Common questions

What is CSA A440-22 and does Crateworks hold it?
The Canadian Standards Association harmonized standard for windows and doors. Covers U-factor, air-water-structural performance, and cold-climate suitability. Crateworks supply network holds CSA A440-22 cert #80224506 on file. Cert PDF ships with the project submittal.
U-factor range for cold-climate Quebec specification?
U-factor range on file is 0.236 to 0.387 depending on configuration. Triple-pane LowE Argon glazing pulls U-factor down further. Specify the target U-factor at quote and we confirm the buildable configuration.
Aluminum in Quebec cold climate — does it work?
Yes. Thermally-broken aluminum with a PA66 polyamide thermal break decouples the outside metal from the inside metal so heat does not conduct straight through. Tilt-turn and casement configurations carry the tightest compression seals in cold-weather operation.
Do you ship to Quebec?
Yes. Source-direct shipping to Quebec and the rest of Canada on the CSA A440-22 cert. Cross-border tariff and duty are itemized on the quote.
