Before you select your window series, we recommend that you review the different operating styles available to determine which style will best suit your needs. Whether you’re looking for complete airflow control, a picturesque view, or a window that offers a light breeze, we’ve got the style for you. Some operating styles offering better energy efficiency than others, so remember to take into account your current climate and your energy performance needs.
Want something unique? We can work with you to put together a stunning combination of windows to suit your home.
Need a breeze but don’t want to let in rain or snow? You need an energy efficient awning window. These horizontally-hung casement windows swing outward upon opening, shielding you from the elements while providing good ventilation and constant airflow.
Everyone needs more space. Bay and bow windows allow you to expand an area in your home by extending beyond the wall, opening up any room.
Hinged on the side, casement windows swing outward like a door, providing excellent air circulation into your home. They are also one of the most energy efficient operating windows because of their tight seal when closed.
Enjoy a picturesque view with a fixed window. They don’t open but they do let in plenty of sunlight and offer a high level of energy efficiency.
Enjoy the view with a picture window, which has a low-profile frame to maximize glass surface, allowing a beautifully clear, unobstructed view. Like fixed windows, picture windows do not open.
Select a frame colour to match your home’s exterior. Keep it simple with a classic, elegant frame or enhance curb appeal with the addition of grilles or exterior brickmould (available depending on window series).
Options and finishes for window hardware are also available for most of our window series.

Installed between panes of glass, our Internal Grilles ensure your glass surfaces are smooth and easy to clean. We have a full selection of grilles to give your rooms that beautiful look of divided light.

Simulated Divided Lite (SDL) Grilles are installed on the exterior and interior of the glass surface to simulate the look of divided panes of glass, producing the beautiful look of divided glass without having to sacrifice energy performance.
Choose from a variety of SDL colours and sizes to suit your new window’s style.
Note: Colours are not exactly as shown.
Attached to the window and covering the gap between your home’s exterior and the window frame, brickmould can enhance curb appeal by allowing you to change out your current windows without disturbing the exterior of your home. Choose from a range of different colours and styles to add sophistication to the window’s regular frame.
Brickmould options may vary depending on product.
1 1/2” New Construction Brickmould available in White only

Glass performance is a significant factor in a window’s energy efficiency results. Different glass options have different benefits—considering your climate is recommended when selecting glass for windows. Remember that colder climates will require more insulation power and specific glass coatings to improve energy efficiency.
Did you know? ENERGY STAR® qualified windows can reduce your energy costs by up to 16%.
Argon Gas
Argon gas is an inert gas—non-toxic, clear and odourless. Used to fill the space between panes of glass, it minimizes convective currents reduces the chance of glass collecting frost on cold winter days.
Dual Clear Glass
Two panes of glass with no special coating applied. The panes are spaced a ½ inch apart and the air between the panes acts as an insulation barrier, making your windows more energy efficient.
Low-E
Low-E (low emissivity) is a clear coating that reduces heat loss by reflecting furnace heat back into a room, allowing lots of outside solar energy to pass into your home. In winter, it can even reduce the demands on your furnace. Low-E can offer 35%-105% better insulation when combined with dual/triple pane glass.
SunStop
SunStop uses two layers of Low-E coating to block out the sun’s heat, light and UV rays. Perfect for south and west-facing windows, this coating keeps your home cool in the summer and warmer in the winter with superior insulation performance.
Triple Pane
Also spaced a ½ inch apart, these three panes provide more insulation than dual pane when it comes to energy efficiency. Enjoy lower heating costs, virtually no condensation and an excellent sound barrier, giving your home added privacy.
All performance ratings are imperial for Centre of Glass (C.O.G.) and are based on Vision v4.0 simulations. All C.O.G U-and R- values are based on ASHREA Winter Conditions. Framing, cladding, frame type and other items will affect the overall thermal values of a complete window.
