Our UPVC doors showcase traditional multi-panel construction with precision-molded raised or recessed panels that create visual depth and architectural interest. The panels are integrated directly into the door’s structural framework, eliminating weak points and potential failure areas common in assembled doors. This unibody design ensures consistent thermal performance across the entire door surface. In Calgary’s climate, where temperatures can plummet to -40°C and soar during Chinook winds, this seamless panel integration prevents thermal bridging and maintains structural stability. The door won’t develop gaps, warps, or panel separations that compromise security and energy efficiency over decades of prairie weather exposure.
UPVC glazed entry doors incorporate double or triple-pane insulated glass units with Low-E coatings and argon gas fills for maximum thermal performance. The glazing systems feature warm-edge spacers and structural glazing compounds that maintain airtight seals under extreme temperature cycling. Various configurations include full-length sidelights, decorative glass inserts, and transom windows that flood entryways with natural light. This matters in Calgary where winter daylight is precious and summer glare needs control. Our glazed doors block 99% of harmful UV rays while allowing beneficial natural light, reducing heating costs in winter and cooling costs during hot summer days while protecting interior furnishings from fading.
UPVC French doors feature twin panels with reinforced center mullions and coordinated hardware systems that create wide, welcoming openings. Each panel operates on heavy-duty hinges rated for thousands of cycles, with adjustable compression points that maintain weatherproof seals. The center meeting rails incorporate magnetic weatherstripping and multiple compression zones for superior air and water infiltration resistance. Calgary’s intense wind conditions, including sudden Chinook gusts exceeding 100 km/h, demand doors that stay sealed and secure. Our French door systems distribute wind loads across both panels and the reinforced frame, preventing rattling, air leakage, and hardware loosening that plague inferior installations.
UPVC sliding door systems utilize precision-engineered track assemblies with stainless steel ball bearing rollers and integrated drainage channels. The multi-point locking mechanisms engage at head, sill, and multiple jamb locations for security equivalent to traditional hinged doors. Weatherstripping systems include primary and secondary seals with integrated water management that prevents ice buildup and moisture infiltration. In Calgary’s freeze-thaw cycles, inferior sliding doors bind, leak, or fail completely. Our heavy-duty track systems and thermal breaks prevent ice formation while maintaining smooth operation from -30°C winter mornings through +25°C summer afternoons, with hardware rated for decades of reliable daily use.
Composite UPVC doors combine reinforced polymer frames with engineered wood cores, decorative glass, and metal accents to achieve custom appearances without compromising performance. The composite construction maintains UPVC’s weatherproof properties while adding design flexibility through varied textures, colors, and architectural details. Advanced bonding techniques ensure all materials expand and contract uniformly under temperature stress. Calgary’s extreme seasonal temperature swings of 60°C or more challenge any multi-material system. Our composite doors undergo thermal cycling tests that simulate decades of Calgary weather, ensuring laminated surfaces won’t delaminate, wood cores won’t separate from frames, and decorative elements remain securely bonded through countless freeze-thaw cycles.
