To ease the homeowners’ choice, we have simplified the designation of our products in order to list them into two distinctive series: IsoDéco and IsoPro.
IsoDéco is our collection that offers the maximum available options and some specific high-end traits. The goal is to come in harmony with the structure of your home and its interior design in the most optimal way.

TOP QUALITY PVC
All of our IsoDéco windows integrate profiles that are extruded from virgin powder, giving the PVC a pure and durable white as well as providing a remarkable glossy finish that is easy to clean.

Presented results are for informative use only. Official results for all Isothermic products can be found on the Energy Star Website.
1 These results are for a triple glazing with 2 Low-E coatings.
PerformanceChoice of glazingThe principle behind energy-efficient glass is quite simple and effective: a fine low emissivity coating (Low-E) is added to the glazing, which contributes to keeping warmth inside the house during cold weather and to block the sunrays when it is hot.
For all regions of Quebec, the choice of energy- efficient glass is profitable. Choosing triple glass is the optimal decision.
