BAY WINDOWS

Bay windows come in a wide range of versatile, energy efficient options. From triple glazed, to tinted to argon gas filled, vinyl windows work hard to create natural light while saving you money on your energy bills. By reflecting heat outwards in the summer and reflecting heat inwards in the winter, vinyl windows are the best way to make your home more efficient and increase your curb appeal.

At Weaver, vinyl windows come in a variety of colour variants that won’t fade over time. They’ll stay bright and vibrant and you will never need to repaint them. Additionally, vinyl windows do not require strong solvents to clean. Mild soaps are actually better for your vinyl windows as abrasive solvents can decrease the life of the weatherstripping.

At Weaver, we want our clients to have a hasslefree experience with their window installations, which is why we offer a selection of 14 different colours for vinyl windows, so that you’ll have an easy and enjoyable time coordinating the colour scheme of your interior and exterior space!

Spacers can further improve the energy efficiency of your bay window. As the name suggests, warm edge spacers work to prevent heat loss at the edges of the window. Engineered to gently flex in response to the hot and cold temperatures of the outside environment, warm edge spacers can also prevent moisture from entering your home at the edges.

Wholesale prices are available on custom windows. Give us a call or use our interactive quoting tool and a member of our sales team will be in touch to provide you with a quote.

At Weaver we are proud to offer our customers a unique Lifetime Warranty on our products.

Window grilles run horizontally and vertically on the surface or between panes of window glass. This creates the appearance of multiple small squares of glass fused together. Installing removable grilles or installing grilles between the glass means that cleaning your bay windows is easy! We also offer Simulated Divided Lite grilles which are attached to both sides of the glass, giving the exterior of your home an element of texture without compromising the energy efficiency of the window.

Bay windows create beautiful accent spaces in your home that allow large amounts of warm, natural light to enter your home. Installing a window bench is a great way to increase your home’s resale value while providing you with a space to relax with a book, or keep a few house plants. Window seats come in a variety of finishes to match your window trim and decor.

Head and seat refers to a style of bay window, specifically the top and bottom panels that create the base of the windows seat. Head and seat boards make bay windows easy installations in new construction or renovation situations. We offer window jambs in a range of finishes and install them to ensure the window depth matches the depth of your wall. of your wall.

In order to coordinate best with the shade of window vinyl you choose, we also offer Encore Truth window hardware in a variety of colours and styles. The leading brand in security and function, Encore Truth locks and handles use up to 33% less effort to operate. With sleek flip-folding styles that won’t get tangled in your window blinds, Encore Truth hardware performs better than any other brand.

Tinted glass is an energy efficient glass option that also provides you with daytime privacy. During the day tinted glass controls glare from the sun and reflects it outwards, which greatly reduces visibility from the exterior. Available in gray or bronze, tinted vinyl windows are a great modern accent for any home.

We know Barrie, and we know what kind of temperatures the winter brings. We are proud to offer a selection of cost effective Low-E glass options for our clients in the greater Barrie area. Energy Advantage Low-E glass has a high Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) which absorbs and reflects the sun’s heat. A benefit in the summer, it reflects heat outwards and keeps your house cool. In the winter Low-E glass reflects your furnace’s heat back into a room, reducing heat loss and keeping your costs low.

Unlike standard single pane windows, Weaver’s double glazed vinyl windows have two panes of glass to help reduce condensation, reduce noise and reduce heat loss and heat transfer during the winter and summer months. Adding an extra layer of insulated protection can vastly improve your home’s energy efficiency.

Argon and Krypton are slow moving, colourless and odourless gases that can be used to fill the space between window panes. These non-toxic gases act as insulation, moving slowly between the panes of glass to reduce thermal heat transfer through the window. Argon or Krypton filled windows are a great way to improve your home’s overall energy efficiency.

In Canada, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has issued a set of guidelines known as the ENERGY STAR® Technical Specification for Residential Windows, Doors, and Skylights, which outlines the criteria for participating in the ENERGY STAR program. The guidelines specify the requirements that manufacturers of residential windows, doors, and skylights must meet to be eligible for the ENERGY STAR label. Manufacturers must enter into an agreement with NRCan and ensure that their products meet the stated criteria. This specification is crucial in ensuring that energy-efficient products are available to Canadian consumers and that manufacturers maintain a high level of quality and efficiency. More on this can be found in the linked article.

In Canada, climate zones are determined by measuring heating degree day (HDD) values. These values are used to set energy efficiency standards for buildings and products. The Model National Building Code (2010) provides a map that classifies specific locations based on their HDD values. The zones are important in ensuring that buildings and products meet the energy efficiency standards required for their location, ultimately leading to a reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. For more information, refer to this informative article.

In order to receive the ENERGY STAR certification, windows and doors are required to meet specific energy efficiency standards that take into account two key factors: the U-factor, which gauges the amount of heat lost through the product, and the Energy Rating (ER), which evaluates the overall heat loss and air leakage as well as the passive solar heat gain. Better energy efficiency is indicated by a lower U-factor and a higher ER. For more information, refer to this informative article.

The trend of using energy-efficient practices and technologies in homes and businesses is on the rise in Canada. This trend is being driven by the need to save on energy costs, as well as to promote environmental responsibility and sustainability. The Canadian government is also playing a role in promoting energy efficiency through programs and policies like the Energy Efficiency Regulations, which set minimum energy performance standards for different products. As technology improves and people become more aware of the benefits of energy efficiency, this trend is expected to continue.
