A Higher Standard in Window Design
A Window That Looks Like No Other
What gives Hometech’s Contour Series its distinctive appeal is its timeless Georgian architectural proportions. These elegant ratios are rooted in the refined aesthetic principles of Ancient Greece, where beauty, balance, and design were carefully considered.
With sculpted, proportioned lines, the Contour Series captures the refined elegance of beautifully crafted wood windows. Its contoured surfaces interact naturally with changing light, creating subtle highlights while reducing the harsh glare often produced by flat window surfaces.
We enhanced this distinctive appearance with advanced glazing technology, removing the need for visible black or white rubber glazing strips found on virtually every other vinyl window. The result is a cleaner, more sophisticated finish that complements your home.
Enjoy exceptional curb appeal from the street and an elegant, beautifully finished appearance from inside. The Contour Series establishes a new standard for high-performance vinyl windows, combining timeless style with modern technology.
Forced Entry
Hometech’s Contour Series has achieved an astounding rating for successfully resisting forced entry. We have achieved the highest possible rating that can be tested for any vinyl window, far exceeding even the highest Canadian standards and well beyond North American protocols. All Hometech's windows were proven to resist forced entry attempts by experts with the common burglary tools Ontario police forces recommend, while withstanding forces up to 300 lbs! Security can sometimes and suddenly become very important. We take it seriously. Our windows are the most secure windows you can buy. So sleep more securely and enjoy the greater peace of mind that comes with Hometech’s superior security window. Unique in North America, Hometech’s “made in Canada” solutions, once again, simply set the highest standard. For more Information, Please Download the PDF.
Unique Cardinal IG Sealed Glass Units in All Our Windows
With a terrible nationwide seal failure rate of 9% after only 15 years, Hometech wanted to ensure that your sealed glass units were the best in the world. It’s as simple as that. Your Hometech windows will feature sealed units made directly by Cardinal IG, the world’s leading manufacturer of premium Lowe glass coatings. Over 70% of the North American market uses Cardinal IG, but Hometech is one of only a few companies where the complete sealed unit, including the glass, spacer, sealant, and argon filling, is done for you directly by Cardinal IG.
Avoid the problems affecting millions of homes. Cardinal IG will manufacture your sealed glass units using a radically enhanced dual-sealed, warm edge technology for maximum performance and longevity. They feature an infrared-applied polyester interface (unique to Hometech), continuous reinforced corners without the weak spots of corner joints, and argon filling in an argon chamber. Unlike most systems, no holes are drilled and manually plugged, a major source of seal failures.
The result? After 20 years, audited rates show a failure rate of only .002. Hometech’s Cardinal IG units have eliminated the weak spots that commonly lead to seal failures that can plague homes for years and can be very expensive to fix, one after another. Some homeowners have had every window in the house ruined by seal failures. Don’t take a chance. Get the Cardinal IG solution; units uniquely made for your new generation Hometech Contour Series windows. Each carries a discrete laser-etched Hometech identification, and Cardinal IG keeps your exact data for life. There is nothing like them.
Best In Class Glazing Technology Nothing More Reliable
All of our windows feature an ASTM-approved sealing system found only on the world’s finest windows. What does that mean to you? Appearance-wise, there are no unattractive rubber strips between the glass and other parts of the window, such as the sash. Not only do these rubber strips look unattractive, but they also deteriorate over time in sunlight, a result of UV exposure, causing a loss of window performance. Our glazing system is the highest standard in glazing technology. You want your windows to last forever. So do we.
Designed for the Climate in Ontario
Hometech’s Contour Series are certified high-performance Energy Star windows. Canada’s Energy Star zoning program finds all of the GTA and most of Ontario, including North Bay and Sudbury, in ‘Climate Zone “B”‘, not the colder zones “C” or “D”. We are also close enough to the US border’s hot zone “A” to feel the effects. Intense solar heat gain and destructive UV exposure can cause stifling heat and much discomfort in our homes and offices, just as they do with our cars parked in the sun.
Surprisingly, even in early spring and late fall, we find interior glass temperatures of over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (40C). Ironically, after a shut-in winter, our ‘solution’ to the heat discomfort is often to block the unwanted intense heat by closing the drapes and turning on expensive air conditioning. In the summer, we often live in the dark under artificial light. Hometech’s spectrally selective CARDINAL IG LowE windows can avoid these common high E.R. (Energy Rating) level problems. Hometech windows can balance your winter heating comfort and cost savings, while also greatly reducing the common problems of solar heat while letting in the beautiful daylight.
