MEZZO FEATURES YOU WILL LOVE:
- Exceptional Energy Efficiency
Mezzo® Windows are engineered with a thermally optimized narrowline frame and sash that incorporate a dual-pane insulated glass solution, meeting rigorous ENERGY STAR® standards. Featuring the innovative ClimaTech PriME glass package, Mezzo® Windows can help you qualify for potential tax credits due to their superior energy efficiency. This advanced technology not only enhances thermal insulation but also contributes to reduced energy costs and improved comfort within your home.
- Elegant Design with Advanced Durability
The narrowline construction of Mezzo® Windows maximizes daylight visibility, brightening your living space while providing strong, reliable performance. The advanced technological reinforcements ensure the windows are both strong and efficient. Mezzo® Windows have been recognized by BobVila.com as one of the best window brands, underscoring their exceptional design and quality.
- Innovative Features for Optimal Performance
– EdgeForce Frame and Sash: This low-profile design expands the glass area, while internal chambers boost structural integrity and energy efficiency.
– Ocular Screen Bulb Seal: Eliminates light gaps between the screen and frame, simplifying screen installation and removal.
– CoreFX Composite Reinforcement: Enhances structural strength and reduces energy transfer, ensuring secure hardware mounting.
– Defense-Tek Locking System: Provides increased security with its end-of-throw cam shift locking action.
– Forecaster Water Management: Efficiently directs water runoff, maintaining a clean and attractive window exterior.
– HP3 Telescoping Sill Dam: Protects against air and water infiltration, enhances structural stability, and adds beauty.
– Gatekeeper Interlocking Technology: Ensures a unified wall of strength for greater durability.
- Superior Insulated Glass Packages
Choosing the right glass system is essential for maximizing energy efficiency. Mezzo® Windows offer a range of high-performance insulated glass packages:
– ClimaTech PriME: Combines three panes of glass, three surfaces of Low-E technology, argon gas fill, and warm-edge spacer systems, meeting ENERGY STAR Most Efficient criteria.
– ClimaTech: Features Low-E glass, argon gas, and the Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System.
– ClimaTech ThermD: Includes Low-E glass, argon gas, and a Stainless Steel Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer System.
– ClimaTech Plus: Combines Foam Spacer System, UV-filtering Low-E glass, and argon gas.
- Enhanced Cavity Foam Insulation
Mezzo® Windows are equipped with advanced cavity foam insulation that offers superior thermal protection. The silver-gray foam, containing graphite granules, enhances insulation performance by reflecting radiant heat and lowering thermal conductivity. This innovative foam increases energy efficiency and results in a lower U-factor, providing better energy savings throughout the year.
- High Performance Sliding Windows
For homes in coastal or storm-prone areas, the Mezzo 3002 HP Sliding Window provides outstanding performance. It meets or exceeds Performance Grade (PG) 50 requirements for air pressure, water penetration, and structural load. Key features include:
– An extruded aluminum roller track for higher water resistance.
– Steel reinforcements and metal components for increased strength and durability.
– Heavy-duty 5 mm glass panes for enhanced durability and energy efficiency.
Help Increase Your Energy Savings with ClimaTech
Since windows are approximately 80% glass, selecting an efficient glass system is crucial. ClimaTech’s multilayered, low emissivity (Low-E) glass combined with argon gas and a warm-edge spacer system significantly improves energy efficiency compared to standard clear glass units.
– Energy Loss in Summer: Low-E glass helps block unwanted solar heat, reducing the need for air conditioning and conserving energy.
– Energy Loss in Winter: During colder months, Low-E glass reflects warmth back into your home, reducing heat loss and enhancing energy savings.
Custom Installation for Every Preference
While we are proud to offer the outstanding Mezzo® Windows with these advanced features, Marine Home Improvement is also happy to install any model or brand you prefer. Our skilled team ensures a seamless installation process, regardless of your choice.

What Types of Windows Exist?
When it comes to choosing windows for your home, there are various types that cater to different needs and preferences. Understanding the different window styles can help you make an informed decision. Here are some common types of windows:
1. Awning Windows
Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward, providing ventilation even during light rain. Their design allows the sash to close against the frame, resulting in lower air leakage rates compared to sliding windows. This feature makes them an energy-efficient option for homeowners.
2. Hopper Windows
Hopper windows are hinged at the bottom and open inward, making them ideal for basements or areas where space is limited. Similar to awning windows and casement windows, they close tightly against the frame, ensuring minimal air leakage. This design enhances energy efficiency while providing ventilation.
3. Sliding Windows
Sliding windows come in two variations: single-sliding and double-sliding. In single-sliding windows, only one sash moves horizontally, while both sashes slide in double-sliding windows. Generally, these types of windows experience higher air leakage rates than hinged or projecting windows. However, they are popular for their easy operation and wide views.
4. Fixed Windows
Fixed windows are designed as non-opening panes, providing a clear view and natural light without any ventilation. When installed correctly, they are airtight, making them an excellent choice for energy efficiency. However, they are not suitable for areas where ventilation or emergency egress is necessary.
5. Single- and Double-Hung Windows
Single-hung windows have a fixed top sash, with only the bottom sash sliding vertically. In contrast, double-hung windows allow both sashes to slide. Although these windows are widely used, they generally have higher air leakage rates than awning or casement windows, which can affect energy efficiency.
6. Casement Windows
Casement windows are hinged on the sides and open outward, similar to awning windows. They close tightly against the frame, resulting in lower air leakage rates than sliding windows. This makes casement windows an excellent option for homeowners looking for energy-efficient and easily operable windows.
