Our windows are made from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, also known as uPVC. Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is similar to regular PVC in that it is also used for its resistance to moisture and durability - however, uPVC is even more durable than PVC, making it ideal as a high-quality, low-maintenance choice of material for your new windows.

In general, one of the strongest features of uPVC vinyl windows is that they require very little maintenance, and can be made in a wide selection of colours and styles.

Generally, hinged-sash windows, along with casement and awning windows, are considered to be the most energy-efficient styles of windows, due to the reliable, weather-tight seals they create when closed.

In addition, fibreglass-framed windows can offer your home the highest window R-value on the market, thanks to their triple-paned glass and Low-E coating capabilities.

Beyond these options, other energy-efficient types of windows include vinyl windows, along with composite-framed windows built with double-paned glass.

Both triple-paned glass and double-paned glass contain an inert gas between their panes called Argon. Argon gas doesn’t conduct cold or heat as well as regular air, making it a great insulator for your home as it keeps your indoor temperature stable.

Double-paned glass has one layer of Argon between its two panes of glass, while triple-paned windows contain two layers of Argon between their three panes of glass. This increase in Argon gas between frames amplifies the R-value of your windows, meaning the energy passing through your window is nearly zero, and your home loses virtually no heat or cool air.

Every 15-20 years or so, new window technology emerges in the Canadian market, making newer replacement windows that are more efficient at conserving energy an economic advantage for your window replacement project.

According to industry experts, replacing your old, drafty windows and doors can help you reduce your home energy bill by as much as 25% - but only if they are professionally installed by experts who know what they are doing.
