EFCO, a brand of Apogee Architectural Metals, offers its 2700 Series in fixed, projected and casement window configurations.

Supporting energy-efficient, code-compliant projects, EFCO 2700 windows feature thermally broken framing and sash with an insulating thermal barrier. Fixed windows can achieve U-factors as low as 0.31 and frame condensation resistance as high as 54 CRFf.

GBA#4417_EFCO2700windows-Projected.jpgThese EFCO windows are approved through the National Fenestration Rating Council’s Component Modeling Approach (CMA) Product Certification Program. In addition, an environmental product declaration (EPD per ISO 14025 and 21930) is available to assist building teams with their sustainable project goals.

EFCO 2700 Series windows have a 2-inch aluminum frame depth with 3-3/16-inch sightline. They accommodate 1-inch monolithic glazing, dual- and triple-glazed IGUs, or infill panels. Factory-fabricated as pre-glazed units with pressure-equalized design, EFCO 2700 architectural grade, fixed windows are AAMA AW-PG140 rated for heavy use in challenging conditions. Their mortise-and-tenon frame construction features mitered and angle-reinforced window corners.

Along with stringent testing for air, water, structural, thermal and condensation performance, EFCO 2700 Series windows deliver forced entry resistance and sound attenuation, further supporting occupant comfort, safety and well-being. Operable windows also have been tested per AAMA 513 for ADA accessible operation.
