Three product lines,
one envelope standard.
Every Cadence window and door is certified to CSA AAMA / WDMA / CSA 101 / I.S.2 / A440-17 and the matching A440S1:19 Canadian supplement. The three tiers below differ in frame material, frame depth, and absolute U-factor headroom, not in build quality.
Line 01, Hybrid
Cadence Hybrid.
A multi-chamber UPVC core clad in extruded, powder-coated aluminium, the everyday performer where envelope budget and energy both matter.
Line 02, Alu
Cadence Alu.
Our high-performance all-aluminium system, a 93 mm polyamide thermal break fuses two aluminium profiles into one extrusion, eliminating the thermal bridge that penalises ordinary aluminium. Slim sightlines, large dimensions, passive-grade performance. A 142 mm profile is also available for lift & slide doors.
Line 03, Passive
Cadence Passive.
Our flagship, a 130 mm engineered-timber frame with high-density EPS insulation, clad in an aluminium-and-PVC exterior shell. Naturally insulating wood and triple glazing lift the window to passive-house performance.
