Differentiating Factors

What differentiates La Finestra products from traditional aluminum windows and doors is its elegant finish, a unique heat-treated paint process, and rounded edges which give the final products the appearance of wood without the maintenance issues of wood products.

STRENGTH
La Finestra profiles for Windows & Doors are the strongest in the industry. La Finestra profiles specifications are designed to meet and exceed the Miami-Dade product approval. Our products are manufactured using the highest quality Italian extruded aluminum, hardware and glass with the highest level of craftsmanship and precision.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
La Finestra glass options include Impact or Insulated Impact to allow higher energyefficiencies thus minimizing heat transfer between inside and outside. Glass options are available with Low-E coating for even higher levels of energy efficiency.

PRODUCT FEATURES
La Finestra products features are:

• UV Protection – Laminated glass can block up to 99% of harmful and damaging UV rays
• Longevity – Aluminum products for long lasting in humid and hot climates
• Beauty – Variety of solid colors and wood grain finishes. Our wood grain finish profiles have the look of real wood but made of aluminum. Custom colors are available along with a wide range of glass and elegant hardware options.
• Easy Maintenance – Our aluminum products require no maintenance other than normal cleaning. Unlike wood products, La Finestra impact resistant Windows and Doors are manufactured with high grade aluminum, which means they perform well in humid climates and will last much longer.
• Integrated Astragal – Our double windows and doors have no astragal in sight, which would allow for an unrestricted view.
• Hinges – Our Window and Door hinges are made from stainless steel and extruded aluminum, which makes them resistant to rust and corrosion, even in the most demanding seacoast environment. They are designed to be easily adjustable. If the foundation settles, the window moves. The hinges are attached to a sliding clutch that is inserted into a rail. A change in the window height requires just a simple adjustment to the clutch. In addition, the hinge is lubricated with nylon bushings. This allows the heaviest sash, with 7/16” plate glass, to be moved with a single finger.

The following features are added with impact resistant glass:

• Safety – 24/7 protection against hurricanes
• Security – 24/7 protection against intruders
• Noise Reduction – 33 dB noise reduction

Four different gaskets are used to improve the Window and Door insulation against weather extremes. The gaskets are made from EPDM polymer which is one of the most weather-resistant materials available. It is designed for all weather applications and its durability is superior to the vinyl gaskets most commonly used in Florida’s construction today.
