Spectre Window 47.5 in. x 35.5 in. Vinyl Awning Window with Low-E Insulated Glass, Black

The sash hinges at the top and cranks outward from the bottom edge with a folding handle, so the open glass sheds rain away from the opening while it vents. A double lock pulls the sash tight against the frame, and a DP 35 structural rating, 0.27 U-factor, and 0.18 SHGC are documented for the flagship size. The factory-applied black exterior finish resists scratching and will not crack or peel, over a white vinyl interior that keeps rooms bright. Frames are fusion welded for square, weathertight corners, and a 1.25 in. pre-punched integral nailing fin surrounds the 3 in. deep frame for new construction installs. A full fiberglass mesh screen mounts on the interior.

Installation Notes

• Verify the rough opening is 0.5 in. wider and taller than the unit, square, with a level, supported sill before setting.
• Shim behind the jambs at the lock keepers and hinge points so the sash pulls in evenly across the top edge.
• Integrate the nailing fin with the weather barrier shingle fashion: sill first, then jambs, then head flashing.
• Cycle the crank to full opening before fastening off to confirm the sash swings and both locks throw cleanly.
• In stacked or mulled compositions, confirm mull reinforcement requirements during quote review before framing.

Warranty and Support

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it vent during rain?
Yes, in light rain. The top hinged sash slopes outward over the opening like a small canopy, shedding water away from the frame. Close and lock the sash in storms and driving rain.

Is the interior black too?
No. The stocked units pair a black exterior finish with a white vinyl interior, which reads as a dark frame outside without darkening the room inside.

Where do awning windows work best?
High on walls, over kitchen counters and tubs, as transom bands over fixed glass, and anywhere you want ventilation with privacy and weather protection. They pair well under picture windows in stacked compositions.

Are grids available?
Colonial style internal grids between the glass are stocked on several sizes of this platform and quoted on request.
