FG72 is a full-range passive-grade window system covering all four major opening types — outward top-hung, outward casement, inward tilt-and-turn, and inward casement — in both single and double sash configurations. Built on a 72 mm GFRPU frame with Grade 9 wind resistance and Grade 8 airtightness, the FG72 achieves U-values down to 1.1 W/(m²·K) with warm-edge dual Low-E argon glazing, making it a versatile choice across residential and commercial passive projects.
