a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

Tempered Glass
Float glass panels heated and then cooled rapidly in a controlled environment. This process makes the glass several times stronger than regular glass. It also makes it safer because when broken it yields small pebble-like fragments.

Template
A pattern of a window unit from which dimensions and measurements can be determined. Round Tops require templates for replacement units.

Terrace Door
An obsolete term that describes a specific line of inswing hinged doors. The product has been replaced by the Inswing French Door.

Three-Wide
Current term referring to any product or unit when three frames (i.e. separate jambs) are mulled together as a multiple unit.

Through Check
One extending from one surface through the piece to the opposite surface or to an adjoining surface.

Tight Knot
May be red or black, and is so fixed by growth, shape or position that it retains its place in the piece.

Tilt Pac
A specially designed made-to-order package which includes everything needed to replace double hung sash and hardware in an existing frame without changing the frame. This product has the same tilt feature as the Wood E-Z Tilt Double Hung.

Tongue and Groove (T&G)
Lumber that has been worked with a tongue on one edge of each piece and a groove on the opposite edge to provide a close tongue and groove joint by fitting two pieces together.

Transom
A window above a window or door. Transoms can be either stationary or operating.

Trimline Patio Door
A wood or clad replacement size patio door having two or three glass panels: one panel operates. TURN BUTTON - A vinyl or aluminum button and screw. Buttons are used to secure wood combinations, storm sash and wood screens to the exterior casing or energy panels to the sash or door panel.

Twist
A distortion caused by the turning or winding of the edges of a board so that the four corners of any face are no longer in the same plane.

Two-Wide
