SLIDER WINDOWS

Double sliding windows can update the look of your home while enhancing its energy efficiency and reducing your heating and cooling costs. With a wide selection of insulated glass options, keeping out the extreme cold in the winter won’t be a challenge. Weather stripping also works together with insulated glass to further prevent air leakage in the winter and summer, and also helps prevent moisture and humidity from entering your home.

Vinyl windows are characteristically easier to maintain than older wooden frame windows. With the proper weather stripping, vinyl windows prevent moisture from entering your house at the seams, and because the frames are synthetic they won’t ever rot or deteriorate. At Weaver we also offer several vinyl colour variants that won’t fade or ever need to be repainted.

Horizontal sliding windows are a great natural light source to install when you have a wide swath of wall space to work with. We can custom fit vinyl windows to virtually any dimensions. We also offer a wide selection of colours, grilles and hardware to choose from, all in classic colours and textures that won’t go out of style. So whether you want a bolder accent or a softer accent, at Weaver we have whatever you need to match or enhance your home’s decor.

Our vinyl slider windows are built with air sealing technology to reduce air infiltration and prevent water leakage. These insulated window frames help to maintain a constant indoor atmosphere and increase your comfort. Reducing uncontrolled air leakage will not only extend the longevity of the window, but also the house itself by helping to minimize the indoor accumulation of 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.

At Weaver we are pleased to be able to offer a wide selection of colour variants for vinyl windows. With a multitude of shades to choose from, these vibrant tones won’t fade over time and never need to be repainted. At Weaver you are able to select a colour tone that matches your interior and exterior trim, so you never have to compromise on your dream home makeover.

Window grilles run vertically and horizontally over window panes to create the appearance of smaller square panes of glass. On modern vinyl windows, grilles help create texture on the exterior of a home which adds to the overall aesthetic. Grilles can be removable or they can be fitted in between the panes of glass for easy cleaning and maintenance. Grilles can also be installed on both the inside and outside of a window pane. This style is called Simulated Divided Lite, and it creates the look of several joined panes of glass without compromising the energy efficiency of the window.

At Weaver we offer the best selection of window hardware to protect and secure your home. Encore Truth hardware provides top of the line security and is exceptionally user friendly. Encore Truth Cam locks are installed to line up perfectly with window sashes to limit air infiltration and are available in several sleek designs and finishes.

Tinted window glass can improve your privacy during the day. Gray and bronze tinted glass controls the sun’s glare by reflecting it back outwards, minimizing visibility from the exterior of your home. These window tints create a modern look and add privacy without reducing the amount of natural light entering your space.

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 Barrie’s humid summers.

Frosted, satin and glue chip glass are all options for textured privacy glass. These glass textures provide permanent privacy regardless of interior light or exterior glare, making them perfect window installations for basements or bathrooms.

Unlike standard window panes, we install double glazed vinyl windows that have two panes of glass to help reduce condensation, and reduce heat loss and heat transfer during the winter and summer. Adding that extra layer of insulated protection can vastly improve your home’s energy efficiency.

Argon and Krypton are non-toxic, colourless gases that can be used as insulation between the panes of glass in a window. Argon and Krypton move slowly between the glass panes to reduce the amount of thermal heat transfer through the window. This means that the heat from your furnace doesn’t pass through the glass in the winter, and the sun’s heat doesn’t enter your home in the summer.

In Canada, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has issued a set of guidelines called the ENERGY STAR® Technical Specification for Residential Windows, Doors, and Skylights. These guidelines determine the criteria that residential windows, doors, and skylights must meet in order to be promoted as ENERGY STAR qualified. Manufacturers are required to sign an agreement with NRCan and ensure that their products meet these criteria to be considered for the ENERGY STAR label. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that energy-efficient products are accessible to Canadian consumers and that manufacturers are held to high standards of quality and efficiency. More information can be found in this article.

Canada's climate zones are determined by the amount of heating degree days (HDD) and are utilized to establish energy efficiency standards for buildings and products. The HDD values are specified in the Model National Building Code (2010) to categorize various locations on a map. These zones guarantee that buildings and products comply with the appropriate energy efficiency standards for their location, thereby minimizing energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Check out this informative article.

In order to receive the ENERGY STAR certification, windows and doors must fulfill specific criteria for energy efficiency. The key determinants of this are the U-factor, which measures heat loss through the window or door, and the Energy Rating (ER), which assesses the product's passive solar heat gain, overall heat loss, and air leakage. A lower U-factor and a higher ER indicate superior energy efficiency. Further details can be found in this informative article.

The trend of adopting energy-efficient practices and technologies in Canada is on the rise among both homeowners and businesses. This is due to the aim of reducing energy consumption and costs while promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility. The Canadian government has also played a role in promoting energy efficiency through programs like the Energy Efficiency Regulations, which sets the minimum energy performance standards for different products. This trend is anticipated to continue as more individuals become aware of its advantages, and technology continues to advance.
