When it comes to a grand prize lottery show home, visitors and ticket-buyers expect luxury in every aspect. This home delivers, boasting 5,800 square feet and a waterfront lot in Calgary’s gorgeous Cranston neighbourhood. The windows and doors chosen to adorn this home would need to ooze elegance and indulgence.
At $2.4 million, no expense was spared to ensure this home was a showstopper. It was only fitting that Durabuilt’s premium Vivacé line was used to bring the rear elevation of this masterpiece to life. The smooth, eye-catching laminate creates an intriguing visual throughout the inside and outside of the home. The Vivacé window and door combination allows the amazing ability to impress guests with a fully open wall leading out to the back patio. The result is a home that stands out for its beauty, even among the high-end custom-built properties in one of Calgary’s most prestigious new neighbourhoods.
The feedback on the home was outstanding, and the visitors were incredibly impressed with the fully open dining room to patio space that was created using the Vivacé product.

In the heart of Sherwood Park, our client required the addition of architectural flair to a new build residential project that would become their sales centre in the neighbourhood. This high-end home needed to stand out and have an above-average appeal, as many potential buyers would be touring this home.
To ensure this sales centre was unforgettable to visitors, we suggested the implementation of eye-catching Aszura blue-hued glass against black laminated Hybridex windows. They loved the Hybridex line so much, they chose to implement in for the larger-scale project needs in additional homes throughout the neighbourhood.
We believe that the greatest compliment from a client is repeat business, and we’re incredibly proud that the client’s admiration for our work on the sales centre led to a larger engagement to supply product for the project at large. Our sales representatives continue to work with the client to meet their high-end design desires and budgetary requirements.

The client was working on building a lottery home in upper Windermere. Given the chance to show off their unique design personality, the client sought windows and doors that would create a memorable experience for visitors. The products chosen for this home would need to be show stopping.
The client fell in love with Durabuilt’s Vivacé line of products, especially the way the black laminate created a dramatic elegance against a light-coloured paint and flooring scheme. We provided a full range of black laminate products to carry the ambiance throughout the lottery home. On future projects, the client was eager to recreate the Vivacé look on a more feasible budget. By combining stunning Vivacé pieces with a variety of black laminate products from other lines of windows and doors, we were able to accommodate the client’s budget while offering that flair and contrast that their customers adored.
The client was incredibly pleased to get the feel of a high-end product at the more affordable price point that they needed to stay on budget. Thanks to a dedication to seamless relationships and above-standard customer service, a few short years later Durabuilt has become the sole provider for the client’s building projects.

All Durabuilt insulating glass units, across our various Window Collections feature the same premium grade all-foam, no metal Super Spacer®. Thermal efficiency through no presence of conductive metals is the Super Spacer® hallmark and one of the cornerstones of our high performance window solutions, here’s why:
Blocks Heat Escape
Resists Condensation & Mold
Blocks Unwanted Noise
Adapts to Extreme Temperature Variances
Withstands the Test of Time
Super Spacer units withstand 60°C temperatures, 95 – 100% humidity and constant UV bombardment in the world’s toughest durability test – The P-1 Chamber. Considered by many engineers as the world’s toughest simulation, one week in the P-1 Chamber is equivalent to one year in field; Super Spacer survives 75+ weeks *.
* Source Test: RLS08006B
Metal can’t bounce back the way Super Spacer® can. As a result of Super Spacer’s® 100% memory formula (TSS technology), it will expand and contract, but always return to its original shape. Rigid metal and plastic spacer’s cannot compensate for the natural expansion that occurs daily in insulating glass – especially with western Canada’s extreme temperature fluctuations.
Many of today’s windows offer glass packages with “warm edge technology.” The problem with these highly conductive metal-based insulating spacers, is that they can cause heat/cold transfer to flow through a window the same way you see heat conduct from the stove to a hot skillet.
Durabuilt’s Premium grade Super Spacer® can provide up to +10.2˚C warmer temperature at the edge of the glass.

Save on Energy Cost
Durabuilt’s triple pane windows deliver superior air-tightness and protection, preventing winter heat loss and summer heat gain. The dual seal combination keeps the entire glass surface warmer / cooler, especially on the inside, which helps retain energy. As a result, triple pane windows can insulate up to 60%* better than their dual pane counterparts.
