Get the Windows That Survived the Worst Weather in the World.
From the Top of Mount Washington to Your Home, Our Summit Series Windows Are Built to Survive.
Soaring more than 6,200 feet above sea level, New Hampshire’s Mount Washington is the tallest peak in New England and home to some of the worst weather conditions on the planet. Blinding blizzards, pelting sleet, sub-zero temperatures, and winds that (until recently) were the highest ever recorded on Earth at 231 miles per hour.
Who would ever want to live there? Or work there? Yet the windswept peak is home to the Mount Washington Observatory, a nearly 100-year old facility performing weather and climate research, and home to a year-round team of meteorologists and scientists. Their snug laboratory and living spaces sit atop the peak, exposed to the elements 24/7/365. It’s a tough place to survive.
Hi Tech Windows & Siding to the Rescue
When the windows at the Mount Washington Observatory – tasked with protecting the staff and visitors from the worst of the summit’s weather – had to be replaced, management made just one call – to Hi Tech Windows & Siding.
After all, our windows had done the job of keeping everyone at the Observatory safe and comfortable for more than two decades, while taking the brunt of the bruising temperatures and blasting winds. All without a single failure or problem.
Our Summit Series Was Designed for New England’s Toughest Weather
We eagerly tackled the challenge once again, this time with an even stronger, more durable and energy-efficient product – our rugged Summit Series window. A window that is available right now for homeowners across New England who want the ultimate protection against the elements, while saving money on ever-climbing heating and cooling costs.
Engineered with a high tensile, chambered vinyl frame, every Summit Series window delivers the rigidity and strength necessary to withstand high winds and wide swings in temperature. The frames securely support a multi-layered glass package, with each pane “sandwiched” around a micro-thin chamber of inert argon gas. Together, glass and frame create an incredibly efficient thermal barrier that sharply reduces energy transfer.
Better Temperature Regulation Means More Comfort at Less Cost
What does this mean for the staff at the Mount Washington Observatory – and you?
During the cold New England winter, heat loss from your home and infiltration from outside air are both significantly reduced. You’ll probably notice that your heating system “kicks on” less frequently. That the air in your home stays warmer for longer. And there is no more chill emanating from the area inside your windows.
When the summer heat and humidity arrive, that same thermal barrier created by your Summit Series windows “flips” to keep the warm, sticky air outside, while helping to retain the cool, conditioned interior air.
The result? Year ‘round comfort in a more balanced and regulated environment, and a reduction in heat loss the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates to be 30% or more. That means less money spent heating and cooling your home, and more time enjoying your beautiful new windows.
