Awning Windows

Awning windows provide functionality and at the same time integrate perfectly as an element of the overall home design. Awning windows open from the lower base, allowing air to pass freely into the home.

One advantage of the awning window is that when opened the window acts as a canopy to keep rain out. Loyal Seal offers Awning Windows in single, stacked or side-by-side styles. Loyal Seal also feature unique design and planning necessary to keep awning windows functioning without a flaw.

Glazing

It has been said that windows are the eyes of the home, giving occupants the opportunity to bring the outdoors into their home. Although natural daylight and scenic views add beauty to your indoor environment, this allows the harsh elements to enter as well. From blistering heat to frigid cold your windows could expose you to higher energy costs and damaging UV exposure. In-efficient windows can add 30 to 40% to your yearly heating and cooling costs. Our insulated line of glazing options will allow you to prevent any extra costs occuring from your windows.

Double Pane – double strength glass is standard in our insulated units along with Low-e 2 and Super Spacer all certified and Energy Star compliant.

Double-Pane with i89 Argon Gas. This is an optional upgrade from our standard double-pane glass. It includes the Super Spacer feature.

Double-Pane Laminated glass is produced by bonding a combination of plastic vinyl layers and polyester film between two panes of glass pressed into a single sheet. The third plane of Low-E coated glass completes the sealed unit. Laminated glass provides maximum safety from breakage, sound transmission and blocks 95% of damaging UV rays.

Triple Pane consists of two lites of Low-E coated glass with an interior glass substrate, which creates two insulating chambers. These chambers can be filled with either argon or krypton gas. Triple pane will provide maximum R-values, reduced sound transmission, and 95% UV ray blockage. R6 Full Argon gas. R7.5 Argon and Krypton gas. R9 Full Krypton gas.

Ultimate performance glass

The ultimate glass for comfort at home. Whether it is 20 below or 110 in the shade, you can bring year-round comfort to your home with LoĒ²-272 glass. In winter, LoĒ²-272 reflects heat back into the room. In summer, it rejects the sun’s heat and damaging solar rays. Additionally, it is the clearest, highest performing glass you can buy – without haze or a bluish cast.

Weather will never bother you again, since the LoĒ²-272 coated glass reflects the outside harmful rays back, and keeps the heat indoors. You can see an example of the difference in temperature when using the LoĒ²-272 below.

It’s like an invisible insulation! The insulating value of LoĒ²-272 is nearly double that of an ordinary insulating glass unit, or the equivalent of a quad-glazed window!

LoĒ²-272 even outperforms the tinted glass often used in warm, sunny climates. You see out and the light shines in, with no heavy bronze or smoke-colored tints to darken the personality of your home.

Really, no matter what it is like outside, you can count on LoĒ²-272 glass to comfort you and your loved ones on the inside – all year long.

Energy Star Windows

The tables below outline the ENERGY STAR qualifying levels for each of four climate zones, with Zone A being the warmest and Zone D the coldest.

ENERGY STAR climate zone map for Canada

The efficiency of a windows and doors must take into account the weather conditions. Different climates demand windows with different characteristics, namely expressed in terms of unwanted heat losses (U-Factor) and unwanted heat gains (SHGC).

In cold climates it’s particularly important to use low-E coating glasses to reduce heat losses through the windows.

In hot climates the most important is to use Low E2 glasses to limit solar heat gains (low-E2 glasses are particular efficient in reducing the infrared and some ultraviolet rays, besides being good insulators and transmitters of visible light).

A spacer is the component, or piece, used in window manufacturing that separates and seals the two panes of glass in an insulating glass (IG) system. Its intent is to insulate your windows to help maintain an ideal temperature during the seasons you heat or cool your house.

Historically, spacers commonly contained metal, which manufacturers thought provided more durability for their windows. However, what happens with a metal spacer – even one containing aluminum – is that it acts as a conductor. In other words, the metal acts as a catalyst to the very thing it was trying to prevent.

Super Spacer is a true dual seal warm edge spacer system that uses a high-performance acrylic adhesive for its structural seal, backed by a moisture vapor seal. Two seals are better than one – proven by the fact the windows made with Super Spacer last five times longer in durability tests than single-seal units.

Full Metal

With conventional metal spacers, you will see condensation on your window.

Less Metal

Mid-performance spacer systems that still contain metal, improve condensation resistance.

Super Spacer

All-foam dramatically reduces condensation delivering the highest performance in Warm Weather Technology.

Unlike metal spacers, Super Spacer can bounce back when put to the test against winds, temperature fluctuation, rain, snow and UV light. The foam construction of Super Spacer allows it to expand and contract as need, but always return to its original shape. Without Super Spacer’s 100 percent memory formula, windows can eventually crack and lead to seal failure.

The fact that Super Spacer is non-conductive means that it also protects a major household threat: mold. Window condensation can lead to molds that increase the likelihood of allergens, including fungi, viruses and mites that might cause respiratory infections, allergies and asthma.

Windows lose and gain heat by conduction, convention, radiation and air leakage. Conduction is the movement of air through a solid material – touch a hot skillet and you feel heat conducted from the stove through the pan. Heat flows through a window in much the same way.

The Multi-Point Locking System is secure, with its solid detent you ‘feel’ when the system is locked. The unique design makes the lock Highly Pick-resistant. Homeowners will appreciate the excellent ‘reach out’ capability. No need to fully close the window before locking it, Just close the window within .625″ (15.8mm) and activate the lock handle.

The heart of this system is the ‘progressive’ locking action. The tie bar engages and pulls the lowest lock point first, followed by the remaining keeper(s) in sequence. This effect assures the top lock point on tall units always engages and pulls in, even in less-than-perfect installations.

The fold down handle offers a smoother, more contemporary, integrated look when nesting in the operating cover. The system is uniquely designed to prevent handle collapse during operation. The handle itself folds into the base of the handle.

The streamlined design allows for easy screen release without removing the crank handle, and interference with window treatments such as curtains and blinds is severely reduced. The removable cover has remarkable advantages to the homeowner. An integrated snap-fit feature allows faster cover attachment offering a cleaner look, and removes easily for painting and staining of the window.

What Customers Say

We used this company to replace a garden door leading to our deck, and were completely satisfied with their work. The following Spring, we had them back to replace the windows in the front of the house. On both occasions, the work was done on time, professionally and they cleaned up after themselves. We were satisfied to the point that they are back again this year to do some more of our windows.

Mariani Family, Etobicoke, Door Installation

Very happy with the Window and service. Installed on time with no issues. They took the time to walk us through the mechanics of it and the process to remove the screen.

Karen And Steve, Toronto, Window Installation

I am a repeat customer of Loyal Seal. I had them do my windows in my previous home over 4 years ago. This time, I had them do a full house and 2 doors. Fair price, smooth process, product came as promised, good installation with minimal hassle and mess. I was present for the entire thing and observed, truly felt confident in the workmanship as the installers were clearly pro’s who knew what they were doing. They installed the new stuff with great care, and disposed of the old stuff for me, leaving my place pretty clean, just had to use the vacuum to clear some small debris, nothing major. All in all a good experience, far more responsible than many other companies that I have used for numerous other home improvement projects. Would use them again myself, would and have recommended to family and friends.
