Made to your openings

-
Installed and sealed
Trusted partners, or your own crew after our training, fit each window in the wall opening and seal it against air and water.
Why installation matters
-
Poor installation wastes a good window
Gaps and weak seals let heat and water through, whatever the window.
-
Specified in writing
We specify the system, opening types and finish, and put it in writing.

A realistic schedule
We give you a realistic schedule for your build or renovation.
uPVC and aluminum systems
Choose a uPVC series or an aluminum system, then the opening types, glazing, hardware and accessories.
Glazing for Michigan winters
Triple glazing is standard on Performant 88 and Comfort 76, with U-factors from 0.12.
Multi-chamber frames
Our uPVC profiles have five to seven chambers that slow heat loss.
How we anchor the frame
Each frame is screwed into the wall structure through its steel reinforcement, at set points all around the frame. This is our typical layout.
- At the corners
- The first fixing about 6-3/4" (170 mm) from each corner of the frame.
- At a mullion
- One fixing on each side of a mullion, about 6-3/4" (170 mm) from it.
- Between fixings
- No more than about 25-5/8" (650 mm) apart.
- Frame screws
- 7.5 x 112 mm (about 5/16" x 4-7/16") frame screws, through the steel reinforcement chamber of the frame into the structure.
- The joint
- A joint of about 1/16" to 1/8" (2 to 3 mm) between frame and wall, sealed.
- Lift & slide doors
- The sill is not screwed, only sealed; the head and the jambs are fixed.
- Other fixings
- Comfort 76 Plus frames can also be fixed with mounting dowels through the steel, with classic fixing brackets, or with dowels set in a dedicated chamber of the uPVC profile. Installation is quick and clean.
- Nail flange
- Comfort 76 Plus frames can be ordered with an optional PVC nail flange.
Typical; final layout per opening and wall. We set the exact fixing points for each opening when we measure.
