We know that success involves much more than a superior product. That’s why we guarantee our hardware, window frames and sashes up to a lifetime. Our dependable and secure insulated glass unit is also covered for up to a lifetime. Permafinished components are under warranty for 10 years.
Our vigorous product certification ensures our windows and doors meet or exceed CSA approved standards and are also NFRC and AAMA certified. Our in-house testing facility also ensures our products achieve benchmark performance ratings.
