A constant-force coil balance lets the sash glide up and down without jerks, while the tilt-in mechanism means both panes wipe clean from indoors — perfect for multi-storey Calgary infills.
The sealed stainless-steel cartridge is cycle-tested beyond 20,000 openings, so the window still lifts with two fingers after years of dusty Chinook winds. Because the coil is encased, it never needs oil and won’t seize when winter condensation freezes. One quick latch releases the sash to tilt inside, letting you wash exterior glass from a warm room instead of hauling out a ladder on an icy driveway.
Corners on both frame and sash are heat-fused into a monolithic unit that resists warping, air leakage, and the prairie winds funnelled down from the Rockies.
Mechanical screws can loosen when temperatures swing 40 °C in a single day. Fusion welding eliminates those joints, so the frame flexes as one piece and the compression seal stays even. That means no whistle on 100 km/h gusts, no spider-cracks from hail impact, and far less risk of the tiny leaks that drive up heating bills and foster mould in drywall returns.
Premium 7/8″ insulating glass with Low-E coating, argon gas, and SuperSpacer® technology slashes heat transfer, keeping January heating costs and July A/C bills in check.
At 1,045 m elevation, Calgary’s UV index runs high; the Low-E layer bounces excess solar energy back outside, preventing south-facing rooms from turning into saunas. Argon—six times denser than air—dampens convective heat loss when the mercury drops to –25 °C. A warm-edge “S-Class” spacer curbs edge-of-glass condensation, so you don’t wake to frozen sills. Upgrade to 1 ⅜″ triple-pane to hit Canada Greener Homes rebate targets and future-proof your resale value.
A bulb-seal interior pocket, flexible co-extruded exterior seal, and full-perimeter gasket create three redundant barriers against wind-driven rain and snow-melt.
When a Chinook roars in, rising air pressure squeezes the soft gaskets tighter, blocking dust, pollen, and traffic noise from Deerfoot Trail. By keeping moist indoor air away from the cold glass edge, the triple seal virtually eliminates winter condensation streaks and the mildew that follows. You’ll notice a quieter, more comfortable living space—no matter how hard the prairie gusts blow.
Die-cast locks and closed-back keepers fortify the meeting rail, while matching exterior profiles align perfectly with other Glarior sliders for a seamless façade.
Solid-zinc hardware resists corrosion from road-salt spray and provides up to triple the forced-entry strength of stamped latches. Each turn of the cam lock also pulls the sashes snugly together, boosting the air-seal without extra effort. Because all sight-lines and accessory grooves match our casement and horizontal slider series, a whole-house window package looks planned—not pieced together over time.
