Regency®
High Performance Vinyl Windows

Built For Outstanding Appearance and Performance

With meticulous attention to every detail, Regency windows merge timeless beauty with best-in-class technology to achieve superior energy efficiency, enduring style, easy upkeep and excellent value.

Strength and style are equally integrated in our Origin III premium vinyl. Highly durable and virtually maintenance-free, the vinyl composition also is formulated for low thermal conductivity, which makes it ideal for window manufacturing. Featuring a crisp white colour through and through, the vinyl won’t rot, split, corrode or pit like painted wood windows and won’t swell or warp from exposure to moisture. Your windows will keep their beautiful appearance season after season, year after year.

Our IntegraWeld Fusion Welding method produces full-contact welding points for every masterframe and sash corner, resulting in superior strength and a clean, low-spread finished appearance. And, unlike mechanically fastened windows, Regency 400 Series window corners will not work loose or leak air or water.

The extra-strong 4-1/2″ thick (nominal) masterframe on Regency windows works double time: it fortifies the structural integrity of the window and accommodates a variety of installation methods and architectural styles.

Our Maxum33 steel sash reinforcement provides extra strength at the sash meeting rails to help prevent flexing during heavy winds – a valuable component especially during harsh Canadian weather.

Rigorously tested for heavy-duty wear and tear, Regency double hung windows feature a constant force coil to ensure smooth and easy sash opening and closing. Likewise, our casement windows feature high-performance operating hardware that provides superior strength for lifelong ease of operation and a corrosion-resistant finish.

Prevent Energy Loss with Ultra-Efficient Glass Technology

Windows are roughly 80% glass, so it’s essential to choose a glass system that provides insulation from challenging weather yet allows the warmth and beauty of natural light to shine through.

Regency Windows and ENERGY STAR^®

ENERGY STAR is the mark of high-efficiency products in Canada, and windows earning this distinction must meet strict technical specifications for energy-efficient performance. As one of the best choices for preventing heat loss, ENERGY STAR-certified Regency windows can help you save money by cutting your annual heating and cooling energy bills.

Regency windows are available with a variety of insulated glass packages to meet the latest ENERGY STAR^® performance requirements.*

Insulated Glass Packages

Regency Windows feature a wide range of EnergyPlus™ and Solar Shield glass packages that let you customize your windows to meet the specific climate conditions of your home. Double or Triple-glazed glass units with the Super Spacer structural foam spacer provides superior energy efficiency and longevity, while enhancing the indoor comfort and overall value of your home.

To learn more about glass packages and their importance when picking a new window, read our blog Gentek Insulated Glass Packages Explained and 3 Things You Need To Know About Window Glazing.

EnergyPlus™ Glass Packages

• Double-glazed EnergyPlus™ glass units (which are standard on Regency windows) feature one surface of Low-E glass, insulating argon gas and the Super Spacer structural foam spacer for an excellent Energy Rating (ER)
• Meet ENERGY STAR performance requirements for Climate Zones 1 and 2 and a portion of Zone 3 for all Regency windows styles; Regency fixed casement and picture windows also meet ENERGY STAR^® requirements for Zone 3.

Solar Shield Glass Packages

• Feature increased solar control to help create consistent indoor temperatures in regions with hot summers and cold winters
• Meet ENERGY STAR performance requirements, including Zone 3, for all Regency window styles
• Block up to 50% more unwanted solar energy than standard clear glass and up to 40% more than even dark tinted glass, resulting in lower air-conditioning usage and more comfortable indoor climate
• Achieve centre-of-glass R-values up to 9, depending on the size and model of the window

Super Spacer^® Non-Metal Spacer System

Another key component to a window’s energy efficiency is the spacer system. A spacer creates an insulating air space between the panes of glass, which functions as a thermal barrier. Many windows are constructed with a metal spacer between the panes to give the glass unit structural stability. However, the metal edges conduct cold from the outside of your home at a rate up to 120% higher than at the centre of the glass area. This can create condensation problems at the window edge, damaging woodwork and draperies.

Regency windows combine a structural foam spacer with a seal of hot melt butyl to create a “warm,” low-conductive edge. When correctly installed, Regency windows with the Super Spacer system can reduce condensation, provided that proper air circulation and humidity levels are maintained in the home.† In addition, the Super Spacer design minimizes the subtle movement of glass panes caused by changes in temperature – helping to prevent seal failure and reducing the stress on the glass.

The Super Spacer non-metal spacer provides the highest resistance to conduction and eliminates metal-to-glass contact and conduction.

See the full Regency product brochure to learn more about how the Super Spacer system, compares to other spacer systems.

Check the NFRC Label

To compare the energy-saving performance of one window to the next, take a look at the NFRC label. The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is a non-profit industry organization that is committed to providing accurate, fair and reliable testing data to help consumers, architects and builders compare the energy performance of window and door products. The lower the U-factor (also known as U-value), the less energy you’ll need to heat your home. The lower the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), the more you’ll conserve on air-conditioning.
