Ply Gem® 1500 Vinyl Collection windows and patio doors featuring coextruded black interiors and exteriors.

Best-selling Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection windows and patio doors now feature a coextruded black interior and exterior. This coextrusion technology provides UV protection and exceptional durability, along with proven color retention and weather resistance as the color is integrated directly into the vinyl during manufacturing.

“Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection black windows can withstand the elements, and that’s important,” says Kate Land, Vice President of Product and Innovation, Aperture Solutions – U.S., Cornerstone Building Brands. “With dark colors especially, manufacturers need to account for heat absorption and potential material stress. It’s why this collection was made with coextrusion technology; the process layers UV inhibitors and reflective pigments right into the product to offer long-term resistance to weathering and heat buildup.”

Beyond color, the Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection is designed to contribute to overall energy efficiency with a range of glass packages. From Low-E for solar heat deflection to HPMax triple-pane for ultimate thermal efficiency, they provide homeowners with long-term value and comfort. The 1500 Vinyl Collection can be ordered with ENERGY STAR^® certification for any climate zone.

New black interior and exterior options in the Ply Gem 1500 Vinyl Collection, now available through the AccuQuote ordering system, combine bold design with trusted quality, helping homebuilders deliver on-trend solutions their customers can depend on.
