Innovative Solutions from Winton Homes
As we continue to experience more severe temperature fluctuations, it's increasingly important to ensure our homes can withstand these extremes. At Winton Homes, we're committed to providing solutions that not only enhance the comfort and sustainability of your living environment but also address the broader climate concerns. Here’s how we're tackling temperature extremes, along with resources for those of you in Western Canada looking to stay informed and prepared.
Winton’s Advanced Building Solutions
- Triple Pane Glazing for Windows Our homes are equipped with triple-pane glazing, offering superior insulation by trapping air or inert gas between the glass layers. This not only reduces heat loss during the winter but also keeps your home cooler during the summer months.
- Winton PROLINE Series The PROLINE series features our most advanced building solutions tailored to maximize energy efficiency. With enhanced insulation properties and cutting-edge design, PROLINE homes are built to meet the highest standards of energy efficiency.
- High-Grade Lumber for Airtight Construction We use high-grade lumber that ensures tighter joints and better overall air tightness in the building structure. This meticulous approach minimizes drafts and heat loss, optimizing energy use and increasing comfort.
- Prefabrication in a Controlled Environment Our prefab homes are constructed in a controlled factory setting, which not only allows for precision and consistency in building but also reduces the chances of construction defects that can affect a home’s thermal performance.
- Thoughtful Design Choices: The Bow River Design One of our standout designs, the Bow River model, incorporates specific architectural features that optimize its thermal performance, such as strategic window placement and roof overhangs that provide shade and reduce solar gain.
