Peace of Mind

Our exclusive and transferable lifetime warranty grants you peace of mind. Standing behind our commitment to ensure Armor products are made with only the finest materials and workmanship, we offer a:

SOLAR BOND PAINT

The exterior of any Armor window can be colour-matched to any desired hue with our proprietary SOLAR BOND™ paint coating. We also offer a palette of 13 standard and endless custom exterior Solar Bond colours, each covered by a 10-year warranty.

SELF-CLEANING GLASS

Armor’s standard EverClear® technology reduces the frequency at which you must wash your windows by breaking down dust, dirt and organic deposits from the surface of the glass when it is exposed to the sun’s rays. The loose particles are then washed away when it rains, leaving the glass cleaner longer.

SUPERIOR INSULATING VALUE

Glass alone cannot filter or retain heat. Armor windows come with a low-emissivity (LoE) coating option that increases the window’s insulation value by up to 40%, while reducing condensation build-up and protecting your indoor furnishings from the sun’s damaging UV rays. 

LoE glass: How it Works

Armor’s Weather Tech glass keeps your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. In the winter, Weather Tech glass feels warm to the touch on the inside because it retains the long-wave radiation emitted from your heating system. In the summer, it keeps the interior of your home cooler because the exterior of the glass filters and reflects and part of the sun’s radiant heat back towards the outside. 

Lo-E Glass Helps Reduce Condensation

When the moisture vapour contained in a room comes into contact with the cold surface of a window, it condenses and changes to water. That water can encourage the growth of mold, mildew and other allergens. Not only can these living organisms cause your windows to deteriorate prematurely, they can also bring on health problems. Armor’s LoE glass coating when combined with Vapour Shield gas keeps the window’s interior temperature warmer, thus helping to reduce the onset of condensation. 

CARDINAL ENDUR IG SPACER BAR

Inside quality built windows you will find a spacer between the layers of glass. Its purpose is to separate, seal and insulate the layers of glass, helping to keep your home warmer.

At Vinylbilt we use the Cardinal Glass EndurIG™ Spacer Bar, which delivers amazing long-term performance. The EndurIG™ is composed of 4 elements:

Polyisobutylene (PIB) Primary Seal: Minimizes moisture permeation, is UV resistant and provides an outstanding Argon barrier.

Inorganic Silicone Secondary Seal: Superior resistance to moisture, temperature, and ultraviolet radiation versus organic sealants (polysulfide, hot melt butyl, and polyurethane).

Stainless Steel Spacer: The extraordinarily thin 0.0025” corrugated top significantly reduces heat conduction along the top of the spacer, improves performance, and is extremely crush resistant.

Desiccant: High adsorption 3A molecular sieve beads provide an increased desiccating capacity compared to many other spacers; higher desiccant capacity equates to longer life.

THE SPACER THAT LASTS

Cardinal’s EndurIG™ Spacer Bar is a warm-edge, stainless steel spacer that provides long-term performance. It delivers the industry’s lowest failure rate and provides outstanding thermal performance and solar control.
