§ 01 · The material
What is an aluminum window?
Aluminum is a light, very rigid metal used to build the frame and the sashes. That rigidity allows frames much thinner than PVC: so more glass, and more light.
It’s the material of large glass surfaces and contemporary looks. It doesn’t rot, doesn’t warp and lasts for decades without weakening, even through our freeze-thaw cycles.
Its point to watch is insulation: metal conducts the cold. A good product includes a thermal break (an insulating barrier inside the frame) and high-performance glazing. That’s what sets an ENERGY STAR certified aluminum window apart from a low-end model.
- Thin, elegant frames

What is ENERGY STAR?
ENERGY STAR is an international energy-efficiency certification, administered in Canada by Natural Resources Canada. A certified door or window meets strict performance standards by climate zone. In Quebec, it’s also the condition to receive the Rénoclimat grant: $150 per opening replaced. We steer you toward certified, eligible products.
