The Comfort Series model 6100 single hung is a new generation window for Gerkin! After a decade of proven performance with our single hung, we found a way to make it even better! Here at Gerkin, we only make changes in our product to ensure better performance. Many competitors are working hard at seeing how cheap they can build a single hung. We believe our customers want a great value of quality and price. That’s why we build our windows to perform among the best in the industry. The 6500 window complements the 6100 single hung as a stand-alone fixed window or can be used to mull fixed and specialty shapes in order to create custom configurations.
The 6100 is highlighted by the use of a stylish 2 1/2" beveled frame design, fusion-welded sash and frame, and triple weather seals. We have designed this window to perform at a very high level through the use of multiple vinyl chambers, internal aluminum reinforcements, heavy-duty block and tackle balances, as well as warm edge technology glass! If you’re looking for a high performance single hung window with easy operation and low maintenance all at a great value, look no further than the Comfort Series 6100!
Value Added Features such as Mulling, Extension Jambs, Brick Mold and Specialty Shapes are also available - click here to read more.
