Easy To Clean
As awning windows can be tilted inwards, it allows for easy cleaning of the window exterior from inside - more beneficial for windows on upper floors and therefore eliminates the additional spend on professional window cleaners, or tools like a ladder.
Ventilation
Aluminum, rust-resistant frame and heavy-gauge fibreglass mesh uses a pin-less operating system to make screen removal and replacement easy.
Fusion Welded Corners
At Arctic Star, we make sure all corners of windows are fusion welded for long term durability.
Easy Maintenance
Double hung windows can easily be tilted inwards - permitting for efficient cleaning on both sides of the window from the inside. This is highly beneficial for windows that are on the upper floors.
Energy Efficient
Our windows are meticulously designed to allow the sunlight into the house while letting solar heat in and resisting cold weather. They are Energy Star certified - which means they would help cut down the overall cost of your energy bills. All the windows sold by Arctic Star are designed, manufactured, and assembled in Canada.
Rust Resistant Fasteners and Hinges
The stainless steel screws and rust resistant hinges for our windows are designed for a lifetime of use.
Foam “warmware”
Polyurethane foam insulation is injected into window sash and frame to form a durable, airtight and water-resistant seal. This feature is optional.
Triple Seal
The three layers of Finned Weatherseal prevent air and water transmission, and reduces noise from the outside.
Energy Star® certified

Inside the glass
Energy Efficiency & Glass
Triple and Double glass
Using two glass panes (double glazed), the air gap in between the panes significantly reduces heat and sound loss and therefore conserves energy. This ensures warmer temperatures stay inside the room during winter, as it prevents heat from leaving the inside of your nicely-warmed rooms.
TempSmart™ Spacer System
It is a U-shaped silicone foam tape seal in between window glass panes that improves glass surface temperature and has a good sound absorption. It has a significant role in the overall performance of a window as it determines the amount of heat or cold that can pass through the glass panes. Used with Hot Melt butyl, it provides a great Warm-edge seal - that features a vapor backing system.
Laminated glass
This exceptional glass consists of two glass sheets that are permanently bonded to a tough, durable plastic interlayer. Laminated glass has a distinct property that it does not shatter like ordinary glass and the interlayer can absorb repeated blows from tools and weapons including bricks, hammers and crowbars. Glass cutters are also rendered useless for burglary, as the glass requires to be cut from both sides. Laminated glass offers a vital contribution toward protecting your family and valuables.
Glass coatings
Low-E Options
Our windows are available with a range of Low-E glass types from industry-leading manufacturers, each one engineered to meet your needs while keeping you comfortable in temperate or extreme climates.
Energy Upgrades
Solar gain Low E glass
The best glass for most applications in a northern climate. It has a very high retention rate of the heat in your home in winter and prevents heat gain in summer. Since as much as 95% of your energy expense for heating and cooling combined goes for heating, this glass is more cost effective than other glass without a high SHGC.
Solar shield Low E glass
Is chosen for uses where cooling costs outweigh heating costs in your energy usage, or where summer discomfort from heat build-up should be an important concern. This is the best glass for most applications in a southern climate. It has a very high reflection rate of the radiant outside heat to prevent heat gain in summer and in winter it still retains radiant heat once you turn on your furnace!
See and hear the difference with Diamond Premium Glass
VWD’s Diamond Premium Glass is 33% to 100% thicker than industry standards—that’s why it’s called Diamond Premium Glass! What this means is that outside noises stay outside where they belong, truly making your home a sanctuary. A window with Diamond Premium Glass will withstand much greater impact and will be a better insulator.
Foam-Insulating Windows Close the Gap on Energy Costs
Best of all, Foam-insulating windows provide an additional benefit to the already impressive advantages of warm edge and gas filling upgrades. The frame makes up about 15% of a window. Foam can provide up to a 10% reduction in heat loss through the window frame.
Argon Gas
Filled units reduce your window’s conduction and convection of heat. Argon works well with Low E glass to maximize your new window’s energy efficiency and performance.
Krypton Gas
Filling works where Argon can’t! It is ideal for smaller air spaces created in triple glazing and can be combined with Argon in intermediate size spaces.
E-Clean Glass
Combines the benefits of Solar Shield LOW E with unique outer glass coating that gradually breaks down dirt while causing rain to sheet.
Triple Glazing With Zero Calories
With the insulation value of Triple Glass exceeding R8, this benefit is in demand by homeowners looking to save money on their heating bill with the added bonus of being kind to the environment.
