For the technically minded...the facts about Centennial's award winning windows!

Although every Centennial custom replacement window and door is designed and manufactured to be extremely easy to maintain, clean from inside the home wherever possible and to last a lifetime, there is much more technology and testing that goes into each product than meets the eye.

For professionals, as well as those homeowners who like to gather all of the facts before making such an important decision for your family, we list below all of the technical details and certification standards for each of our core window styles. Combinations and variations of these styles can be assembled to create bay windows, bow windows, angled and rounded windows, palladium feature windows and hundreds of custom designed combinations of windows to suit any application. In addition Centennial manufactures insulated glass units for its windows with numerous design options from traditional colonial grills to designer units featuring brass and beveled glass. All of Centennial's windows are available in 25 standard exterior colours and can be custom colour matched to suit any aesthetic design. Our Casement, Awning and matching Fixed windows are available with a simulated interior Oak finish.

Architects, property managers, designers and homeowners are welcome to visit any of our showrooms, or by appointment, our manufacturing facility in London, Ontario, to see exactly how we handcraft our products. Call us at 1-519-451-0508 to arrange for a personal tour.

Side Slider Window

The perfect window for applications where slim lines, maximum ventilation, ease of cleaning and emergency egress are all essential. The Centennial Side Slider is most popular in bedrooms, bathrooms and finished basements. This window comes with a full screen, can be opened from either side and both sashes swing to the inside of the home for easy and safe cleaning. Insulated frames and sashes as well as triple weather-stripping and dual interlocks have made this one of the most energy efficient side slider windows available anywhere.

Fixed Casement Window

Centennial's Fixed Casement window is designed to match the sight lines of both the Casement and Awning windows. Although often used as a stand alone picture window, it is most often used in combinations with Casement operating windows to create feature windows, Bay and Bow windows. When combined with a single operating Casement of equal size this window is often used to replace older Horizontal Slider windows.

As a non operating window, it offers unobstructed views while featuring attractive architectural lines in the frame design. It is available in custom shapes such as arched or angled windows. Frames are fully insulated with Centennial's exclusive polyurethane foam.

It is listed amongst the very best windows in Canada for its energy efficiency with an Energy Rating (ER) of 47 with optional triple glazing.

Aesthetically its bright attractive sight lines make it very popular for feature windows and it is often married up with Double Hung windows or Side Slider windows to create larger traditional combination windows.
