GENEO windows

The GENEO windows are WASCO’s best performers, with the performance necessary for even a certified passive house. Utilizing REHAU’s GENEO profiles, we build these windows in our Wisconsin factory with German machinery. The 86mm, six-chamber GENEO profiles are made from the high-tech composite RAU-FIPRO.  U-frame is as low as 0.80 W/m2K (0.14 Btu/hr•ft2°F) on an operating unit. WASCO can supply these windows and doors with up to 41mm (1.61”) triple pane glazing. NFRC U-Factors range from 0.14 to 0.16 Btu/hr•ft2°F depending on glazing and insulation modules. GENEO Windows are available in Tilt & Turn, hopper and fixed designs. Doors include entry doors, Tilt & Turn balcony doors and Tilt & Slide patio doors.

WASCO 1400 Line of Windows

The 1400 line of windows is an option for customers building a low-energy home who want high thermal performance but prefer North American crank-out operation. Produced with multi-chambered REHAU RAU-PVC profiles, the frame of this system is remarkably warm without overly large sight-lines. This system is available with high and low solar heat gain 35mm (1.375”) triple pane glass for NFRC U-Factors as low as 0.18 Btu/hr•ft2°F. Window options include casements, awnings and picture windows.

The 4500 series of windows and doors offers European operation at a lower price, while still providing excellent performance. Built on galvanized steel, 4-chamber 60mm REHAU RAU-PVC profiles, the 4500 is available with NFRC U-Factors as low as 0.19 Btu/hr•ft2°F.
