Upscale Appearance, Outstanding Performance and Advanced Hardware Define Harvey's Top-of-Line Entry; Production and Marketing Now Underway

In response to the evolving needs of homeowners and the challenges of escalating heating fuel costs, Harvey has announced its most stylish and advanced line of maintenance-free vinyl windows to date, the Tribute. A premium entry to the vinyl window market which will be available for use in replacement and new construction applications, the Tribute addresses consumers' varied needs in a single product, combining high-end elegance, exceptional functionality and, with the available high performance triple-glazing package, superior thermal protection.

Available mid-August, the Tribute will deliver a number of advanced design, functionality and energy conservation features, including:

    STAR® qualification;

    glass sealed with PPG's Warm-Edge Intercept glass spacer system for added
    performance and durability. Two panes of glass use Low-E coating, and both
    airspaces contain Krypton gas for superior energy efficiency, and 2)
    Guardian ClimaGuard SPF(TM)UV protection, eliminating over 99% of damaging
    UV rays, with a fade protection factor (FPF) of greater than 50;

    break down and loosen organic dirt on glass surface, making rinsing more
    efficient with minimal spotting and streaking;
--  Stylish, contoured sash and glazing bead offer the high-end
    architectural design of a well-crafted wood window;
--  Dual action low profile sash lock with integrated tilt/wash feature
    eliminates the need for separate tilt latches;

"The Tribute line exemplifies not only our tradition of listening to and incorporating consumer opinion into our products, but also our steadfast commitment to excellence, innovation, aesthetic appeal, performance and value. We think the Tribute is the finest vinyl window on the market, incorporating all the performance, features and sophisticated design homeowners want and exceeding the high quality standards contractors have come to expect from Harvey."
