MILITARY Installations looking to upgrade their Base Housing and other structures are faced with numerous challenges unique to their missions and operating locales. Energy Efficiency, Storm Protection and Security are paramount to these construction projects and with Vinyl Windows and Doors from Shwinco, all three are possible!
Building GREEN:
The Department of Defense has mandated the procurement of Green products for all of its replacement and new construction projects. “In every procurement action, the procurement request originator must justify a decision not to procure a green alternative in accordance with the requirements of the Federal green procurement preference programs. ...the justification must be based upon the inability to acquire the product in a timely manner, at a reasonable price, or to satisfy the technical/performance requirements.” - DOD Green Procurement Strategy
Shwinco products are EnergyStar rated, meet the new Energy Tax Credit standards and are 1000 times more energy efficient than aluminum products. Virtually maintenance free, they have no corrosion issues, offering impressive energy savings over the lifetime of any structure.

Many military installations are located in coastal regions prone to seasonal extreme weather. All Shwinco products are specifically designed to meet the unique demands of Coastal living and especially extreme weather like hurricanes.
