Potomac-hp Windows Offer Top-Rate Strength, Durability & So Much More
At Clearview Home Remodeling, were proud to offer a wide variety of top-quality vinyl replacement windows to meet every homeowners needs. Potomac-hp windows our premier line of vinyl windows offer a number of benefits to homeowners, including:
Remarkable Strength & Durability
Replacement windows need to be durable enough to stand up against the elements. A windows strength is demonstrated by its performance grade, which takes into account a number of factors, including:
- Structural performance
- Water penetration resistance
- Air infiltration resistance
- And much more
While the threshold performance grade for residential windows is R15, Potomac-hp windows offer an extraordinary R65 grade. Theyve even been shown to withstand 198-mph winds, a force 200 percent stronger than the industrys minimum requirement.
Outstanding Energy Efficiency
Its also important to choose home windows that are energy efficient, since doing so can improve comfort levels, reduce the strain on an HVAC system, and possibly even lower a households energy bills. A windows energy efficiency is often rated using an R-value, with a higher R-value indicating superior energy efficiency. Wooden window frames only offer a 4.4 R-value, while aluminum window frames have a shockingly low 0.35 R-value. Potomac-hp window frames, on the other hand, offer a 32.4 R-value, thanks to our innovative VyCore foam insulation.
Potomac-hp windows are also incredibly simple to operate, thanks to their state-of-the-art integrated sash lock and tilt system. This feature a hallmark of the Potomac-hp series allows homeowners to seamlessly operate the tilt latch and lock just by swinging a lever. Homeowners will also be glad to know that the integrated sash lock and tilt system provides greater resistance to forced entry.

Features & Options
Window Styles
Awning
Like our casement windows, our awning windows are incredibly secure, featuring a low-profile, single-lever, multi-point locking system thats easy to operate. If homeowners are concerned about handles interfering with blinds, curtains, or other window treatments, theyll be glad to know that our handles fold into a nested position, creating a clean, smooth appearance.
Plus, as part of our premium Potomac-hp series, our awning windows are remarkably strong. They offer an R65 performance grade (four times greater than the minimum requirement for residential windows) and are able to withstand 198-mph winds. And, with our innovative VyCore foam insulation, theyre also highly energy efficient.
Bay & Bow
Bay windows include three window panes, which project outward from the side of a house. The center pane is typically inoperable, while the two side panes can usually be opened and closed. Bow windows are similar to bay windows, in that they also project outward, but they include more window panes, creating a curved look.
Homeowners love bay and bow windows because of the elegance they bring to a room. Their outward projection visually enlarges the area and allows for more natural light to filter in. The configuration of the panes also creates a shelf area, which homeowners can use to display picture frames, plants, and other dcor. Plus, because bay windows can typically be opened on both sides, they allow for outstanding ventilation.
Casement
We manufacture all of our casement windows according to the high standards of our premier Potomac-hp window series. Our Potomac-hp windows are incredibly strong and durable, offering an R65 performance grade thats more than four times higher than the threshold grade for residential windows. In fact, theyve even been proven to stand up to 198-mph winds, making them 200 percent stronger than the minimum requirement for the industry.

Double Hung
Double Hung WindowsVytex Windows proudly manufactures and installs state-of-the-art double hung windows available in our Potomac-hp, Fortis, and Georgetown window series. Our double hung windows include impressive features that set them apart from the competition, such as a stainless-steel Constant Force balance system that allows for fingertip operation, making them up to 50 percent easier to operate than windows with other balance systems. Plus, with an integral interlocking system keeping them closed tight, our double hung windows are an excellent choice for homeowners concerned about security and weatherproofing.
Garden
Vytex Windows a leading manufacturer and installer of vinyl replacement windows is pleased to include picturesque garden windows in our Potomac-hp, Fortis, and Georgetown window series. Garden windows are similar to bay and bow windows they feature multiple panes of glass and project outward from the side of a house but theyre typically smaller and built in a more rectangular configuration using 90-degree angles.
Many homeowners enjoy having garden windows installed above their kitchen sink, where they provide lots of light and beautiful peripheral views of landscaping. True to their name, garden windows create the perfect spot to house herb gardens, potted plants, and other dcor. Plants will get plenty of light and, if theyre located above the kitchen sink, have easy, convenient access to water. Plus, with plants and dcor off the counter, homeowners will enjoy added space for other kitchen tasks.
Picture
Picture WindowsVytex Windows is the company to choose for top-of-the-line vinyl picture windows. Picture windows are typically large, inoperable, and built in a square or rectangular shape. Unlike bay, bow, and sliding windows, which each include multiple panes of glass, a picture window contains just one pane. We offer picture windows as an available style in our Potomac-hp, Fortis, and Georgetown window series.
Picture windows provide various benefits to homeowners. Because there is often nothing obstructing the glass or breaking apart sightlines, picture windows allow in a huge amount of natural light and provide spectacular views of the outdoors. Although some homeowners are hesitant to invest in picture windows because theyre concerned about sufficient ventilation, this issue is easily solved by adding accompanying windows that can open and close. Casement and double hung windows are popular choices to go alongside a picture window, and some homeowners also choose to have awning windows installed above.
Sliding
Vytex Windows a family-owned and -operated company thats been manufacturing and installing top-quality vinyl replacement windows since 1988 is pleased to offer state-of-the-art sliding windows as part of our Potomac-hp, Fortis, and Georgetown window series. Similar to double hung windows, sliding windows open and close by gliding along a track. But, whereas double hung windows include a vertical track allowing them to move up and down, sliding windows feature a horizontal track that allows them to move from side to side.
