Awning Windows
This casement / awning window has a natural elegance that adds a distinctive look, at once classical and contemporary, to practically any home design, traditional or modern. Casements and awnings, with their open view unobstructed by cumbersome sash rails, are actually the world’s oldest working window systems.
Specifications:
- • Hinges on the side, allowing an outward opening along a horizontal axis
- • Crank Opening
- • Allows good ventilation and can be left open when it rains
- • Superior performance (cold cut compression)
- • Exclusive compound of PVC providing better resistance to shocks and fading
Multichamber design
More chambers than any competing product. Provides superior thermal insulation and sound reduction. Guaranteed outstanding resistance to warping and crushing (minimizing the likelihood of seal failure and gas loss).
Stylish sash
Optional inside and outside design accessories for a neat finish.
Fusion-welded corners
Give a more attractive appearance, enhance solidity, and eliminate the need for adhesives and sealants.100% watertight and airtight
Triple-layer weather stripping
Provides superior insulation, virtually eliminating air, water, dust, and dirt infiltration. Easily replaceable if needed thanks to the groove.
Optional low-E double or triple glazing with argon gas
For increased energy efficiency.
Interior glazing bead
Designed to withstand extreme conditions
Exclusive anchoring system for opening/locking mechanisms
Specially designed mounting screws installed through a minimum of two PVC walls for reliable, durable, and secure fastening.
Choose the Right Glazing
Double glazing, triple glazing, filled with inert gas (argon), glazing covered with a Low-E film. The options are numerous, all aiming to make rhyme glazing with energy efficiency, comfort, soundproofing and great satisfaction. Other options will allow you to accentuate the aesthetics of your windows: tinted glasses, frosted glasses, tiles, integrated blinds, etc.
Here is some information and advice that will help you make the right choice between the number of lenses and the options available:
Double Glass
Composed of 2 panes, an interlayer, a Low-E film and argon gas, this option is the most popular (with good reason) because it offers very good energy efficiency without spending a fortune.
Triple Glass
This time, consisting of three panes, this configuration provides better thermal performance as well as an increase in the temperature of the inner window which increases the comfort and reduces the effect of condensation. The triple glazing also provides a significant improvement for reducing traffic noise.
The choice of a triple glazing is therefore made when your budget allows it or when the external conditions really require it (ex: window facing north with extreme temperatures in winter, climatic zone most in the north of Canada, proximity to an Airport etc)
Laminated
The laminated thermos maintains the energy properties of the double glass thermos while considerably reducing the external noise.
Tinted glass
Increases intimacy without obstructing the view. Basically, it doesn’t affect visibility from inside the home, but greatly reduces visibility into the home. It’s important to note that this type of glass significantly reduces the thermal gains of a window, which affects its energy performance.
Tempered
Tempered glass is a safety glass. When broken, tempered glass will burst into many small pieces to reduce the risk of blessings. This glass is also 4 to 5 times more resistant to impact than a regular glass.
Frosted
Frosted glass is a conventional glass that has been treated with sand or acid to create a satin surface effect. Thus, even if it remains translucent, this glass makes it possible to hide slightly the view towards the inside as the outside.
Standard:
-White
-Beige
Not standard:
You can customize your windows with a wide range of colors.
Colors "Gentek": (Button to PDF)
They are of obvious aesthetic interest, but reduce the glazed area and can impact the energy efficiency of the window. Think about it!
