Windows Made to Withstand Every Climate
Wood windows engineered for net-zero and cold-climate construction.
Every Polar Maxima window is designed as a thermal component of the structure, ensuring consistent insulation performance, controlled air exchange, and reduced energy demand over the life of the building.
Fixed windows
High-performance, non-operable windows designed to maximize daylight, views, and thermal efficiency. Built with Polar Maxima’s thermally optimized frame and advanced glazing technology, fixed windows deliver exceptional air-tightness, reduced heat transfer, and long-term durability—making them ideal for net-zero, passive, and cold-climate construction. Perfect for residential, commercial, and curtain wall applications, fixed windows deliver high thermal performance and maximum daylight with unobstructed views.
Casement Windows
Side-hinged, outward-opening windows designed for controlled ventilation and reliable performance. Polar Maxima casement windows combine a thermally optimized frame, advanced glazing options, and secure multi-point locking to deliver airtightness, durability, and ease of operation. Their clean design allows for unobstructed views while providing efficient airflow when opened.
Tilt & Turn Windows
Dual-function windows offering inward tilt for controlled ventilation and full inward opening for egress and maintenance. Polar Maxima tilt & turn windows combine a thermally optimized frame with stainless steel hardware and multi-point locking to deliver airtightness, security, and long-term durability—ideal for high-performance and multi-unit buildings.
Awning Windows
Top-hinged, outward-opening windows designed for controlled ventilation, even during light rain. Polar Maxima awning windows combine a thermally optimized frame with advanced glazing options to deliver airtight performance, durability, and reliable airflow. Their clean, minimal profile integrates seamlessly into residential and commercial designs.
