Renovation & retrofit

Upgrade the existing envelope with a project-specific solution.

For mid- to high-end detached homes, duplexes and existing buildings, we provide a structured route to improve energy efficiency, comfort, aesthetics and long-term property value.

Existing buildings

Start with the opening and the wall—not a generic replacement claim.

Retrofit work requires a detailed understanding of the existing condition before selecting a system.

What the project review should address

Existing opening geometry, structural support, wall build-up, drainage plane, attachment method, sill condition and performance priorities must all be considered together. The selected system should then be reviewed for its glass make-up, configuration, size and interface detailing.

What the upgrade can deliver

Appropriate system selection can help renew exterior appearance, improve thermal comfort, reduce drafts and condensation risk, enhance daylight and outdoor connections, and support the long-term value of an existing home or small residential building.

01

Assess existing conditions

Confirm the opening, wall and water-management conditions before selecting a configuration.

02

Set project performance priorities

Balance energy, solar control, operability, pressure performance, daylight and architectural intent.

03

Review system-specific evidence

Use the product page, available reports, drawings and a project-specific technical review.

04

Coordinate the installation interface

Resolve attachment, drainage, air/water seals, trim and transition details before work begins.

The Canadian opportunity

A strong path into the premium home-upgrade market.

Renovation is not an afterthought. It is a focused Canadian application for high-performance aluminum systems.

Comfort

Better daily living.

Review glazing, operability and frame performance in relation to the home’s orientation and existing conditions.

Appearance

Architectural renewal.

Use large openings, slender aluminum profiles and coordinated finishes to transform the exterior and interior experience.

Long-term value

Investment in the envelope.

Prioritize durable construction, responsible interfaces and supportable product decisions for a lasting result.
