Maximized structural strength and long-term stability. Welded corners on both frame and sash ensure durability, reduce movement over time, and improve air- and water-tightness. Living in Calgary means dealing with brutal freeze-thaw cycles and sudden Chinook winds that can rack a window sash in a single afternoon. A one-piece fusion weld keeps the geometry perfectly square, so the compression seal stays uniform and drafts never find a way in. You’ll feel fewer cold spots near the glass and spare yourself seasonal service calls for re-alignment.
Advanced insulation for year-round comfort. Low-E coated glass and argon gas between panes help retain indoor heat in winter and block outdoor heat in summer — cutting your energy bills and increasing comfort every season. Outfitted with 7/8″ Insulating Glass and Black “S” Class Super Spacer® for enhanced thermal performance. Optional triple glazing (1 ⅜″) available for even better insulation and soundproofing. Calgary sits 1 045 m above sea level, so UV levels are higher and solar gain is intense; the Low-E layer reflects that extra radiation while the warm-edge spacer reduces edge-of-glass condensation when the mercury plunges. Upgrade to triple pane and you may qualify for CHBA Net-Zero Ready incentives, adding resale value along with lower utility costs.
Precision-engineered hardware ensures your windows glide open and closed with minimal effort. No jamming, no stiffness — just silky movement you’ll appreciate every day. Nesting operators provide smooth opening and closing while the handle is contoured and ergonomic, blending into the window’s modern profile. Stainless-steel scissor arms shrug off the road-salt spray kicked up on winter commutes, and the low-profile crank folds flat so blinds sit flush — perfect for awning units installed above kitchen sinks or soaking tubs where leverage is limited. Rated for 10 000+ cycles, the mechanism will still feel brand-new long after lesser cranks seize from Calgary’s dusty Chinook winds.
Three layers of weather-stripping create a reliable seal that guards against drafts, moisture infiltration, and noise — so your home stays protected and peaceful. When a 100 km/h prairie gust slams into the sash, the flexible seals compress tighter, blocking wind-borne dust and pollen that ride every Chinook. The multi-point contact also dampens traffic noise from Stoney Trail, making your living room as quiet as a foothills retreat. By keeping humid indoor air from leaking into the glazing pocket, the triple seal reduces winter condensation and the mould that can follow.
A combination of co-extruded seals and a step-down frame keeps water outside — even in Calgary’s unpredictable storms. Say goodbye to hidden leaks and damage. Tape glazing system and co-extruded flexible exterior seals reinforce structural integrity and provide extra resistance against leaks. Because the glazing is bonded 360° to the sash, there are no voids for meltwater to pool, freeze and push the glass outward — a common failure on mechanically-set IGUs. The stepped profile also channels spring rain away from the weather-strip, so you can crack the awning for ventilation without worrying about a surprise hail squall soaking your sill.
