Windows
Sarasota Homes, Jensen Lakes
Building solutions for you, with over four decades of experience.
Buying a window is more than just a transaction; it’s a partnership, a home framed perfectly to your lifestyle. We’re dedicated to working closely with developers, builders, dealers, and homeowners throughout Western Canada, offering a comprehensive range of styles and options for the perfect fit.
Casement windows
A casement window is a window that is attached to its frame by one or more hinges at the side. They are used singly or in pairs within a common frame, in which case they are hinged on the outside.

Slider windows
The slider window has one or more sashes that slides open horizontally.

Hung windows
With a bottom sash that slides up, the single hung window allows controlled airflow into your home.

Picture windows
Picture windows do not open. They offer a low-profile frame to maximize glass surface, allowing a beautifully clear, unobstructed view.

Awning windows
An awning window is hung horizontally. Hinged on the top, shielding from the rain while providing good ventilation and constant airflow. it is also one of the most energy efficient operating windows.

FABRICATION OF YOUR WINDOW FRAME ↓
uPVC
Our windows are made from uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), a robust material that’s free from phthalates and BPA. This material is chosen for its exceptional thermal efficiency and durability in window construction often lasting for decades. Plus, it’s recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for your home!

Choosing the correct glass
Good design and correct installation are important factors in ensuring energy efficient windows, but glass performance plays the big role.
We offer a variety of energy-efficient glass options and technologies to ensure maximum comfort in any climate. With dual and triple pane configurations and multiple Low-E coating options, our glass keeps the summer heat out and the winter heat in.
Sun or shade?
If you prefer to take advantage of the sun’s heat from your south and west-facing windows, consider glass with a higher solar heat gain (SHGC). Alternatively, choosing glass with a lower SHGC will keep the sun’s heat out, leaving your home cool and comfortable, reducing cooling costs.

All performance for C.O.G. (centre of glass) ratings are based on Vision v4.0 simulations. All C.O.G U- and R-values are based on ASHREA Winter Conditions. Framing, cladding, frame type and other items will affect the overall thermal values of a complete window.
A measurement of the resistance of heat transfer through glass. The higher the R-Value, the better the window insulates against heat.
U-Value
Solar Heat Gain (SHGC)
The amount of the sun’s heat that transfers through glass from the exterior to the interior side. The higher the solar heat gain, the more a window allows heat to pass through into a home.

Types of Glass
TEMPERED GLASS – One of two kinds of safety glass used in applications where standard glass could pose potential danger. Can be Outboard, Inboard or Both. Be sure to know your building codes and where windows are being installed.
Makes glass three times stronger than normal.
TINTED GLASS – Tints available in bronze, grey or green. Only available for Outboard. If footage is greater than 25 sq.ft., please temper the glass to help reduce stress on sealed unit that causes the sealed unit to crack.
DECORATIVE GLASS – Only available for Inboard lite. CORE will filter what type is available based on size of glass being requested. (Example: Rain Glass is purchased in a certain size and can only be installed in a vertical pattern.)
SPECIAL GLASS REQUESTS – Not available inside CORE. Ask your sales representative if your project requires a specialty glass not mentioned.
Exposure of Glass
IF THE WINDOW FACES NORTH – Look for the best insulating or R-Value. If you are sitting in front of a large window for a long time, using tripane HS6 gives you an R-Value of 8.064. This will keep you warm and comfortable.
FACING WEST – You are trying to stop heat gain. The West summer sun hits the glass for an extended period of time so you are trying to stop heat gain. Look at the SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) and find the lowest number. In winter, the opposite occurs, so you should look for a high R-Value (HS6).
FACING SOUTH – In the winter the sun is lower and based on the position and the angle of the sun the solar energy can definitely help reduce heating costs. Summer sun means heat gain, so lower SHGC is your friend. This exposure is always a balance between available heat systems so let the customer decide (HS3 or HS6).
FACING EAST – If the room you are in has a lot of glass the summer morning sun
will heat the space a great deal. Ensure to look for a lower SHGC (HS6).

Innovation makes the difference
V-weld is more than just a fancy sounding name.
All Weather at Home is proud to be one of the first manufacturers in North America to offer the groundbreaking technology of V-weld as part of our Apex window series. No other window offers such exceptional performance in keeping the outside elements from seeping into a home – virtually eliminating air and water leaks.
Conventional windows use mechanical mullions joined with gaskets and silicone, which contract and expand with temperature differences. This can lead to separation between joints, causing air and water leaks. To eliminate this, V-weld Apex windows arefusion-welded together leaving no gaps, cracks, spaces, slits or any other synonyms that water can seep through. This manufacturing process provides superior frame integrity and ensures better performance than conventional combination windows in water and air tests.
