uPVC SYSTEM DESIGN

MULTI-CHAMBER DESIGN
Extruded vinyl windows were pioneered in the 1950's in Germany and have been used in Canada and the USA for over 40 years.  Today, they are the most popular windows used in the remodeling and new construction industry. We find many North American products influenced by European profiles which tend to be bulky and have few hollow chambers. North American companies adapted this concept by making the walls thinner without increasing the number of chambers.

Our extrusions have adopted neither of these principles but have been designed to maximize all of the PVC capabilities and made a window adapted to our difficult climate.

Our slimmer, multi-chamber profile offers many advantages over other European and North American profiles.

1. Because of its increased number of chambers our profile is as strong if not stronger than most existing profiles, while remaining slimmer and more aesthetic than the European profiles.

2. The multi-chamber structure makes the window less subject to distortions caused by temperature variations.

3. The multi-chamber profile is designed to trap air. This dead air, along with the use of uPVC, which is a non conductive material, combine to greatly reduce condensation problems. Dead air is one of the most effective insulators and uPVC has an insulation factor slightly superior to that of wood while its resilience property enables it to better absorb sound. Thermal insulation and sound proofing are therefore improved considerably. These properties are further increased by the multi-chamber design.
