4 1/2″ PVC Bonded Frame
Our 4 1/2″ frame is more solid and lasts longer than the basic 3 1/4″ offered by most window suppliers out there. With our bigger frame, we are able to place the thermal pane more towards the inside of the home providing higher thermal protection as well as more solid product.
Multi-Chamber Construction
Our multi-chamber construction allows for superior thermal protection and also provides greater overall strength to the window resulting in a more efficient and more durable window.
Double-Glazed Low-E Argon Gas
We use Energy Star® certified double-glazed glass units that provide the highest levels of energy saving and home comfort and also provide protection against UV rays.
Triple Weather Seals
Our window seal is made up of three continuous layers that wrap seamlessly around the entire window. The co-extruded flexible PVC seals offer the highest degree of protection from air and water infiltration.
High Performance Edgetech© Foam Super Spacer
This non-metal structural foam spacer provides the lowest U-value among dual-seal systems and the best durability and thermal protection available in the industry.
Interior Wood Extension cladded with PVC
Our windows include an interior wood cladding that allows for the easy installation of blinds and other window treatments and results in greater window strength and durability.
High Gloss Finish
We use the highest grade PVC powder and fabrication techniques which result in a high gloss PVC finish. As a result our windows are easier to clean, more durable and won’t fade or yellow over time.
Decorative Cam Action Locks
Our decorative cam action locks are a one piece die-cast locking system that is anchored to a metal sash rail reinforcement to provide durability and exceptional security.
Coil Spring Constant Force Balance System
Our constant force balance system delivers a consistent lift through-out the entire travel of the window. This results in window operation which is smooth, quiet and easy to use. The system fills the entire cavity of the window to reduce air leakage.
Hybrid PVC and Aluminum Windows
Our Energy Star® certified windows are available in Classic White PVC which offers our highest energy efficiency ratings also can be built in a Hybrid PVC and Aluminum construction which comes in five distinct colours. These windows feature triple seal weather stripping to ensure an airtight fit, a sleek Encore operating crank that provides a smooth, effortless opening and a single pull-down multi-point lock for maximum security.
