When to use a wider flange
Area: Vancouver
Window Type: Ultra Series with 2 1/4″ renovation wider flange
Building Exterior: Chocolate brown stucco
When to use a wider flange: We went with our 2 ¼” Brickmould flange in our Ultra Series to match the already existing white trim around the exterior of the building. The unique details on our brickmould flange helps even out the solid look of the stucco. The final result, is an atheistically pleasing and eye catching home.

Another dramatic transformation …
Sometimes our before and after pictures aren’t all that visually dramatic (other than the sunny day). For some home owners its all about preserving the heritage look while increasing the performance, comfort and operation of their windows.
Contained within the sealed doubled glazed unit, the 1/4 x 3/8 Dusty Grey / Pewter muntin bars mimic the look of the previous leaded glass. Cardinal Glass LowE 180 with Argon sealed units with the latest Endur spacer technology provides Energy Star level performance and durability. The new vinyl frames replace the old wooden sashes and roto-crank hardware replaces the old cam handles; providing a neat clean finish on the interior.
Oh, and did we mention that we didn’t install these windows?

Get inspired with custom coloured vinyl windows
When Our Lady of Mercy School in Burnaby was looking to replace their windows we’re quite sure they weren’t thinking “Raisin” and “Canary” . However, being able to choose from Benjamin Moore’s complete colour pallet, they were able to get a great match to the school colours. The new windows not only increase ventilation and provide more light they also create a much more vibrant exterior. Custom painted sealed units from Garibaldi Glass completed the look.
