Unique Designs and Styles
- What makes Hometech’s Contour Series so aesthetically appealing is their classic Georgian architectural proportions. These beautiful ratios can be traced back to the brilliant aesthetic principles of the ancient Greeks who were masters of both beauty and design.
- With sculpted proportioned lines, the Contour Series window offers the sophisticated elegance of finely crafted wood windows. These contoured surfaces play with the available light, finding attractive accents while eliminating the harsh reflected glare of flat surfaced windows.
- We took our look one step further with advanced glazing technology, eliminating the need for exposed and unattractive black or white rubber glazing strips, common to virtually all other vinyl windows. The result is clean and attractive lines that will enhance the appearance of you home.
- Now you can have both great street-side curb appeal and amazing elegant finished looks from the inside. A new and higher standard in style is finally here in a high-performance vinyl window.
Security
- Hometech’s Contour Series has achieved an astounding rating for successfully resisting forced entry. We have achieved the highest possible rating that can be tested for any vinyl window, far exceeding even the highest Canadian standards and well beyond North American protocols. All Hometech windows were proven to resist forced entry attempts by experts with the common burglary tools Ontario police forces recommend, while withstanding forces up to 300 lbs! Security can sometimes and suddenly become very important. We take it seriously. Our windows are the most secure windows you can buy. So sleep more securely and enjoy the greater peace of mind that comes with Hometech’s superior security window.
Cardinal IG
- Your Hometech windows will feature sealed units made directly by Cardinal IG, the world’s leading manufacturer of premium LowE glass coatings. Over 70% of the North American market used Cardinal LowE, but Hometech is one of only a few companies where the complete sealed unit, including the glass , spacer, sealant and argon filling is done for you directly by Cardinal IG.
- Avoid the problems affecting millions of homes. Cardinal IG will manufacture your sealed glass units using a radically enhanced dual sealed, warm edge technology for maximum performance and longevity. They feature an infrared applied polyester interface (unique to Hometech), continuous reinforced corners, without the weak spots of corner joints, argon filling in an argon chamber. Unlike most systems, no holes are drilled and manually plugged, a major source of seal failures.
Advanced Glazing Technology
- All of our windows feature an ASTM approved sealing system found only on the world’s finest windows. What does the mean to you? Appearance wise, there are no unattractive rubber strips between the glass and other parts of the window, such as the sash. Not only do these rubber strips look unattractive, they deteriorate over time in sunlight, a result of UV exposure, causing a loss of window performance. Our glazing system is the highest standard in glazing technology.
Designed for Climate in Ontario
- Hometech’s Contour Series are certified high performance Energy Star windows. Intense solar heat gain and destructive UV exposure can cause stifling heat and much discomfort in our homes and offices just as they do with our cars parked in the sun. Surprisingly, even in early spring and late fall, we find interior glass temperatures of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (40C). Ironically, after a shut-in winter, our ‘solution’ to the heat discomfort is often to block the unwanted intense heat by closing the drapes and turning on expensive air conditioning. In the summer, we often live in the dark under artificial light. Hometech’s spectrally selective CARDINAL IG LowE windows can avoid these common high E.R. (Energy Rating) level problems.
- Hometech windows can balance your winter heating comfort and cost savings while also greatly reducing the common problems of solar heat while letting in the beautiful daylight.
