The company is cel- ebrating 25 years manufacturing windows and garden doors. The company’s windows are manufactured and sold locally from a Baddeck office and through a sales office in the Burn- side Industrial Park. Regional sales manager Reid Campbell says although the company serves all areas of Canada, many people choose PolyTech’s windows and doors in more extreme coastal climates. Reid mentioned PolyTech’s windows and doors use a heavier vinyl profile, steel reinforcement (if re- quired) and they use a thicker glass 4 mm. by 4 mm. double glaze. The windows and doors are multi locking on all sides so it produces a tighter, more secure product. Campbell says PolyTech Windows carry one of the highest CSA ratings: C5 for wind, A3 for air tightness and B7 for water infiltration. Campbell says about 95 per cent of the company’s work is custom-built, with orders from retail clients, builders and archi- tects. The company also sells standard items like garden doors with tempered safety glass and basement windows because of opening inward to meet fire code regulations. Most busi- ness arises from word of mouth recommendations. The European style window tilts in at the top for air ventila- tion and turns in like an inswing door for cleaning (or fire exit), with multi –locking points on all sides. “It gives our clients who live along the coast peace of mind.” With a lifetime vinyl warranty, and 20 year warranty on hard- ware and seal failure, quality and in-house control are important aspects of Polytech’s manufacturing. “We produce our own extruded profiles in house for better control and so if modifica- tions are required we can handle them on our own.“ For more information on PolyTech Products Ltd. please visit, www. polytechproducts.com.
