You asked for the latest trends in cap-stock colour choices, and we delivered! Window City’s proprietary automated manufacturing process gives us the opportunity to offer a variety of co-extruded cap-stock colours. The cap-stock colour is not painted; instead, they are heat bonded directly to the extrusion, making it an integral part of the window or door. The result? A lifelong, fade and chip resistant finish that will prolong the life of your product. Interested? In 2019, Window City introduced two new cap-stock colour options. Make sure to check out the new black and charcoal grey cap-stock options when deciding on your home upgrades.

Industry Trade Shows

Trade shows are a great opportunity to gain valuable industry knowledge, collaborate and share experience with other industry professionals, and for attaining valuable feedback on how we can further develop and improve as a company. Two industry trade shows in particular offered endless insight in 2019; The National Home Show in March, and The 2019 Building Show earlier this December. We are eager and excited to utilize the wisdom gained from the 2019 trade shows as we launch into the new year.

Environment Initiatives – Go Green Window City

For years, Window City has placed an acute importance on creating and maintaining a workplace culture that embraces efficient and conscientious manufacturing processes. In 2019, we successfully went the extra mile and achieved ethical sourcing and manufacturing practices. We focused on efficient and productive use of raw materials and natural resources in an effort to minimize the adverse impact to the environment. Some times, manufacturers and consumers believe that you need to choose between environmentally conscious products, and stylish

products. We wanted to prove them wrong. A request we are seeing more often each day from our customers is for floor-to-ceiling windows. Who can blame them? Floor-to-ceiling windows are a timeless yet trending addition to a home that embodies classic beauty and modern edge. However, many manufacturers fall short in making these windows energy efficient. Window City has performed vigorous testing of large windows used in new construction builds to ensure that their energy ratings are on par with their smaller counter parts. The result? Beautiful, stylish floor to ceiling windows that are just as environmentally friendly and environmentally efficient as smaller sizes, a feat that has proven to be difficult to replicate from other manufacturers. We’ve also further improved the energy efficiency of large windows by adding i89 glass. These two energy efficiency measures have improved the structural and thermal performance of large windows, saving home owners in energy costs and reducing the footprint on the environment by reducing amount energy used for heating and cooling.
