Universal Series™ Window Wall

The world's first fiberglass window wall, the Universal Series™ Window Wall is based upon the standard Universal Series™ window system, then augmented with additional components to provide a full-facade high-rise glazing system.

Designed and manufactured in North America, the Universal Series™ Window Wall allows developers and architects to dramatically improve the overall thermal performance of buildings, without sacrificing glazing area.

• Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) available, based on Fenestration Assemblies Product Category Rule (PCR) release in 2023
• Passive House Institute (PHI) & Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) certified configurations
• Living Building Challenge Declare Red List Free and Energy-Star rated
• AW Performance Class designation (casements, awnings, fixed windows)
• Highest recognized water resistance rating (15 PSF)
• Available with double & triple-glazed Low-E insulated glass units (IGUs)

In 2024, Cascadia Windows & Doors published the first world’s first verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) report for Windows, Doors and Window Wall using the new Product Category Rules (PCR) published in 2023.

This milestone makes Cascadia Windows & Doors the first window manufacturer in the world to issue an EPD in accordance with the new PCR, underscoring the company’s commitment to transparency and the transition to high-performance building design.

• Most accurate information for embodied carbon comparison of windows, doors and window wall
• Third-party verified EPD report meeting ISO 14044, 21930:2017 and ISO 14025:2006 rules
• Valid through 2029

Fiberglass is an ideal structural material for window and door frames, which is why Cascadia has used a proprietary, high glass-fiber-to-resin formula for more than a decade. Beyond its high strength and thermal efficiency, Cascadia's pultruded, thermoset fiberglass frames contain roughly 58% recycled content, low VOC's and represents less embodied carbon compared to vinyl or aluminum.

• Boasts 100%-250% improved thermal performance compared to traditional aluminum windows, lowering heating and cooling costs
• Made from high resin-to-glass, thermoset fiberglass, the windows will not sag, weaken or creep over time
• Can withstand extreme temperatures (-40°F through 350°F, and higher) without becoming brittle or soft
• Made from non-organic, chemically inert pultruded fiberglass, the windows are not susceptible to corrosion, rot, insect damage or UV degradation
• Modelled lifespan of 50-80 years
