Air Infiltration Performance
The DYC Series 8200/8800 single hung thermally-broken aluminum windows have a remarkably low air infiltration rate of .03 CFM — FIVE times more airtight than the industry average of residential vinyl windows. It would take FIVE DYC 8200/8800 Series windows to leak as much air as ONE typical residential vinyl window.
