MEZZO WINDOWS . . . QUALITY AT ITS BEST It’s the ultimate collaboration. Elegant, sleek style mixed with take-charge strength and energy efficiency. The aesthetics are everything you want in a window and the performance power is cutting-edge. Mezzo Windows are made for you. A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION There is so much more to the windows in your home than the frame, sashes and glass. The true substance is the quality and expertise built into every step of the design and manufacturing process. In choosing Alside for your window installation, each window is custom-made to fit your window openings precisely. Our more than 75 years of industry excellence stands strong as our legacy of leadership and trust, where customer happiness always comes first. We also take special pride in producing your windows at our U.S. operations. This not only champions the tradition of American ingenuity and craftsmanship, it also fortifies our nation with quality jobs and economic dollars. The beauty of our EdgeForce narrowline frame and sashes is subtle and substantial at the same time. The sleek design is visually clean and contemporary, with a larger glass area for exceptional daylighting and outside viewing. And beneath the elegance? Internal chambers are meticulously engineered for structural integrity and enhanced energy efficiency. CoreFX is a structural component that never quits. This innovative low-conductive composite reinforcement in the sash meeting rails is designed for energy efficiency and the secure mounting of hardware.1 Stylish and strong, this low-profile secure locking hardware features an indicator that tells you if your windows are left unlocked. But the true beauty of Defense-Tek is its end-of-throw cam shift locking action, expertly constructed for increased protection. Forecaster elevates both the appearance and performance of Mezzo Windows with its smooth, uniform design. The true sloped sill is expertly crafted to provide a highly efficient drainage system that promotes water runoff without the use of weep holes. 2 The benefits distinction here is three-fold: protection from air and water infiltration, increased structural stability and enhanced beauty. The integrated telescoping sill dam effortlessly blends strength with style. When harsh wind and weather hit your home, Gatekeeper stands strong. Traditional sloped sill designs can allow the sash to bow during powerful winds, but with Gatekeeper interlocking sash-to-sill technology, the sash is channeled firmly into the window frame for a unified wall of strength. Combined with three layers of weatherstripping, Gatekeeper delivers unmatched protection, as well as peace of mind. Improved form and functionality is the focus of our Ocular screen bulb seal. The compression bulb aids in the installation and removal of the extruded aluminum screen. The snug fit also helps eliminate light penetration between the screen and frame and helps block insect access.3 4 1-3/8″ Nail Fin Set Back 1-3/8″ Nail Fin Set Back with J-Channel Adapter Triple-Pane Glass 1 Double-hung base model will automatically be upgraded to ST (steel reinforcement) for all units ordered in excess of 48″ wide or 84″ high. 2 For larger size windows or to meet specific DP/PG ratings, optional weeps/performance package must be ordered. 3 Available only with the full screen option. 4Not all nail fin options are available in all woodgrains.

Care and Operation of Your New Windows A Guide to the Most Frequently Asked Questions CONGRATULATIONS 2 Alside Windows feature the trademarks of exceptional window design – superior quality, functional beauty and maintenance freedom. We believe your selection of Alside Windows may very possibly change your daily life in your most personal space – your home.

IMPORTANT: Do not open the sash for at least 24 hours after completion of installation. It is the manufacturer’s recommendation that your new windows not be opened for 24 hours to allow for caulking compounds to cure and set properly. HOMEOWNER INFORMATION 3 Double-hung windows are designed to allow both sashes to raise, lower and tilt in for cleaning the outside surfaces of both the upper and lower sash. To tilt in the lower sash, follow these steps: 1. Unlock the window. 2. Raise the lower sash a minimum of 3″. 3. Pull both tilt latch buttons (located on the top rail of the sash) toward the center of the sash to disengage them from the mainframe jambs. (Photo 1) 4. With both hands, carefully pull the top of the lower sash in toward you slightly beyond a 90˚ position. (Photo 2) Support the sash while cleaning the exterior. (Photo 3) To tilt in the upper sash, follow these steps: 1. Lower the upper sash to at least 2″ above the sash stops (located in the lower outside track). 2. Pull both tilt latch buttons toward the center of the sash to disengage them from the mainframe jambs. 3. With both hands, carefully pull the top of the upper sash in toward you slightly beyond a 90˚ position and rest it on top of the supported lower sash. (The upper sash cannot be tilted in without the lower sash being tilted in.) To replace the sashes to the operating positions, hold the top rail of the sash with both hands and push it all the way into the mainframe tracks. Make certain that the tilt latch buttons click in to lock the sash in the mainframe. If the tilt latches are not reengaged in the mainframe, the sash may fall inward unexpectedly. Note: To tilt both sashes in, tilt the lower sash in first, then tilt in the upper sash. To reengage the sashes, reposition the upper sash first, then the lower sash.

DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOW 4 Sliding windows are designed to roll from side to side in their own tracks. They are removable from these tracks for the cleaning of the exterior surfaces. To remove the interior sash (right sash), follow these steps: 1. Roll the right sash to within 3″ of the left side. This will enable the sash to bypass the anti-lift block located in the header of the mainframe. (Photo 1) 2. Lift the sash up into the header of the mainframe as high as it will go. 3. Pull the bottom of the sash toward you. This will clear the rollers and sash frame from the mainframe. (Photo 2) 4. Lower the sash to the floor. (Photo 3) To remove the exterior sash (left sash), follow these steps: 1. Roll the left sash to within 3″ of the right side. 2. Lift the sash into the header of the mainframe. 3. Pull the bottom of the sash toward you and lower it to the floor. (Photo 4) Carefully clean the exterior of the sashes. To replace the sashes, simply reverse this process. Note: Sashes on larger sliding windows may be difficult to lift out due to weight.

SLIDING WINDOW Just as with Alside’s other window styles, casement windows are easily cleaned from the interior of the home. To clean the casement window, follow these steps: 1. Turn the screen retainer clips 1/4 turn counterclockwise. 2. Remove the screen. 3. Clean the interior side of the sash. 4. Unlock the window. (Photo 1) 5. Crank the sash all the way to its full open position. (Photos 2 and 3) 6. Clean the exterior of the sash by reaching your arm through the space between the mainframe and the sash. (Photo 4) 7. To reinstall the screen, place it into the opening and turn the screen retainer clips 1/4 turn clockwise to hold it in place. These instructions may not apply to egress models.

CASEMENT WINDOW 6 DO’S AND DON’TS 7 DO Do open the top and bottom sash for improved ventilation. Do use both hands to support sashes while tilting them in to clean. Do support the sashes when they are in the cleaning position. Do make sure the tilt latches are fully engaged after tilting sashes back into the operating position. Do make sure the top sash on a double-hung window is closed and up all the way before locking the window. DON’T Don’t leave the lock in the locked position when closing the window; this will damage the keeper. Don’t attempt to remove the sashes on double-hung windows. Don’t use oil-based spray lubricants such as WD-40, as they attract dirt. Use a silicone spray for lubrication. Don’t use abrasive-type cleaners to clean the glass or vinyl on these windows. Don’t use solvents to clean the windows. Don’t use the crank on a casement window without unlocking the window first. Don’t use a high-pressure hose to clean the outside of a window. Don’t install a window air conditioner in a vinyl window without adequate support. Don’t paint or varnish vinyl windows. WINDOW CARE AND CLEANING 8 WINDOWS: Label and tape adhesive should be removed with alcohol-based cleaners on small glass areas only. After this is removed, thoroughly wet the glass and rinse with plain water. Glass can be cleaned with regular or ammonia-based glass cleaners. Vinyl (PVC) products can be cleaned with a solution of mild soap and water. Use any non-abrasive cleaner for tough jobs. Do not use solvents, paint removers or sharp objects to clean your windows or patio doors. Condensation is caused by excess interior relative humidity in the home. It is your responsibility to control your home’s relative humidity. For more information, request a copy of Your Guide to Common Household Condensation. If mildew is a problem in your area, use an appropriate cleaner or mildew controller found in your local store. Painting or varnishing your window is not required and will void the warranty. The tracks of the double-hung and sliding windows are exposed to the outdoor elements, which can contain abrasive elements such as dirt, leaves, sand, grease, soot, etc. If these elements are not removed, they can be ground into the vinyl tracks when the sashes are operated. A minimum semi-annual cleaning is recommended. These tracks can be cleaned with a small, stiff nylon brush, then wiped down with a soft cloth. If necessary, an occasional light coat of silicone spray lubricant on the balance shoe track of a double- hung, and the tracks of a sliding window, will help ease the operation without leaving an oily residue which can collect more abrasive elements. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for safe use of any chemical or cleaner. Any cleaning information suggested in this manual is only to assist you. The window manufacturer assumes no responsibility for results obtained which are dependent on the chemical solutions as prepared, and quantity and method of application. 9 SCREENS: Screens can be cleaned easily with a soft brush accessory from a vacuum cleaner. If a more thorough cleaning is desired and the screens need to be removed, follow these steps: DOUBLE-HUNG WINDOW 1. From the interior, raise both sashes to their highest position. 2. Raise the screen up to a point where you can get your hand on the lower aluminum frame section. 3. Push the screen to the left side of the window. The screen has springs on this side. 4. Once the screen is positioned as far left as possible, gently push the right side of the screen toward the exterior. 5. Once the right side is disengaged from the screen track, remove it from the left side as well. To replace the screen to its tracks, follow these steps: 1. The springs should be positioned on the left. Place the springs in the left screen track. 2. Push the screen as far left as possible. 3. Pull the right side in, center it in the right screen track, and reengage it in that track. SLIDING WINDOW To remove a screen on a sliding window, simply pull up on the aluminum screen track bottom, placing it all the way up into the top screen track. Push out the bottom to clear the screen from the bottom screen track, and disengage the screen at the top. To replace the screen, reverse the above steps. INTERIOR GLASS CARE AND CLEANING 10 S6 AND SF LOW-E INTERIOR GLASS SURFACES Simply clean your S6 or SF glass with a standard commercial glass cleaning product, such as Windex®, or a gentle soap and clean water solution. IMPORTANT: Contact with harsh or abrasive materials can damage S6 and SF glass. The following list provides important care guidelines: Rust removal products or other applications that contain hydrofluoric acid (HF) will damage the S6 and SF glass coating and cause permanent damage. Vapor from HF products can also damage the S6 and SF glass surface. Do not use Soft Scrub® or similar cleaners with abrasives that may damage the glass surface. Scratch removal or buffing the glass should not be attempted, as it may change the appearance of the coating. Razor blades or other sharp instruments should not be used when cleaning the glass. A squeegee with exposed metal edges could scratch the glass and damage the coating. If a squeegee is used, be certain it has no metal or harsh edges. If furniture polish or similar products are used to clean the window frame components or nearby furnishings, avoid spraying onto the glass. Immediately clean the glass if overspray occurs. Because the interior surface of S6 and SF glass Low-E technology reflects heat back into your home, you may notice the glass will feel cooler than a glass surface without Low-E coating. In addition, during colder months, S6 and SF glass may be more likely to have some condensation, depending on factors such as the air temperature in the room, outside air temperature and indoor percent relative humidity.

CondensationYour Guide to Common Household Condensation Common household condensation or “sweating” on windows is caused by excess humidity or water vapor in a home. When water vapor in the air comes in contact with a cold surface such as a mirror or window glass, it turns into water droplets called condensation. All homes have occasional condensation, such as a little fogging on the windows, but this is no cause for concern. On the other hand, excessive window condensation, frost, peeling paint, or moisture spots on ceilings and walls can be signs of potentially damaging humidity levels in your home. We tend to notice condensation on windows and mirrors first because moisture doesn’t penetrate these surfaces. Yet they are not the problem, simply the indicators that you need to reduce the indoor humidity of your home. DISPELLING THE MYTH . . . WINDOWS DO NOT CAUSE CONDENSATION You may be wondering why your new energy- efficient replacement windows show more condensation than your old drafty ones. Your old windows allowed air to flow between the inside of your home and the outdoors. Your new windows create a tight seal between your home and the outside. Excess moisture is unable to escape, and condensation becomes visible. Windows do not cause condensation, but they are often one of the first signs of excessive humidity in the air. UNDERSTANDING CONDENSATION Excessive Humidity in a Home By managing excessive humidity in your home you may very well eliminate most, if not all, of your condensation problems. SIX SIMPLE SOLUTIONS FOR CONTROLLING INDOOR HUMIDITY 1. Make sure all sources of ventilation to the outside are functional and use kitchen, bathroom and laundry room exhaust fans during and after humidity-producing activities to vent excess moisture. 2. Air out your home periodically. Opening windows for just a few minutes a day lets the stale, moist air escape and the fresh, dry air enter. 3. Check your humidifier settings. Use the humidity comfort levels provided in the table above to correctly set and balance the humidity in your home. 4. Be sure that all louvers in the attic or basement are open and large enough. You can even open your fireplace dampers to allow excess moisture to escape. 5. If you have a large number of house plants, try to concentrate them in one area and be careful not to over water. 6. If troublesome condensation persists, see your heating contractor about an outside air intake for your furnace, venting of gas burning heaters and appliances, or installation of ventilating fans. WHERE DOES INDOOR HUMIDITY COME FROM? All air contains a certain amount of moisture, even indoors. And there are many common things that generate indoor humidity, such as your heating system, humidifiers, cooking and showers. In fact, every activity that involves water, even mopping the floors, contributes moisture to the air. The climate can also contribute to condensation. For example, on cold winter days the moisture in the warm, interior air of your home can condense on the typically colder glass surfaces of your windows and patio doors. It is normal to experience condensation at the start of each heating season. During the humid summer months your home absorbs moisture and then perspires when you turn on the heat. This is only temporary. After the first few weeks of heating your home should dry out, reducing – if not eliminating – condensation. The same scenario occurs during remodeling or building projects. Due to the high levels of moisture in wood, plaster and other building materials, your home will temporarily sweat during the first few weeks of the heating season. Another factor in the condensation equation is progress. With today’s high-performance insulation, moisture-barrier materials and airtight construction, we all enjoy a more thermally efficient home – one that blocks the cold out, yet traps the moisture in, producing higher humidity levels and more condensation. REDUCING HUMIDITY IS THE KEY The best way to reduce condensation is to eliminate excessive humidity. The following table illustrates the recommended maximum indoor relative humidity based upon varying outdoor air temperatures with an indoor air temperature of 70˚F.1 Outdoor Air Temperature Indoor Relative Humidity (%RH) 20° to 40˚F ≤ 40% 10° to 20˚F ≤ 35% 0° to 10˚F ≤ 30% -10° to 0˚F ≤ 25% -20° to -10˚F ≤ 20% Below -20˚F ≤ 15% (Indoor humidity can be measured with a humidistat or psychrometer.)  ENERGY STAR name and logo are registered U.S. marks and are owned by the U.S. government. 1www.fgiaonline.org/pages/understanding-indoor-condensation (accessed 8-1-23). Printed in USA 08/23 5.7M/OP 75-2817-01 Condensation can be very difficult to solve. There are many factors that affect condensation, such as the number and type of windows in your home, the heating system, the type of insulation and vapor barrier, and even the type of soil and quality of drainage. If you still have condensation problems after following the simple preventative steps mentioned in this guide, you may need to consult a professional heating contractor or other qualified expert. Windows qualify for the ENERGY STAR® label when they meet or exceed the established guidelines for energy efficiency. This recognition is granted to only the most advanced, energy- efficient products on the market. Alside offers a variety of ENERGY STAR-certified products. Please consult your window professional to help you choose an energy-efficient glass package to meet the ENERGY STAR requirements for your home and climate zone.
