WINDOWS DESIGNED TO SURVIVE SEARING HEAT, ARCTIC BLASTS AND SOMETHING EVEN LESS FORGIVING — THE FICKLE WINDS OF FASHION.
When you live and work in a part of the world where arctic winds come howling down from the polar icecaps all winter, you learn how to build exceedingly sturdy, energy saving windows.By using Douglas Fir as our standard wood species, we ensure that a certain imperviousness to the elements is manufactured into our vinyl replacement windows from the start. But we also take a number of extra steps to enhance this robust wood’s naturally tough characteristics.For instance, we treat all of our wood with a special sealant. This not only makes it even more water repellent and decay resistant; it helps stain and paint bond securely to the surface.And, because many of our customers choose metal clad exteriors, we offer durable extruded aluminum cladding in a rich palette of baked-on finishes.In addition, Loewen uses thicker glass than other window manufacturers, making ours better insulated, more soundproof and more impact resistant.Equally important to the unmatched quality of our construction, however, is the enduring beauty of our designs.You see, our people don’t just brainstorm; they are given the freedom to “trystorm” – the ultimate goal being the creation of innovative designs that keep abreast of current fashion trends, while simultaneously transcending them. So no matter what Loewen windows you select for your home, they will stand the test of time.
WHY CAN'T A WINDOW BE AS MUCH A WORK OF ART AS THE LANDSCAPE IT FRAMES?
To our way of thinking, a window should be more than just a source of natural light and air… It should be a source of inspiration. Consequently, you may have trouble deciding which is more inspiring: the view outside your windows or the windows themselves.
CLASSIC STYLE WITH REMARKABLE VERSATILITY
Casement windows swing open like a door to provide superior ventilation and easy operation. Suitable for numerous home styles, Casements shut tightly, providing a firm, lasting seal and one of the uppermost thermal performance ratings of any window style. Practical and beautiful, Casements are easy to combine with other Loewen window styles for a unique look.It's no wonder the Casement is one of the most popular window styles in markets around the world.Loewen prides itself on having an outstanding Casement window, made even better by our long list of quality features: Douglas Fir, double-strength glass, extruded aluminum and 36 Kynar based metal clad paint colors to name just a few. See the Why Loewen section for more details.Part of what makes our Casement special is the wide selection we offer. Loewen makes four distinct styles of Casement windows: Traditional, Mission®, French Chateau, and Push Out.All Loewen Casement windows feature authentic stile and rail sash corner joinery — no weak miter joints to rob your window of its aesthetic and structural integrity.

These angles determine how much extra space you gain by controlling how far the window extends.Bow windows feature a series of four or more adjoining windows that form an arc or bow.All of our Bow and Bay windows have optional heads and seats available in either paint grade fir or stain grade clear oak.

PICTURE PERFECT PICTURE WINDOWS
Loewen Picture windows are designed to give you maximum views with a minimum of wood framework. Picture windows, of course, do not open. But you can create the ideal combination of view and ventilation by pairing them with operable Loewen windows.Loewen offers Picture windows with 1 3/8" (35mm) thick jambs (“jamb” refers to the vertical frame segment) and a 1 3/8” (35 mm) thick sill (horizontal bottom segment).This 1 3/8” (35 mm) offers increased strength and the ability to contain Simulated Divided Lite bars to match those on adjoining or adjacent Windows and doors.Also, 1 3/8” (35 mm) Picture units offer a matching jamb for situations where operating windows — Awning for example — are ganged together with Pictures.Jamb sight lines are aligned and an integrated overall appearance is achieved.Venting cavities allow manufactured-up condensation to escape, increasing the lifespan of hermetic seals and window frames.HIGHLIGHTS
