Spectre Window 29.5 in. x 35.5 in. Vinyl Casement Window with Low-E Insulated Glass
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
The 1 lite sash hangs on side hinges and drives outward with a folding crank handle that tucks flat against the frame, clearing blinds and shades. A multi-point lock pulls the sash into full perimeter compression weatherstripping for a tight seal, and a DP 35 structural rating is documented for the flagship size. Glass is double pane with a Low-E coating and argon fill: white units carry double strength panes, and black exterior units carry annealed panes over a white interior. The fusion-welded extruded vinyl frame never needs paint, and a 1.25 in. pre-punched integral nailing fin surrounds the 3.25 in. deep frame for weathertight new construction installs. A full fiberglass mesh screen mounts inside, since the sash opens outward.

Installation Notes
- Verify the rough opening is 0.5 in. wider and taller than the unit, square within 0.25 in., with a level, supported sill before setting.
- Shim behind the hinge-side jamb at hinge points and behind the lock jamb at keeper points so the sash pulls in evenly; a racked frame shows as corner gaps at the sash.
- Integrate the nailing fin with the weather barrier shingle fashion: sill first, then jambs, then head flashing.
- Operate the crank to full extension before fastening off to confirm nothing binds and the multi-point lock throws cleanly.
- Casement sashes are wind-loaded when open; advise owners to close and lock sashes in storms.
Warranty and Support
- Limited manufacturer-backed warranty program on frame and glass, confirmed during quote review.
- Black exterior finish carries a separate multi-year finish warranty, confirmed during quote review.
- Quote packages include crank and lock adjustment guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does left hinge versus right hinge mean?
Hinge side is called viewed from the exterior: a left hinge unit pivots on the left edge and opens toward the right. From inside, the handle sits opposite the hinge.
Why choose a casement over a slider or hung window?
The whole sash opens, so ventilation area is roughly double a slider of the same size, and the open sash scoops breezes moving along the wall. The crank also makes it the easiest window to operate over counters and sinks.
Is the glass the same on white and black units?
Both carry double pane Low-E glass with argon fill. White units are stocked with double strength panes; black exterior units are stocked with annealed panes. Either can be quoted with upgrades on request.
Are grids available?
Colonial style internal grids between the glass are stocked on select sizes and quoted on request; they never need cleaning around.
