§ 01 · The material
What is a PVC window?
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a rigid plastic used to build the frame and the sashes of the window. It’s the most common material in Québec for residential replacement.
Its hollow structure, divided into several air chambers, gives it good insulating capacity. The frame needs no paint and no sealant: it keeps its look with a simple cleaning. It’s this mix of performance, price and simplicity that explains its popularity.
The glazing itself is independent from the frame material: double or triple, with a low-emissivity (low-E) coating and argon gas depending on the performance you’re after. We look at both with you, frame and glazing, so the window fits your home.
