CASEMENT WINDOWS

Insulated glass window-panes prevent heat loss in the winter because they have slow-moving non-toxic gases moving between the panes. This reflects the heat from your furnace back into your home in the winter and reflects the sun’s heat back outwards during the hot humid summer. Vinyl casement windows provide the tightest seal against heat loss and air infiltration because they seal and lock so tightly into the window frame.

One of the great things we love about vinyl windows is that they are famously easy to care for. With casement windows, cleaning the inside only requires that you remove the screen. For cleaning the exterior of the window, you need only open the window slightly and reach around to the outside surface. Vinyl casement windows don’t need strong cleaning chemicals, but rather they can be washed with a mild soap.

Whether it’s texture or colour, at Weaver we offer a wide selection of vinyl window components to match your decor. We offer classic colours as well as functional, stylish window hardware. We can also custom fit windows to almost any dimensions. So whether you are coordinating with your wall colour or flooring, we have the styles that will suit you.

At Weaver, our windows are engineered and installed with a fully welded sash and frame. This provides structural support and improves the longevity of the window. With fully welded sash and frame windows, the corner joints are welded together which eliminates seams and creates the tightest seal possible against air leakage and moisture.

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. For no extra charge, we cover all window components including hardware, window frames and sashes, insulated glass, and even accidental glass breakage. The Weaver Lifetime Warranty is how we go above and beyond to care for our customers.

We are pleased to offer vinyl casement windows in a variety of colours and shades to match your decor. From soft earthy tones to bolder shades, coordinating with your wall paint or flooring colour is simple. With many colour variants to choose from, vinyl windows retain their vibrancy and never have to be repainted.

Windows grilles run horizontally and vertically, over or through panes of window glass. This creates the appearance of multiple small squares of glass fused together. Installing removable grilles or installing grilles in between the glass means that cleaning your casement 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.

Encore Truth handles are the leading brand in window hardware. They offer several folding handles for casement windows that can be tucked away when not in use, for a modern look that doesn’t get caught on window coverings. Encore Truth hardware provides exceptional security and their innovative designs use up to 33% less effort to operate.

Tinted vinyl window glass provides day time privacy that prevents people from seeing into your home from outside. Tinted in either a bronze or gray tone, tinted glass controls the sun’s glare and reflects it back outwards to reduce visibility. These tinted tones allow for natural light to easily pass through and brighten your space, while giving the exterior a modern look.

Here at Weaver we’ve had quite a bit of experience dealing with the extreme cold temperatures in Barrie. That’s why we provide a selection of Energy Advantage Low-E glass options that will help lower your heating and cooling costs. Low-E glass has a high Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), which means the glass reflects heat outwards in the summertime and also reflects your furnace’s heat back into your home in the wintertime. Energy Advantage Low-E glass will keep you comfortable, no matter the weather.

Textured glass is a good option to consider for basement casement windows. Unlike tinted glass, textured glass provides permanent privacy regardless of interior or exterior light. Textured glass such as satin, frosted or glue chip also work wonderfully well for bathroom windows.

Another way Weaver can help you reduce your home energy costs is by offering double glazed windows as well. Perfectly suited for the winters here in Barrie, double glazed vinyl windows have two layers of glass for noise reduction and insulated protection against heat loss. The panes are separated and sealed to prevent condensation.

Argon and Krypton are naturally occurring noble gases that can be used as insulators between window glass. Odourless and colourless, these gases move slowly between the window panes to reduce thermal heat transfer through the window. They work to reduce your energy costs by minimizing heat loss in winter and heat gain in the summer.

In Canada, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has created a set of guidelines called the ENERGY STAR® Technical Specification for Residential Windows, Doors, and Skylights. These guidelines are important for determining the qualifications required to be promoted under the ENERGY STAR program. The specification sets out the standards that must be met by manufacturers of residential windows, doors, and skylights in order to receive ENERGY STAR certification. Manufacturers must sign an agreement with NRCan and ensure that their products meet the specific requirements to receive the ENERGY STAR label. This specification is important for ensuring that Canadian consumers have access to energy-efficient products that meet high standards of quality and efficiency.

In Canada, climate zones are determined by heating degree day (HDD) values that are used to establish energy efficiency standards for buildings and products. The Model National Building Code (2010) provides guidelines for HDD values that classify different areas on a map. These climate zones aim to guarantee that buildings and products comply with the applicable energy efficiency standards for their location, thus decreasing energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Check out this informative article for more information.

In order to receive the ENERGY STAR certification, windows and doors must meet specific standards for energy efficiency. The U-factor and Energy Rating (ER) are the key factors used to determine this, with the U-factor measuring the amount of heat lost and the ER assessing overall heat loss, air leakage, and passive solar heat gain. Improved energy efficiency is indicated by a lower U-factor and higher ER. Refer to this informative article for more information.

The Canadian Energy Efficiency Trends indicate a growing inclination among both residential and commercial property owners towards energy-efficient methods and technologies. This shift is motivated by the need to cut down on energy expenses and consumption, and simultaneously promote sustainability and environmental consciousness. The Canadian government has also been actively encouraging energy efficiency by implementing programs and policies like the Energy Efficiency Regulations, which set benchmarks for energy performance for diverse products. As people become more cognizant of the advantages of energy efficiency and technology advances further, this trend is anticipated to persist and expand.
