The structural strength of fiberglass windows, along with their high thermal performance, makes them ideal for large glazing areas in residential or commercial buildings. Photo by Paul Grdina. Recently windows have become a hot topic, grabbing headlines with some people pitting them against energy performance standards and claiming the only way to meet the standards is to eliminate windows.

Buildings can meet emerging performance standards and deliver exciting spaces, full of natural light and views. The key to delivering better building is simply using better, energy-efficient windows. With strength and durability comparable to traditional aluminum, fiberglass windows offer a long-life window alternative for commercial buildings and office spaces. Traditional aluminum framed windows lose large amounts of heat, easily conducting it back and forth from interior to exterior of a building.

That means the building needs to have substantial heating and cooling systems to offset the losses. They also have a shorter lifespan and are less durable overall.

For most of the last half-century, these two choices were the only options for windows, forcing architects and developers to choose between poor performance or short lifespan and less natural light. The , sq. That means for every dollar spent on heating and cooling, up to 50 cents is lost through the window. As production advancements have improved the efficiency of window glass, window frame innovation was largely stagnant. Aluminum windows were given a more complex thermal break between various conductive metal materials, but this change yielded minimal improvements despite significant cost increases and a more complex product.

In vinyl windows, steel reinforcements were added within the frame to provide additional strength. But introducing this steel diminished the thermal performance of the frame itself—one of its key benefits.

Neither innovation addressed the underlying issue, which shows that the frame is the key. Combine that with a median building lifespan of 70 to 75 years, and the problem with buildings can become staggering. Fiberglass windows are perfect way to maintain views and natural light while still delivering a high-performance building envelope.

And last, but certainly not least, silicone is thermally stable. Partnering with a creative vendor Mr. Sawatzky evaluated different options but soon discovered that Vicone would be a creative partner who was willing to listen to their challenges and come up with a solution to deliver an innovative product.

I did the initial design and then I worked with Vicone to find the right density, making sure it was not too hard or too soft. We are also the first company to have a Passive House certified window that is built and designed in North America. More and more customers are now looking for products with the Passive House certification. Recently, Vancouver has mandated that all new public buildings meet Passive House standards.

This is an indication that Canadian building codes are likely to change within the next couple of years as many now recognize the benefits of green building products. Other manufacturers do Passive House certified windows, but many use PVC whereas our fiberglass and silicone gaskets are not harmful to the environment.
