Architectural Shaped Windows are where imagination meets engineering — delivering dramatic aesthetics without compromising performance. These fixed windows come in a wide range of geometric shapes, from gentle arches and half-moons to triangles, trapezoids, and full circles. While they’re often used to create visual focal points in modern or traditional homes, they also serve a vital functional purpose by enhancing natural light, thermal insulation, and architectural harmony.
Unlike operable windows, shaped models are sealed units — which means fewer moving parts, no drafts, and greater structural integrity. Thanks to advanced materials like fusion-welded frames, triple-pane glass, and premium spacers, these windows help maintain consistent indoor temperatures — a crucial feature in Calgary, where the mercury can plummet below –30°C in winter and jump to +15°C during a sudden Chinook.
Their versatility allows homeowners and designers to integrate them in transoms, stairwells, entryways, or high cathedral ceilings, letting daylight flood in without sacrificing privacy. And while they’re often seen as design elements, they’re anything but fragile. Every window is engineered to withstand strong prairie winds, resist condensation, and meet ENERGY STAR® certification standards — so beauty doesn’t come at the cost of durability or energy bills.
At Glarior, we don’t just install windows — we specialize in custom-fitted installation and expert replacement of architectural shaped windows. Every unit is measured, fabricated, and fitted with precision to match your home’s structural contours and design vision. From angled walls to arched headers, we ensure flawless integration, complete sealing, and long-term performance — so your window looks like a masterpiece and acts like a fortress against Calgary’s elements.
Every shaped window is made-to-order, crafted to your exact specifications and vision. Whether you need a sweeping arch over a grand entrance or a compact triangle to brighten an attic, architectural windows are available in nearly every geometric form — circles, octagons, trapezoids, and beyond. These windows are fabricated to fit perfectly into unique wall cutouts or be combined with other window types for a striking visual arrangement. The result is a cohesive look that enhances both curb appeal and natural lighting. In Calgary, where modern infill homes and heritage facades often meet, this flexibility ensures a tailored solution for every architectural style — without compromising energy performance.
Seamless fusion-welded corners provide unmatched frame strength and longevity. By eliminating mechanical fasteners or seams, these frames create a continuous, solid structure that won’t split, separate, or loosen over time. The welded corners not only boost durability but also improve thermal efficiency by reducing potential points of air infiltration. That’s a critical edge in Calgary, where subzero temperatures and wind gusts exceeding 100 km/h are common during winter. Fusion-welded frames maintain their integrity regardless of seasonal shifts — preserving both your home’s comfort and the window’s ENERGY STAR® rating.
Advanced insulating glass units deliver peak performance in every season. Each architectural window includes a high-performance “S” Class Super Spacer® and 7/8” insulating glass with Low-E coating and Argon gas as standard. For maximum protection, optional 1 3/8” triple glazing is also available. This multi-layered construction dramatically reduces heat transfer and minimizes condensation buildup along the glass edge. In Calgary’s volatile weather — from –30°C mornings to sudden +10°C Chinook thaws — this thermal barrier ensures your indoor climate stays stable and your energy bills low. These upgrades aren’t just luxuries — they’re essential for year-round efficiency.
A co-extruded flexible seal and tape glazing system protect against leaks and air intrusion. This dual-seal design locks out moisture while providing expansion flexibility as temperatures shift. Unlike rigid seals that crack in cold, this flexible barrier adapts to pressure changes and thermal expansion — preserving the airtight integrity of your window for years. Especially in Calgary’s climate, where snowmelt during a sudden Chinook can turn to freeze overnight, these features prevent warping, condensation, and costly water damage around the frame. That means less maintenance and better peace of mind.
Built-in exterior drainage channels are discreet yet effective. Hidden from view, these channels safely direct water away from the window structure, reducing the risk of pooling, leakage, or ice dams. They prevent moisture from penetrating the frame during storms or when snow accumulates on sills. In Calgary’s freeze-thaw cycles, this feature becomes indispensable — helping avoid swelling, cracking, or mold formation in vulnerable areas. With drainage designed into the window, performance stays high and exterior aesthetics remain clean and undisturbed.
