Each year as the Christmas season rolls around, I take the opportunity to reflect on the year gone by. As we wrap up 2018 and move into 2019, all of us here at Westeck would like to take a moment to show appreciation for our partner builders, home owners, architects, and designers we have had the pleasure of working with this year, as well as to all our fellow team members.
Here at Westeck Windows and Doors, we want to take the opportunity to wish all of our faithful online readers a Happy Canada Day on July 1!
Modern design homes demand large windows, patio openings and doors, yet these critical components can account for 30-40% of a home’s heat loss. With soaring energy costs, environmental and sustainability issues, window and door thermal performance is a key consideration in today’s home design.
It’s true, every window and door with glass in it comes with the sealed unit with about 95% argon gas in it. With today’s thermal performance requirements these products use every available technology to reach these increasingly challenging performance depths. The lower the U value the better the thermal performance.
Visitors at the Buildex Tradeshow were able to take part in a demonstration of Western Window System’s 90 Degree Multislide in action, noted the view this Patio Opening creates. What most people mention when they first see this beautiful patio opening “Look at that-full unobstructed view!”
