Keepsafe

Keep Safe Glass

Imagine glass windows and doors that stand up to hurricane-force winds up to 110 mph… that protect against flying debris… that resist forced entry… and that work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in your home. Now there’s a single kind of product that delivers it all–windows and door systems made with KeepSafe Maximum glass. Similar to car windshields and aircraft windows, KeepSafe Maximum is produced by bonding a tough polyvinyl butyral (PVB) plastic interlayer between two pieces of glass under heat and pressure. Once sealed, the glass “sandwich” works as a single unit and appears transparent, just like ordinary glass. The result? You get windows and door systems with a durable, scratch resistant, high-performance glazing material that helps stand up to hurricanes, high winds and more, plus a number of other benefits as well.

Loewen

Loewen Windows

It began at the turn of the twentieth century on the lonely prairies of southern Manitoba. Here in the village of Steinbach, a group of Mennonite families, including the Loewens, had migrated from Russia. Among the first things made by the Loewen millwork for the fast-growing community were humble items like church pews and bee-keeping equipment. But soon, windows and doors became our specialties. The key to our success is simple: while we’ve remained faithful to our roots — particularly in our deeply held traditional craft values and our work ethic — we’ve also grown to embrace new technologies and ideas from places as diverse as Europe, Japan, America and, of course, Canada. We are a company where seeming opposites exist in harmony: the old and the new; delicate beauty and a steely toughness; and pride in craft tempered by an abiding humility. The result is windows and doors that possess a rich heritage, a striking beauty, even a kind of soul you won’t find anywhere else in the world.
