Victoria, B.C. August 4, 2010 Windows West has begun negotiations to pick up a fiberglass window line. Canadian engineered Pultrusion technology has produced a fiberglass product which provides strength and insulating values that far surpass currrent products made of vinyl and wood. 

Pultrusion is a manufacturing process for producing continuous lengths of reinforced polymer structural shapes with constant cross-sections. Raw materials are a liquid resin mixture (containing resin, fillers and specialized additives) and flexible textile reinforcing fibers. The process involves pulling these raw materials (rather than pushing, as is the case in extrusion) through a heated steel forming die using a continuous pulling device.

The reinforcement materials are in continuous forms such as rolls of fiberglass mat and doffs of fiberglass roving. As the reinforcements are saturated with the resin mixture (“wet-out”) in the resin bath and pulled through the die, the gelation, or hardening, of the resin is initiated by the heat from the die and a rigid, cured profile is formed that corresponds to the shape of the die.

All Weather Windows believes that consumers see ENERGY STAR as the trusted name in energy efficiency. That explains why the company has gone to such lengths to link its products with the ENERGY STAR symbol.

More than 95 percent of All Weather Windows’ product line is now ENERGY STAR qualified. In 2009, the company manufactured 1955 different ENERGY STAR qualified products, which were sold at more than 900 retail locations and through more than 500 builders and contractors across Canada. All Weather Windows shipped more than 300 000 ENERGY STAR qualified windows and doors last year.

The ENERGY STAR symbol is front and centre in virtually all facets of the company’s marketing efforts, including its Web site, product brochures, point-of-purchase materials, direct mail pieces, print and television advertising – and even the company’s business cards and fleet of delivery trucks.

ENERGY STAR qualified products are also featured prominently in a unique retail display unit that earned All Weather Windows the 2010 Canadian Home Improvement Merchandising Award for best retail display in Building Materials. The award-winning display unit was used at more than 70 major home improvement stores in Canada in 2009, as well as at industry trade shows.

All Weather Windows’ Web site makes shopping for energy-efficient windows easy. Simply by entering their postal code, visitors are directed to products that meet the ENERGY STAR specifications for their climate zone. All Weather Windows has also developed the Energy Saver Calculator, an industry-leading online tool that allows consumers to estimate the annual energy savings and greenhouse gas reductions they could expect from replacing their windows with ENERGY STAR qualified products.

The company offers dealers an intensive two-day course entitled All Weather Windows University, where participants learn about company products, marketing programs and ENERGY STAR. In 2009, 110 dealers from across Canada were trained. More than 20 installers also received training that includes ENERGY STAR content.

All Weather Windows played a key role in developing the new ENERGY STAR technical specification for windows, doors and skylights, which will come into effect on October 1, 2010. The company has been in business for more than 30 years, always striving to manufacture the most durable windows and doors in the industry.
