Kickplate & Transom Options
DURALite Glass
*The pictures on this page are to illustrate the transom & kickplate options. They are not to replace instruction guidelines and may be slightly different than your particular installation.
Standard installation comes with solid EPS core paneling (TuffCore Vinyl skin) both above and below windows and doors (colors & finishes shown below).
As an option all Alpha Plus Wall Systems can have either a 12”or 24” single or double Duralite Glass kickplate and / or transom. All Alpha Plus glass transoms and kick-plates will come pre-assembled and shipped in place in the module.
The Duralite Glass is a standard upgrade on all sunroom systems with single & double pane windows
8 times stronger that residential glass increasing security – nearly unbreakable
Stronger than laminated /safety glass. Decreases chances of breaking – rated as good or better than tempered glass!
Patented warm-edge spacer technology for maximum insulation and minimum air loss
Safe and shatter resistant.
Our standard configurations have the tops of all windows lined up with the top of the door installation. All door installations are 80″ tall to top of door. If you desire a glass kickplate below your windows we will suggest 54″ tall windows with a 24″ glass kick-plate underneath. This will leave a 2″ solid EPS core fill to trim the wall installation ‘level’ during the module installation.
Note: In order to have a glass transom above your windows and doors you will need to have a minimum finished front wall height of 8′ or more.
TuffCore Panels
Our specialized space age vinyl is laminated on all our EPS core wall panels. This is one of the beautiful aspects of our wall systems, adding strength and a lifetime of low maintenance durability. Durable scratch resistant vinyl laminated on a 1.5 lb. 3.5″ thick expanded polystyrene core. The vinyl is colored all the way through. It is resistant to outdoor exposure, warping, yellowing, aging and staining!
Available in two colors: White or Almond… and in two finishes: Pebbled or Stucco
