A New Age of Possibilities
HYBRID WINDOWS AND DOORS
Vimat offers you the best of both worlds by combining the thermal performance of
PVC and the durability of aluminum. Designed with a rigid PVC frame incorporating an
aluminum extrusion on the exterior, hybrid products give you the benefit of increased
rigidity and superior thermal efficiency all wrapped up in a beautiful design.
Hybrid windows are an ideal choice when opting for coloured windows as the
aluminum exterior provides for excellent colour adhesion and a long-lasting finish.
Available in a range of standard and customized colours!

CASEMENT
CONTEMPORARY
Helios windows offer the perfect mix of solidity, comfort and beauty.
With the latest trend in architecture towards contemporary and even industrial
design, Vimat has created a new hybrid window with clean lines that perfectly
complements this design style.
Windows
Windows
These windows are designed for easy maintenance with a sash mechanism
that opens to a 90o angle for convenient exterior window cleaning.
Contemporary hybrid windows are priced equivalent to Amalgame hybrid
windows and are available in a vast selection of colours.
All Helios models offer added security against intruders thanks to a
multipoint locking mechanism that is covered by a lifetime warranty. For
improved aesthetics, Helios windows are also fitted with a retractable
handle.
Choose to add one or more decorative grilles, giving the window the look
of a vertical-sliding or heritage-style window.

Windows
Halo hung windows add a beautiful finishing touch to
traditional, Victorian, and Canadian style homes. They are
available with one or two operating sashes.
Like all our windows, Halo hung windows are made of superior,
quality materials for greater solidity. With an integrated handle
and spring mechanism, Halo windows are designed to
ensure greater ease of operation.
All Halo windows come equipped with a removable operating
sash to facilitate easier maintenance.

HORIZONTAL
Sliding Windows
These horizontal sliding windows have
the high-end appearance of casement
windows but are more economically
priced. Celeste PVC windows offer good
looks, durability and outstanding
performance. Their exclusive brass roller
sliding system guarantees many years of
smooth operation. Celeste windows are
designed to perfectly harmonize with
Helios casement windows or Halo vertical
sliding windows.

BAY AND BOW
Windows
Give your room a grand appeal with bay or bow windows
made from PVC, wood, aluminum or even one of our hybrid
models. Go ahead, be creative! You can maximize sunshine
by combining a fixed glass panel with casement or hung
windows. Or opt for an assembly of casements for rooms
requiring natural ventilation.
AWNING
Windows
Simple but effective! Constellation windows are aptly named because they
open towards the sky like an awning, which enables the free circulation of air
while protecting the opening against water infiltration.
Constellation windows offers added security against intruders with a
multipoint locking mechanism that is covered by a lifetime warranty. For
improved aesthetics, they also come with a retractable handle.

For even more visual impact, opt for a specialty shaped window.

FOR TOTAL PEACE OF MIND!
Resistek® Glass and Resistek Ultra®
Glass are designed to offer a high level
of impact resistance. They are the
perfect choice to ensure the safety of
your family and your home.
VISIONET® SELF-CLEANING GLASS
Visionet® Glass uses the sun’s rays to
loosen dirt that can then be washed
away practically without a trace!
INSONOTEK® SOUNDPROOF GLASS
Insonotek® Soundproof Glass reduces
undesirable noise coming from outside
wherever there are sound nuisances.
A significant portion of your window consists of a glass surface. For this reason, your glass choice for the sealed units of your new windows is
very important. A high-performance glass – like low emission (Low-E) glass – increases your windows’ “R” factor. It slows heat transfer to the
outside in winter and does the opposite during summer, thus making your home more comfortable and reduces demands on your heating
and cooling systems. Talk to your Vimat specialist.

Standard Characteristics
What is the impact of energy glass
on energy consumption?
A Low-E coating enhances the insulation properties of the glass
by up to 40%*. Argon gas filling between the two panes doubles
the insulating effect and optimizes the thermal qualities of Low-E
glass.

amount saved compared to ordinary glass)

High Performance Spacer Bars
EVEN MORE EFFICIENCY WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE
STAINLESS STEEL SPACER BARS
All thermopanes used by Vimat Windows and Doors include
spacer bars that are specially designed for Canadian winters.
Made of thin stainless steel, these spacer bars reduce heat
transfer from the window, while conserving the polyisobutylene/silicone double barrier system for extreme durability.

A PLASTIC FILM THAT PROTECTS YOUR WINDOWS
WHEN THEY NEED IT
Upon request, Vimat applies a protective film to both
sides of the glass while in the factory. Once your project is
completed, the film peels off easily, removing all dirt and factory stickers. This film eliminates the risk of scratching the glass
to remove specks of paint with a razor blade, and window cleaning
in no longer necessary when your renovations are finished.

PAINT
Like the many colour shades in nature, Vimat PVC and hybrid windows are available in an impressive range of
colours. We use a specially formulated paint that reflects sun rays and prolongs the life of PVC and Aluminum
components. All our coloured PVC and hybrid windows also come with a 10 year warranty against peeling and
excessive discolouration.
JAMB EXTENSIONS
A perfect installation finish often requires the addition of a jamb extension to ensure an aesthetic transition
between the window frame and the interior or exterior walls. Vimat Doors & Windows makes a full range of
jamb extensions designed to meet your installation requirements.
OUR PVC HYBRID AND WINDOWS COME IN A WIDE RANGE OF COLOURS
