Vinyl Windows

Known for energy efficiency, durability and low maintenance, vinyl windows are the most commonly used window type in North America today. Award Windows and Doors offers a wide variety of vinyl window styles, shapes and colours. Awning windows offer superior energy efficiency, over sliding windows, and maximize ventilation opportunities. They can be used on their own or combined with fixed or picture windows (or other awnings/casements) to create the configurations you desire to make your home the brightest and airiest it can be.

Self Cleaning Glass

NEAT™ Naturally Clean Glass

Neat glass harnesses the power of the sun’s UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it way, leaving windows virtually spotless. Windows stay clean longer and clean easier.

How Neat Glass Works

  • A thin, invisible titanium dioxide coating harnesses the power of the sun’s UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it away, leaving windows virtually spotless.
  • Durable silicone dioxide treatment makes glass smoother as it ages so water disperses evenly, sheets off and evaporates quickly, greatly reducing water spotting.
  • When water (either rain or water sprayed on the glass) hits the ultra-smooth surface, it disperses evenly, sheets off and evaporates quickly, washing away the grime and leaving glass almost spotless.

Please note, Neat is only available with Sol-R® Shield 270™ and Sol-R® Shield 366™.
