CUSTOM WINDOWS

Our custom built vinyl windows are excellent energy saving features to have installed in your home. By significantly reducing the amount of heat being transferred through the glass, vinyl windows can help to lower your heating and cooling costs! Weather stripping also helps to seal out air leakage and moisture leakage at the window seams. Depending on the style of custom window you chose, new vinyl windows can increase air circulation and improve the air quality in your home.

One of the great things we love about vinyl windows is that they are famously easy to care for. Cleaning the interior and exterior of your vinyl windows requires no harsh chemicals. At Weaver, our custom built windows are much easier to maintain than traditional wood frame windows, and with our unique warranty, they’ll last for years.

Unique shapes and custom window designs can significantly improve your home’s curb appeal and resale value! A custom reading nook, or beautiful custom picture window adds character to any living space. Plus, with a wide range of vinyl colours and hardware finishes, your custom windows can be coordinated with your wall paint or your flooring colour.

Our windows are engineered and installed with a fully welded sash and frame, which vastly improves the longevity of the window by adding structural support. The corners of these windows are welded together to eliminate corner seams where elements most often enter your home. Fully welded sash and frame windows keep out moisture and prevent air leakage.

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.

At Weaver we offer our clients a wide variety of custom colours and finishes for vinyl windows to match both your style and decor! Our vinyl windows retain their vibrancy over time and they never need to be repainted. With plenty of colour variants to choose from, you can select the best shade to match your interior and exterior trim.

Window grilles are small intersecting aluminum bars that run vertically and horizontally on a window. The square and rectangular patterns that grilles create give the window a classic textured look. Grilles can be installed between two panes of glass, or they can be removable for easy maintenance. Simulated Divided Lite style grilles are installed on both sides of a pane of glass to create a traditional textured look of multiple glass squares fused together, without compromising the energy efficiency of a seamless piece of glass.

Encore Truth fixtures are the leading brand in window hardware. They offer several folding handles for casement windows and cam locks for single and double hung windows in a wide range of finishes. Both styles 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.

At Weaver we can custom build your windows with tinted glass options for added privacy. Available in a bronze or a gray tint, tinted glass reduces visibility from the exterior of your home by controlling the sun’s glare and reflecting it back outwards, providing you with excellent daytime privacy.

At Weaver, we’ve had a lot of experience with the extreme cold that Barrie is known for, so we offer a selection of cost effective glass options for keeping your home warm in the winter. Energy Advantage Low-E Glass has a high Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), meaning the glass absorbs and retains the sun’s heat while reflecting the heat from your furnace back into your home. Low-E Glass also works to prevent heat gain during the humid summer months.

We custom build windows for any room in your home, and some of those rooms may require privacy. We offer three different textured privacy glass options that create permanent privacy regardless of interior or exterior lighting conditions. Frosted, glue chip or satin glass are all customizable window glass options that are great for bathrooms, basements or bedrooms.

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

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 and move slowly between the 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.

The Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has issued a set of guidelines called the ENERGY STAR® Technical Specification for Residential Windows, Doors, and Skylights Sold in Canada. These guidelines determine the criteria that residential windows, doors, and skylights must meet to qualify for the ENERGY STAR initiative in Canada. Manufacturers who wish to promote their products as ENERGY STAR qualified must sign an agreement with NRCan and ensure that their products meet the specified criteria. This specification plays a crucial role in ensuring that energy-efficient products are available to Canadian consumers, and that manufacturers maintain high standards of quality and efficiency. More information regarding this can be found in the article.

The determination of energy efficiency standards for buildings and products in Canada relies on the heating degree day (HDD) values, which are used to establish climate zones. The Model National Building Code (2010) provides guidelines on the HDD values used to identify specific locations on a map. The purpose of these zones is to guarantee that buildings and products comply with the right energy efficiency standards for their location, ultimately reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. For more information, refer to this informative article.

Windows and doors must meet specific energy efficiency standards to receive the ENERGY STAR certification. The U-factor and Energy Rating (ER) are the two primary criteria used to determine energy efficiency. The U-factor measures the amount of heat lost through the window or door, while the ER considers the passive solar heat gain, overall heat loss, and air leakage of the product. A lower U-factor and higher ER indicate better energy efficiency. For more information, please read this informative article.

The trend of Canadian homeowners and businesses adopting energy-efficient practices and technologies is on the rise, as people seek to reduce energy consumption and costs while promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility. The Canadian government is also promoting energy efficiency through programs and policies like the Energy Efficiency Regulations, which set minimum energy performance standards for different products. As more people become aware of the advantages of energy efficiency and as technology improves, this trend is expected to continue.
