Universal Series™ Fixed & Operable Windows

Designed and manufactured in North America, the Universal Series™ windows use an innovative commercial-grade fiberglass frame. This frame delivers up to 250% better thermal performance than traditional aluminum windows. The high-performance design reduces heating and cooling costs, creating a more comfortable and resilient building.

• Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) published under the 2023 Fenestration Assemblies Product Category Rule (PCR)

• Red List Free per Living Building Challenge Declare and Energy-Star qualified
• Offered with double- and triple-glazed Low-E insulated glass units (IGUs)
• Certified to both Passive House Institute (PHI) and Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) standards

In 2024, Cascadia Windows & Doors released the world’s first verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for windows, doors, and window wall systems. The EPD follows the updated 2023 Product Category Rules (PCR).

With this milestone, Cascadia became the first fenestration manufacturer in the world to publish an EPD aligned with the new PCR. This reflects the company’s commitment to transparency and leadership in high-performance building product design.

Fiberglass is an ideal structural material for window and door frames. For over a decade, Cascadia has relied on a proprietary, high glass-fiber-to-resin formulation.

In addition to exceptional strength and thermal performance, Cascadia’s pultruded thermoset fiberglass frames incorporate approximately 58% recycled content. They have significantly lower embodied carbon levels than vinyl or aluminum alternatives, and their paint emits low VOCs.

• Offers 100%–250% greater thermal performance than conventional aluminum windows, reducing HVAC energy demand
• Manufactured from high glass-fiber-to-resin, thermoset fiberglass that resists sagging, warping, and creep over time
• Performs reliably in extreme temperatures (−40°F to 350°F and beyond) without becoming brittle or soft
• Comprised of non-organic, chemically inert pultruded fiberglass—resistant to corrosion, rot, UV degradation, and insect damage
• Low-VOC standard & custom colors, using Hydro Tuff water-borne urethane coatings, exceed AAMA 625 performance criteria and pass CDPH California Specification 01350 testing

• Modeled lifespan of up to 80 years
