FENESTRATION PRODUCTS CONTRIBUTE TO PERFORMANCE
2024’s model home features Western Window Systems’ series 7600 multi-slide door. Doors in this series offer wide panels and multiple sill height options, with panels up to 12 feet tall, with a maximum of 70 square feet.

The project also featured Masonite’s performance door system, a fiberglass door with a rot resistant frame, equipped with a 4-point performance seal designed to insulate the home from air and water intrusion.

The New American Home is a “symbol of energy efficiency and innovation,” according to NAHB, and this year’s fenestration products helped contribute to the thermal envelope’s efficiency. The building performance breakdown reports a U-factor average of 0.34 and SHGC average of 0.24, and credits the western-facing windows and doors with optimizing solar heat gain and air tightness. The tested envelope leakage rate was also measured at 11.23% of base code.
