Casement windows offer optimal air flow and natural light
Casement windows feature a hinged sash that swings open to the outside of the home. These windows are operated with a “crank” handle mechanism. They are opened and closed with the turn of this crank. Casement windows are hinged and hang vertically whereas their counterparts — Awning windows — hang horizontally.
With hinged casement windows, the entire panel opens to offer ventilation. Depending on the placement of the window, the open panel can often act to catch a passing breeze and direct it into the home. Because there are no muntins, these windows offer a clean, unobstructed view.
- Unobstructed glass provides a clear view and natural light
- Ease of operation
- Entire sash opens for ventilation
- Ease of accessibility in hard to reach places
- Work well in areas where they won’t interfere with outdoor space
- Great for hard-to-reach spots and high places
- Nicely complement picture windows and work with bow windows
Microcellular PVC construction
Our fixed window frames, brickmoulds, and sashes are insulated with billions of closed microscopic cells for superior energy efficiency. They are fusion-welded as a single unit, preventing the air from moving between the window parts.
4-1/2” fusion-welded frame
Our windows come standard on a 4-1/2” deep frame, which is stronger and more durable than the standard 3-1/4” sold elsewhere. The deeper frames give extra dimensional stability and strength. It also allows for a lower sash profiles to maximize the glass surface.
Contemporary design
Our fixed windows feature a minimalist, slim profile that goes equally well with traditional and contemporary home designs.
Low-emissivity coated glass
An invisibly thin metallic coating is baked onto one or more of the glass pane surfaces, reflecting most of the heat in the form of infrared radiation back inside the home during winter and outside during summer, while letting most visible light pass through.
Argon gas filling
The air between the glass panes inside a thermal glass unit is replaced with argon. This inert, odourless gas is heavier than air, reducing convection between the panes and the associated heat loss through the insulated thermal glass unit. It also offsets water vapour to prevent condensation between the panes.
Ener-Edge® warm-edge spacer
Our thermal glass units use a cellular silicone warm-edge spacer with low thermal conductivity, minimizing heat transfer between the interior and the exterior. It also allows for the natural expansion and compression due to temperature changes without failing the seal between them.
Structural construction
Our multi-lite fixed windows feature structurally strong, seamless one-piece frames with integrated cross-mullions. It allows for more natural light to enter the interior, and offers better protection against drafts and water infiltration.
Triple weatherstripping
Window sashes use three distinct continuous seals at the interface with the stationary frame and mullions. This stops drafts and the associated heat leaks through the fixed window. The thermal glass unit is also sealed to the sash from both the inside and the outside.
Dual and triple-pane insulated glass units
Two or more layers of glass are joined to create a sealed hollow chamber that acts as a thermal buffer. This minimizes direct heat transfer through glass, and helps prevent condensation and ice build-up. It also helps soundproof the interior, in conjunction with a high-quality cellular spacer.
PVC-cladded interior wood extension
Our fixed windows accomodate a very securely fit interior wood extension cladded with a thick layer of no-maintenance PVC. It allows for the easy installation of blinds or 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.
Integrated brickmould (optional)
A brickmould that is part of the window frame creates a superior window assembly that continues the insulation outside, also adding to the fixed window strength. It doesn’t require capping – this means less chance of water and air leakage.
Low-profile nesting crank handle
The unique cover and handle design of our crank handle will differentiate your window from the rest. The full-flip folding handle recesses in the operator cover, giving your casement window a smooth, contemporary look, and minimizing interference with curtains and blinds.
NOVA® multi-point lock
The NOVA® Multi-point locking system is the most advanced and adaptable solution on the market. With a removable handle and cover, it offers optimized security, immense flexibilty, and effortless operation.
Dual-arm operator for sashes over 22”
Any sash over 22” wide comes with a heavy-duty, dual-arm operator. It provides maximum performance to open and close larger windows – with 33% less effort than other operators of its kind.
“One-Click”, easy-to-remove screen
Our smooth-edge, easy-to-remove “One-Click” screens are the easiest screens to operate in the industry. With their durable yet elegant aluminium finish, these screens won’t warp or break down over time like some of the competition.
Durable standard colours
Our fixed windows come in several standard colours that are engineered during the profile extrusion. Lighter tones are made with cap stock, meaning a layer of tinted PVC covering all exterior-facing surfaces. The darker tones are architectural-grade laminates that are UV reflective and extremely colourfast. Our standard colours are extremely UV and weather-resistant, and won’t peel, flake, or scratch like paint finishes.
More Efficient.
We build our windows for maximum indoor comfort, year-round. Our casement windows lead national charts with the highest Energy Rating (ER) with both double and triple-pane glass – in standard configuration!
Double Pane
Triple Pane
Stronger.
Our window frames, sashes, mullions, and brickmoulds are solid inside, which makes then stronger than the typical hollow chambers used in PVC replacement windows. All of our windows come standard with a 4.5” deep frame, 38% more than the industry standard of 3.25”. This makes them more rigid and help seal the wall opening better.
As a result, our awning windows achieve a whopping Performance Grade of 85, levels above the nearest competitors.
Performance Grade
Brighter.
The extra strength of microcellular PVC allows manufacturing our awning windows with slimmer frames and sashes. This adds an extra 1.5” of glass in each dimension compared to ordinary PVC windows. Our internal mullions are only 4.5” wide, as opposed to the usual 6-7”. And our glass is clearer. As a result, you get more glass, and more natural light inside your home.
Isn’t that why you get windows in the first place?
