outstanding color durability, ensuring that the window system looks good for years. Windows with laminate finishes are more efficient than painted ones, maintaining their great look from manufacturing to installation. These systems are simple yet stylish, enhancing your home’s appearance for many years.

What Are Hybrid Windows?

Hybrid windows are a type of window that combines different materials to take advantage of the strengths of each. The goal of a hybrid window is to provide a balance between durability, aesthetics, energy efficiency, and maintenance. Typically, hybrid windows combine the following materials:

  1. Aluminum and Vinyl/UPVC: The exterior frame may be made of aluminum, which offers a sleek appearance and durability against the elements, while the interior is made of vinyl or UPVC, providing insulation and reducing maintenance.

  2. Aluminum and Wood: Some hybrid windows feature aluminum on the outside for strength and resistance to weather, with wood on the inside for a more traditional and warm aesthetic.

  3. Fiberglass and Vinyl: Fiberglass provides strength and durability, while vinyl offers affordability and insulation.

ENERGY STAR Rated Hybrid Windows

ENERGY STAR-rated hybrid windows are windows that meet the energy efficiency standards set by the ENERGY STAR program while incorporating hybrid materials, such as aluminum, wood, vinyl, or fiberglass. These windows are designed to reduce energy consumption by improving insulation and minimizing heat transfer, which can help homeowners save on heating and cooling costs.

Benefits of Hybrid Windows

  • Energy Efficiency
  • Lead-free uPVC
  • Welded Corners
  • Security Locks
  • An integrated brick-mould ensures a perfect fit every time.

The Low-E Option

Low-E coatings minimize the amount of
ultraviolet and infrared light that passes
through glass. A thin coat of these metallic
particles will allow glass to act like a mesh
resulting in the amount of light
transmission through the glass to remain
unaffected. Low-E glass provides improved
energy-efficiency, year-round and minimizes
sun damage to your home furnishings.
Options available for:


Cold Climates – Consists of two panels
which allows the winter sun to warm the
home without letting cold air in and
blocking 71% of harmful UV rays.
Warmer Climates – Made to divert the
sun’s heat without affecting the view and
blocking up to 95% of harmful UV rays while
controlling the environment’s humidity
level.
Extreme Cold Climates – Consists of three
panels as opposed to two, retaining more
warm air than it loses.

Benefits of Using High-Quality Spacers:

Improved Energy Efficiency: Reducing thermal bridging along the edges of the window means that less energy is lost, contributing to a more consistent indoor temperature.

Minimized Condensation: By maintaining better surface temperatures, good-quality spacers can reduce condensation, which can lead to mold or damage to window frames.

Extended Longevity: Properly designed and certified spacers help maintain the integrity of the window’s insulating gas seals, ensuring that the window system performs well over time without leakage or fogging.

Spacer Types

Our spacers are made to meet Energy Star
Zones and are IGMAC approved and certified.

IGMAC Approval and Certification:

    • IGMAC (Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance) certification indicates that the spacers have been tested and approved according to strict industry standards. This certification ensures that the spacers are durable, provide optimal thermal performance, and are reliable for long-term use.
    • IGMAC-certified spacers help ensure that the insulating glass units (IGUs) they are part of maintain their seal and thermal performance over time, preventing air leakage or moisture infiltration.
