Our products and processes emphasize energy savings – and that means we consume less energy to minimize the CO2 released into our environment.
Our buildings save energy by utilizing in-floor radiant heating during off-peak energy hours and by using motion controlled lighting.
Our processes conserve resources – like filtering and reusing glass wash water for glass rinsing, and recycling our vinyl and glass scrap created during the fabrication process. And of course, we have a recycling program for metals, cardboard and paper.
Interstate belongs to a voluntary energy cooperative that monitors and helps reduce energy usage during times of peak demand. We are helping to protect our community from blackouts, to keep energy rates stable and to help the environment by reducing reliance on peaking power plants.
MODEL 6800 DUAL SLIDER / InVision
SLIDERS are similar to double hung windows but sashes move from side to side.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
GENERAL DETAILS
Meet the work horse of the Interstate vinyl window line.
The model 6800 Dual Slider is a strong, mid-level window with many options that will satisfy most of today’s construction demands for replacement and new construction projects. The slider offers a lift handle, balance covers, head and sill expanders for added insulation providing less air infiltration after the installation.

Climaguard™ Low E Glass and Argon Gas Add Comfort and Energy Savings
Low E is a transparent metallic oxide coating applied onto a glass surface. The coating allows short-wave energy to pass through but reflects long-wave infrared energy, which lowers the U-value and that means more energy savings. An odorless, colorless, tasteless, non-toxic gas, argon is six times denser than air. It is used to replace air between the glass panes to reduce thermal energy transfer and heat loss.
ClimaGuard glass has heat reflective coatings – microscopically thin layers of metal and metal oxide that filter energy by keeping warmth inside in winter and outside in summer.
HARDWARE / GRIDS
Built Tough Hardware
All Interstate vinyl windows come standard with the industry’s finest hardware system. The operators, locks, and hinges have all been developed to work together to meet or exceed maximum performance requirements. Interstate provides the strongest, most attractive, easiest operating and highest performing hardware in today’s market.
Grid Options
Grids bring a distinctive look to your home. Four grid styles in a variety of color and style combinations offer many choices when selecting grids for your windows. Grids Between Glass (GBG) afford easy cleaning, Simulated Divided Lites (SDLs) are permanently adhered to the panes inside and out and are designed to look like a true multi-paned window.
