What advertising in Fenestration Review should tell you The message in the medium

by Patrick Flannery

Careers can take funny paths and mine is no exception. When I graduated from journalism school in 1994, media companies in Canada were undergoing a massive round of mergers and consolidations. In effect, people who didn’t know what the Internet was and what it was going to do to the media industry snapped up smaller newspapers and TV and radio stations that had already been weakened by the Internet and what it was doing to the industry. The net effect for a young journalism graduate was to exit university into an almost perfect vacuum of jobs in the field, since the market was flooded with veteran reporters turfed into the street by their new corporate owners in Toronto. After a couple of false starts, I landed a job selling machine tools that turned into a 10-year career. As you can deduce, I eventually found my way back into the media field, but my experiences selling machinery to small businesses across Ontario have provided a lot of insight and anecdotes that I fall back on to this day.

Here’s one. I remember going to a sales meeting in Cincinnati with representatives from all over North America. The vice-president was reviewing the sales figures from the various regions. The figures from Canada were conspicuously absent. I put my hand up and asked if he had any Canadian numbers. A look of extreme confusion passed across his face and he started asking around the table if anyone knew where the Canadian numbers would be. After a great deal of head-scratching and paper-shuffling, someone guessed that the Canadian numbers were rolled into the numbers for northern Ohio. He wasn’t sure, mind you – Canada was so far off the radar that this company five hours away from the border couldn’t say for sure to which minor American territory it had assigned the revenue. In their defense, the Canadian

numbers probably amounted to a rounding error in their overall national sales.

That was a long time ago and American awareness of, and interest in, Canada has increased a lot since then. But to get an idea of how oblivious many American companies still are to the Canadian market, try this fun exercise. Next time you are at a trade show or conference and speaking to a U.S. supplier, ask them how many locations and representatives they have in Canada. After they’ve answered (if they even know the answer), ask how many locations and representatives they have in California. The sizes of the populations and economies are roughly the same, but you can probably guess which market gets more resources. And by more I mean maybe one representative for all of Canada while the company has bricks-andmortar in every major Californian city.

So how are you, as a Canadian fenestration company, going to ascertain which of the suppliers vying for your attention are truly committed to serving the Canadian market? You are holding the answer in your hands. Fenestration Review is, as our tagline indicates, Canada’s window and door magazine, going out to more Canadian fabricators and dealers than any other publication. Each and every advertisement that appears in these pages represents an investment in reaching you, the Canadian window and door provider. Anyone can say they love Canada and will bend over backwards to serve you when they are trying to land your order. I prefer to evaluate deeds rather than words, and few deeds are as convincing as the passing of cold, hard cash. You can rest assured that a supplier that puts their U.S. money where their Canadian mouth is by advertising in Fenestration Review at least knows the difference between Toronto and Toledo.

YVAN HOULE HONOURED WITH C.P. LOEWEN AWARD

Yvan Houle, president of Montreal’s Portes et Fenetres and president of Fenestration Canada from 2011 to 2013, was presented with the C.P. Loewen award for lifetime industry achievement at Fenestration Canada’s Annual General Meeting in Mont Tremblant, Que. Jean Marois of Energi Fenestration Solutions, a long-time friend of Houle’s, presented the award and described the honouree’s long and distinguished career, which started at engineering giant SNC-Lavalin before he turned to entrepreneurship and started Portes et Fenetres, growing it into one of Quebec’s largest window and door providers.

ROYAL SOLD, CHANGES NAME

OpenGate Capital completed the acquisition of the window and door division of Royal Building Products from Axiall Corporation. The division has been renamed Energi Fenestration Solutions as part of OpenGate’s investment strategy to transition the business into a stand-alone entity. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Energi was founded more than 40 years ago and is a leading manufacturer of rigid and cellular vinyl window and patio door profiles, as well as interior vinyl shutters and other extruded vinyl products for a variety of applications. Energi is headquartered in Ontario with seven manufacturing sites in the United States and Canada, and employs more than 900 people. Andrew Nikou, OpenGate Capital’s founder and CEO stated, “We are incredibly proud to have acquired Energi as it has all of the qualities we look for in a lower middle-market, carve-out transaction: a great management team, innovative R&D and a high quality customer base. This is yet another example of how OpenGate Capital is able to deploy our in-house team to source, acquire, transition and ultimately drive new value into businesses with untapped potential throughout North America and Europe.”

Matthias Gundlach, senior principal at OpenGate, led the transaction and stated, “This was a very competitive process with both strategic and financial parties bidding for the Energi business. OpenGate provided Axiall with the speed, certainty and industry experience that they were looking for in a transaction partner. We were ultimately successful due to our ability to move quickly across multiple geographies, manage the complexity of this cross-border carve-out, and apply the experience in the PVC space OpenGate Capital has gained through our previous acquisitions.”

Jesse Hawthorne will continue to lead Energi as the company’s CEO. Hawthorne brings more than 13 years of industry experience and insight into the North American market having worked at Jeld-Wen of Canada and Royal Building Products. The acquisition of Energi is the third transaction completed by OpenGate in the past three months, and the second cross-border transaction this year following OpenGate’s acquisitions of Power Partners Inc., a U.S.-based power transformer business in January 2016 and the acquisition of Bois & Materiaux, a France-based building materials distribution business from Wolseley PLC in March, 2016.

AXIALL SOLD

Westlake Chemical Corporation and Axiall Corporation announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Westlake will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Axiall for $33 per share in an all-cash transaction, representing an enterprise value of approximately $3.8 billion. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2016. The combined company will be the third-largest chlor-alkali producer and the second-largest PVC producer in North America, with expected combined pro forma revenues of $7.6 billion and EBITDA of $1.5 billion for the last 12 months ended in the first quarter of 2016. According to the companies’ release, the combination creates a stronger company with significantly increased scale, greater product diversity and integration throughout the valuechain. Westlake Chemical Corporation is an international manufacturer and supplier of petrochemicals, polymers and building products with headquarters in Houston, Texas. Westlake’s range of products includes: ethylene, polyethylene, styrene, propylene, caustic, VCM, PVC suspension and specialty resins and PVC building products including pipe and specialty components, windows, fence, deck and film. Axiall Corporation is a leading integrated chemicals and building products company. Headquartered in Atlanta, Axiall has manufacturing facilities located throughout North America and in Asia to provide industry-leading materials and services to customers. Axiall’s Canadian headquarters is located in Woodbridge, Ont.

SAWDAC

NEAL TAKES THE REINS

Jason Neal, 44, assumed the duties of executive director of SAWDAC in March. His previous experience was mainly in the world of software sales management, including time at Electrolux and Research In Motion. Neal has a B.A. in Economics from Laurentian University. As executive director, he will take over all functions from the retiring David Mitten, including serving the dealer members, marketing the association’s Window Wise and Renoworks programs and educating the membership about changes to government policy that affect them. His immediate priorities are to expand the benefits available to members and to grow SAWDAC membership across the country. Over the longer term, Neal would like to see the association offer a program similar to Window

Wise for doors.

“When I met with the board, they said they were looking for someone who could add to David’s good work with the association,” Neal explains. “I liked the autonomy of the position and I like working with dealers. Dealers put so many years into their businesses – I liked the chance to offer programs that will help them.”

DOORS AND WINDOWS:

Attendees were shown how to make a header drip cap flashing with end dam that would integrate well with vinyl siding. Attendees made sample drip caps using hand-held benders. Much discussion and experimentation centred around how an installer integrated a drip cap with end dam into a vinyl window brick mould with built-in j-channel, which is popular in Atlantic Canada. No solution was found.

Other fenestration installation methods demonstrated were:

• Proper methods of shimming and fastening

• Installation of a sub-sill flashing with end dam.

• Foam insulation application and air-sealing

• Use of backer rod with caulking / shape of bead for best performance

SIDING:

Paul Martin showed photos of water damage to due mainly to poor flashing of a siding installation. Attendees discussed why the water damage occurred and how it could have been prevented. Flashing topics discussed were:

• Kick-out flashings

• Drip caps

• Flashing a round-top window

• Flashing around a bay window

• Flashing at the bottom of a wall and at transition planes in the wall.

• Flashing above a deck

• Flashing and set-off installation of a wall plate for support of a deck.

• Capping beams and columns

• Dos and don’ts of capping and flashing

“A lot of topics were covered and the clinic was pressed for time. Next time we’ll need two days.” Commented David Mitten, SAWDAC ExecutiveDirector

SAWDAC TRAINING IN ST. JOHN’S NL

Despite delays due to a blizzard, David Mitten and Paul Martin, conducted a one-day, hands-on installation clinic in St. John’s NL on February 10, 2016. The eleven attendees were a mix of home builders and building inspectors who were looking for more information about the various causes of poor fenestration and siding performance relative to moisture and rainwater ingress issues. David and Paul focused on specific installation methods that a) either caused poor weather performance or b) helped solve water damage problems.

LOEWEN ADDS SOUTHERN FABRICATOR

Loewen Windows has acquired an Arizonabased specialty window manufacturer called La Loma Windows and Doors, based in Tucson.

“The La Loma acquisition will be a complementary addition to our current portfolio of Loewen products manufactured in Steinbach, Man.” said Loewen president and CEO, Al Babiuk. “We will be maintaining the operations in Tucson, with the very skilled and dedicated staff there.”

Founded over 100 years ago, Loewen is known for custom wood and aluminium clad wood windows and doors for the premium residential and light-commercial housing markets in Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Loewen’s fenestration products are distributed through a network of corporate stores and independent dealers who work with architects, designers, custom builders and homeowners to develop customized solutions for their unique building projects. Clyde Loewen, senior vice-president of products and marketing said, “This acquisition will expand our offering of unique, custom architectural solutions for the premium segment of the window and door market.”

La Loma, founded in 2004, is a manufacturer of highly customized wood and steel window and door products, known for their distinctive craftsmanship and unique traditional and contemporary styles.

EUGENIE RIDES THE WHIRLWIND

It’s been a busy 2016 so far for Groupe Eugenie, a Montreal manufacturer of manual and automated window and door fabrication machinery. In February, ownership announced the appointment of Guillaume Cloutier as general manager of its JRC Machineries distribution division. Having earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing from the University of Quebec in Montreal, Cloutier has 11 years of experience in management in service companies, including three years as general manager and two years as president. Cloutier’s primary mandate is to manage the company’s sales force in connection with its global growth strategy.

Richard Chauvette, president of Group Eugenie, said, “The company is growing fast and it became clear that we needed extra hands to proactively respond to the requests of our customers. The time is right to appoint a general manager for JRC Machineries and we extend a warm welcome to Guillaume.”

On May 27, Groupe Eugenie won the Industry of the Year award from the Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie Les Moulins. More than 27 companies were nominated. Jonathan Chauvette, vicepresident, accepted the prize with pride. He took the opportunity to thank his father, Groupe Eugénie’s

LAMPRECHT JOINS PROTOMACH

Protomach GML Machinery has announced that Volker Lamprecht has joined the organization as director of business development. Lamprecht brings 28 years of window and door experience both as an equipment supplier and more recently as director of operations for Northstar, helping them grow their business by over 30 per cent in his time there.

“I am very pleased to be joining Team Protomach and helping Protomach and all its customers grow their operations,” Lamprecht said, “as well as providing technical support to further develop business strategies of process optimization and innovation for our customers throughout North America.”

president, Richard Chauvette, for his vision, passion and commitment to the company, as well as all the members of the team. “Everyone contributes to our success and we are very proud of our crew.”

Last summer, Eugenie inaugurated a 12,500-square-foot showroom in Montreal, providing an attractive space for demonstrating products and freeing up plant floor for additional production capacity. Less than a year later, the company has invested more than $4.5 million in a new 60,00-square-foot office building, which it plans to operate out of by autumn 2016.

“Eighty-five per cent of our customers come from United States and by 2023, we want to adapt our machinery to conquer Europe,” Richard Chauvette said.

With the economic benefits totaling over $11 million since the establishment of the showroom, Groupe Eugenie has grown by over 50 per cent in just eight months. The company, which currently has 52 employees, plans to exceed the one hundred mark within the next two years. In addition, as part of its worldwide expansion, Groupe Eugénie also intends to increase the volume of its offered machinery inventory as well as provide a wider selection.

MAJOR

EXPANSION FOR FENESTRA

The Fenestra Purchasing Co-op has welcomed five new members in recent months. Prestige Window and Door of Medicine Hat, Alta., Les Fenetres Quebecoises of St-Hyacinthe, Que., PF Expert of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., Huron Window Corporation of Morden, Man., Southern Glass Works of Weyburn, Sask., and Supreme Windows of Calgary, Alta., have all joined the purchasing co-operative.

“After speaking to a few members of the Fenestra co-op it became clear this would be a great strategic move for our company. Centralized EFT payments to vendors, and access to a turn-key code-compliant door sill were driving factors in our decision,” says Tyler Hopfner, president of Prestige.

Les Fenetres Quebecoises co-president, Jordan Desmarais, said, “In the short term, increasing our buying power and the networking generated by joining Fenestra were the predominant factors in our decision to move

forward. We especially believe this decision will have beneficial effects on the long-term for our company.”

Brodie Fehr of Huron said, “Joining the Fenestra group and using the benefits they offer is a positive step for our business, but in the big picture [they agree with] our philosophy at Huron Window to associate with window and door manufacturers from across the country that build on quality.”

“Supreme Windows is extremely pleased to be joining the Fenestra Purchasing Co-op,” said Martin J. Polychuk, president and CEO of Supreme Windows. “As an established and long-term window and door manufacturer in Alberta, we appreciate the benefits that Fenestra provides in terms of leveraging purchasing power, lowering input costs and the potential for pooling of resources. These benefits are important to Supreme in terms of maintaining and enhancing its competitive advantage in the marketplace.”

CROSS-BORDER VINYL ASSOCIATION FORMED

The Vinyl Institute has announced that it has expanded its representation of vinyl industry interests in North America by establishing the Vinyl Institute of Canada as a self-funded business council. This new arm of the Vinyl Institute significantly expands the scope of the organization’s efforts, and provides considerably broader representation of the vinyl industry’s interests, including broadening markets for vinyl product sales.

Vinyl Institute president Dick Doyle joined his colleague Aine Curran, Vinyl Institute of Canada’s president, in announcing this new expanded alignment.

“Vinyl products provide more sustainable and resilient solutions across a wide spectrum of applications, from water infrastructure, to building and construction, to healthcare, among many other applications,” noted Doyle. “Bringing both the U.S. and Canadian vinyl associations together under one roof, will enable the North American vinyl industry to more effectively and efficiently advance the industry’s interests.”

The Vinyl Institute of Canada Board met earlier this year to establish its new work plans consistent with the new Vinyl

Institute 2016 – 2019 Strategic Plan. The timing of the move was predicated by a number of factors including several major shifts in the global economy in the plastics sector, a logistical decision to align with a partner with similar interests and focus, and to blend the two entities into one North American voice on behalf of its members.

Doyle noted that “this alignment will allow for nimbler and unencumbered responses by the industry on behalf of its members, while providing an environment where collaboration between the two organizations can be achieved; representing all sectors of the vinyl industry. Along with our board at the Vinyl Institute, I am thrilled with this new partnership, and know that our industries in both the U.S. and Canada will benefit significantly from this powerful and sophisticated alignment.”

The Vinyl Institute of Canada’s chairman, Veso Sobot, explains “the vote to propel this alignment was a unanimous vote by members on both sides of the border; clearly an indication that this alignment is not only timely, but is a very much a desired outcome for all of our members across North America.”

TILTCO ADDS ALUMINUM DIVISION

Tiltco has launched a new sister company, TiltcoAP. The new company offers a full line of aluminum window and door products., including aluminum windows, doors and aluminum curtain wall products. TiltcoAP customizes and creates solutions to improve sustainability, performance and aesthetics for aluminum doors. The products will be fabricated in TiltcoAP’s new facility, effectively doubling the company’s manufacturing capabilities. The company says customers will be impressed with its product quality and customer service.

INDUSTRY EVENT

A STEP UP THE MOUNTAIN

Fenestration Canada attains new heights in Mont Tremblant

Raising the level of event execution, performance and member value was the common theme at Fenestration Canada’s Annual General Meeting held last week, and the hilly venue in Mont Tremblant, Que., could not have been more appropriate.

by PATRICK FLANNERY

LEFT: As an industry networking opportunity, the Fenestration Canada AGM is unparalleled. Where else can you get Greg Dickie of Atlantic Windows (left) and J.F. Kogovsek of Maxim Marketing in the same room?

RIGHT: A ride on a gondola to a reception at a mountaintop chalet complete with signature cocktails was one example of the classy touches on offer at the 2016 AGM. Drew Webb of Tremco and wife Michelle enjoyed the view.

Delegates were literally lifted to the top of a mountain for the welcome reception Thursday night, where the creativity and organizational skills of the AGM Committee and the new show management team, Zzeem, were on full display. The next day, Fenestration Canada helped delegates to elevate their businesses with an excellent education program featuring exclusive talks by hard-to-find experts.

Promotion and organizational efforts for the AGM were already visibly raised with a strong turnout of about 150 delegates and busy educational sessions. The general meeting reflected this upward trend with 49 voting members in attendance - a nice increase from some past years.

The change of venue for WinDoor, being held for the first time in its history in Montreal, was a frequent topic of conversation. Organizers are hoping that the excitement of a new city and the organizational and marketing efforts of the new management group can get attendance and exhibitor numbers heading up slope again. With

the AGM behind it, FenCan management and the marketing committee will be launching an aggressive campaign to promote the show.

Association president, Skip Maclean, noted that there was now competition for open spots on the board of directors, in contrast to past years where arm-twisting was sometimes required to get participation. Terry Adamson of Westeck Windows, Gary Blad of Loewen and Stephane Labelle of Eugenie were introduced as new directors. Rainey Read of Allweather and Mike McAndrew of Cardinal stepped down. Maclean’s term as president ended at the AGM, with Allan Doyle of Global Windows and Doors stepping up for the next two years. Doyle commented on the high level of energy and engagement he sees the committees and felt the association was at a “crossroads” presenting great opportunities for growth and progress.

“It has been my pleasure to act as president of Fenestration Canada and it’s group of dedicated fenestration professionals for the past three years,” Maclean told the President’s Dinner on

Friday night. “I have had the good fortune to learn from and collaborate with some outstanding individuals who have encouraged, mentored and supported me during this time. Friends and colleagues such as Eva Ryterband (the associations first female president), Kevin Pelley whose Atlantic charm helped weather many a storm and Yvan Houle whose passion and vision prepared us for the changes we needed to make. There are too many to thank individually. I will continue to be actively involved in the association and look forward to working with Allan Doyle and the rest of the executive during his term as president.”

The education committee has launched an ambitious initiative to raise the level of understanding of NAFS and application of building codes to fenestration across the country. A train-the-trainer “toolbox” of educational materials has been developed to prepare people in the window and door industry to talk to their customers and local building officials about the many new and confusing regulations in their markets. The toolbox will be promoted

with seminars and webinars throughout the year, and introduced to the industry at WinDoor. Jean-Francois Kogosvek of Maxam Marketing has stepped down as chair of the education committee after 12 years, making way for Steve Alward of Atlantic Windows.

Vince Porcelli of Everlast encouraged everyone to fill out their member profiles on the new Fenestration Canada website. The improved directory can now give users quite a bit of company information and displays logos.

Mike Bruno of Everlast chaired his first-ever meeting of the Membership Committee, where members discussed the need to promote a common message about the value of membership in the association. FenCan now has an account on Perkopolis where members can login with their member ID to receive discounts on a wide range of products and services, including entertainment tickets, hotels, travel and retail items.

Jean Marois of Energi (formerly Royal) noted the strong turnout of around 50 attendees at the Technical Committee

meeting. NAFS 11 is the big topic now, though the changes and challenges of implementing it will not be as severe as NAFS 08. The Technical Committee is encouraging everyone to get their products tested for NAFS 11 at the same time as NAFS 08, since products that pass one will usually pass the other. The committee has released bulletins on NAFS, changes to the Canadian supplement for NAFS and on the updated Fenestration Canada online energy performance calculator. The other big initative for the Technical Committee is writing a code change request seeking to remove the designation of PVC as a combustible material in the National Building Code. If accepted, the code change would allow architects to specify vinyl windows in high-rise buildings without the severe design restrictions they now face. The change request is due to be submitted in September.

The association hit another high point with the entertainment following the President’s Dinner. A hypnotist put several delegates into a deep trance and Continued on page 21

No time like the present

The future of this association looks good.

By the time this article is published, I will officially be past president of Fenestration Canada after three years as president. I will remain active on the executive team and with the association in general. Going forward, I feel secure in knowing we have the right people in the right positions and an invested, quality group of young professionals ready to lead us into the future. The association’s goal is to be the leading resource on all matters that impact the fenestration industry across our country. Throughout my years as a board member and president I have witnessed some remarkable achievements, many spirited and lively debates and participated in several lengthy and important discussions regarding issues that significantly impact our ability to make a living as fenestration professionals.

Skip MacLean is president of Fenestration Canada. He is business development manager for Tru-Tech Doors and has over 40 years’ experience in the window and door industry.

Upcoming in November, the WinDoor show will for the first time be held outside of Toronto at the Palais De Congres in Montreal, Que. Quebec has a deep and storied history of window and door fabrication and it is gratifying to see this segment of our industry receive some recognition and gratitude. My early years as a hardware salesman were spent travelling to Montreal to secure business from a very large contingent of window and door fabricators. Many of these companies are no longer in business. [No reflection on your sales practices, I’m sure, Skip. - ed.] However, the tradition of quality fenestration manufacturing lives on among the many window and door fabricators in Quebec. The ability to stage an important industry event such as WinDoor in a world-class city as Montreal presents opportunities to totally refresh and renew the experience and to integrate new and exciting programs and features not previously considered. The show committee, alongside the AVFQ (Quebec’s window and door association) and our experienced event management company, Zzeem, promise to present an event for the ages. I personally invite you to Montreal, this November 15 to 17. Your support is critical to the event and will not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Come and celebrate our industry, learn from the pros, network with professionals, discover new products and services.

Fenestration Canada is about developing relationships. It’s about how we can ensure Canadian fenestration products positively impact residential construction, now and in the future. It’s about the relationship between windows and doors and home building, renovation and changing life styles. One way the association can help you build these relationships is through influencing the development of standards that make sense for Canadian fabricators. We can do this through promoting Canadian window and door products that are at the top of their class in performance and affordability. But we can only do these things if we have the support of window and door fabricators and the other stakeholders of the Canadian fenestration industry. Whether you are a national producer, regional fabricator, hardware producer, glass manufacturer, consultant or something else, if your business is window or door related, you can make a difference. Your voice, opinion and experience matters. Become an influencer. Whether your interests lie in sales, operations, marketing or R&D, there are association activities and initiatives that could use your talents and provide you with valuable insight to the future our industry. Get involved! You’ll be glad you did.

 Strengthen your business through a powerful network, resources, information and education that enables you to be more competitive and successful.

 Have a voice and a seat at the table to address key issues and regulations that impact the fenestration industry.

 Engage and benefit from valuable connections regionally and nationally and member-only resources and opportunities. Whether you are a small fabrications shop or a multinational manufacturer, industry supplier or regulator, your organization needs to be a part of this dynamic association.

COVER STORY

SILENCE IS GOLDEN

Research into sound abatement reaps success.

Shut the window and cut down the noise. That’s the message blared across Canada by Bquiet Soundproof Windows and Doors. And people are listening. “Sound reduction is a niche market, but one with tremendous room for growth,” says Mike Montecalvo, co-owner of the Toronto-based glass window and door manufacturer. “Marketing has been our biggest challenge as most consumers don’t know our product exists or how it works. We’re educating them, one customer at a time.”

by JACK KOHANE

The background of Bquiet’s principals, Montecalvo, Anthony Gucciardi and Dave Rosolen, is in replacement vinyl windows and doors. They got involved in soundproofing about 10 years ago after receiving negative comments and complaints from several homeowners that their new windows were noisier than the original ones.

“We began to look at alternatives like using thicker glass and laminated glass in the replacement windows,” explains Gucciardi. “This was a big step in the right direction in providing improved noise reduction. As our business grew, so too were more requests for greater noise reduction. We got inquiries from people who had replaced their windows and still had noise issues and then we began to get inquiries from condo owners.” Bquiet’s windows are installed in front of an existing pane on the inside of a condo unit, which makes them more attractive to noise-plagued condo owners who often are not allowed to remove existing ones.

Montecalvo and his partners investigated numerous glass technologies until developing the bquiet window. “We built many samples and sound booths to test our windows,” he recalls. “We needed something that was operable, slim-framed and separate from the existing windows. After some trial and error we created the Bquiet window.” Bquiet’s prototype underwent rigorous trials by Intertek

Architectural Testing. “To confirm the window configuration that we developed actually worked,” adds Montecalvo. The sound reduction hinges on combining the thicker acoustical laminated glass and the airspace between the original window.

Bquiet windows are presently fabricated by a third party, though Bquiet will eventually produce its own glass to precise specifications. Designed to work in tandem with both newer and older windows, can be installed in just about any window opening and will open just like existing windows. “Reducing noise by a mere 20-30 per cent like regular windows is not what Bquiet windows are about,” asserts Rosolen. “Our windows are designed to use the proven scientific method of maximizing density and space to reduce noise by 65-95 per cent.”

Sound is heard through the weakest link. The ability for something to reduce the amount of sound that passes through it is measured in STC or Sound Transmission Class. It is expressed on a scale of zero to100, where 100 means complete soundproofing. To achieve an STC 100 would mean zero windows and concrete walls about three feet thick. A typical house with brick walls would have an STC of about 60-65 on the walls. The problem is the windows. A typical thermal window with 5/8-inch airspace has an STC rating of between 27-29. “Therefore, the majority of the

noise one hears is coming through our windows,” nods Montecalvo.

A Bquiet window is a second window that is placed on the inside of an existing window. It consists of six-millimeter laminated glass with a minimum 030 laminate and heavy-gauge aluminum frames that can adapt to most interiors. The idea is to mount the soundproof window at least three to four inches away from the glass of the existing window, such that the further away the soundproof window is placed, the greater the sound reduction. According to Gucciardi, a soundproof window that is located 4 1/2 inches away from an existing window has a three- to five-point higher STC rating compared to one that’s located 2 ½ inches away. “Think of it as a sophisticated storm window,” he says. “In rare situations the Bquiet can be mounted on the outside also, but a better result is achieved with an inside mount.”

Asked how Bquiet is different from other forms of sound reduction windows and doors, particularly triple-

glazed windows, Montecalvo states that when triple glazing, most manufacturers insert another piece of glass in between thermal glass therefore reducing the distance between the glass panes. “This offsets the benefit of the density of another pane of glass,” he argues. “Triple-glazed windowpanes are spaced closer together than their thermal counterparts, making triple-glazed windows only marginally more soundproof than thermal windows.”

What exactly is noise pollution? It’s defined as human-created noise harmful to our health and welfare. Among the worst offenders: Transportation vehicles, airplanes, trains, trucks, buses and cars.

Noise intensity is measured in decibel units. Human perception of loudness means a 10-decibel increase is perceived almost a doubling of loudness. Thus, 30 decibels is 10 times more intense than 20 decibels and sounds twice as loud. Distance diminishes the effective decibel level reaching the ear. Thus, even moderate auto traffic

at a distance of 100 feet rates about 50 decibels. With homes and condos being built closer and closer to main streets, this noise level is getting increasingly louder.

When it comes to the effects of noise pollution, it is known that the average person cannot sleep if subjected to 45 decibels of noise. “There is mounting evidence showing the importance of soundproofing our homes,” asserts Montecalvo. “In the home the majority of noise is passing through the windows. Although most windows today are energy-efficient they do not stop noise. Home is supposed to be our sanctuary, a place we can recharge. Instead we’ve gotten this cacophony of modern living – car alarms, sirens, honking horns, the hum of appliances.”

Back to STC ratings: Most windows are thermal and are made up of two pieces of glass (usually three millimeters thick) separated by a spacer. The common space between the glass is 1/2 to 5/8 inches wide. This configuration

Bquiet’s window overlays are fabricated from aluminum and made to create an air barrier of specific dimensions designed to minimize sound transmission. The design is the result of significant research and testing by the company principals.

FIT & FINISH Digital currency

Value exists in the intangible as well as the physical.

by Chris Meiorin

As I enter my 30th year of window manufacturing, it’s fair that I could be considered a tire kicker. It stems from not having the internet 30 years ago to meticulously guide us through our early acquisitions. Shop equipment had to be seen before it was purchased, most often at well-attended industry trade shows. You had to look under the hood. You literally had to kick it to see what it was made of, and with that philosophy much of the equipment we purchased over a quarter century ago still serves our company in some capacity today.

This model has seen paradigm shift over the past 10 years. Today, most purchases can be made without ever having actually seen or touched what you will buy. You exhaustively search all aspects of the purchase and if, when it arrives at your shipping door, it doesn’t suit your exact needs you can invest some time into modifying it to the point of offering full value. This is all fine and dandy when we are talking such tangible items as saws and CNCs, but when it comes to software acquisition and implementation the seasoned business owner can easily make like an ostrich with its head in the sand and make a blind leap of faith. I come from a tangible world. One of bricks and mortar, and while the software developers may well see their code as a tangible product, for the rest of us it’s right out of the science fiction Matrix.

When we set out on the path to find new Enterprise Resource Planning software (ERP), it was pretty much a leap of faith. I knew what I wanted, and had a good idea as to what we needed, but ultimately we were buying the right to use the software in a way the vendor saw fit. The software license agreement was 13 pages long, 14 if you include the nondisclosure clause. The Appendix A – Licensed Software Description was another 13 pages and the Master License Agreement was another nine pages in length. I read it all very careful-

ly, only to realize that I understood very little of it. This was, in fact, a huge leap of faith into what I might refer to as a “digital currency.” Currency may refer to any generally accepted medium of exchange, including non-physical media. A lot of the money that changes hands these days is never exchanged in any physical form. In this, software is like currency in that it has value without every taking a tangible form in the real world.

Recently, I had the pleasure of partnering with a young entrepreneur who was at complete ease with this new currency. I would like to suggest I was mentoring this creative and smart individual, but in reality his comfort with this new digital currency was of equal value to me as my comfort with bricks and mortar was to him. He described his currency as being “not real” where I saw it as the ultimate in value-added. He saw the tangible currency of bricks and mortar and SME manufacturing as being perplexing and somewhat unattainable and I saw in his world the value that a digital currency could bring to manufacturing. He has since taken his leap of faith into the world of bricks and mortar and I continue pushing forward with becoming comfortable with the new digital currency.

As we move forward in a new age of business, I remain fascinated with the knowledge that a young and creative mind can bring to a 30-year-old table. The companies that I see as most successful in what remains a relatively tight market, are those that are adapting and leveraging the digital currency that continues to emerge. This currency can influence such valuable tools as Customer Relationship Managment software, ERP, mainstream and social media and how companies communicate their message and their brand.

The digital currency of today is about sharing ideas, finding value and collaborating. Embrace it.

SILENCE IS GOLDEN

provides an STC rating in the 26 to 29 range. Thermal glass with a 13 mm air space has an STC rating of 28. Tripleglazing with three-by-three millimeter glass with a two-by-six millimeter air space is rated at 31. By comparison, test results appear to have shown that a Bquiet window over single glazing has a 43-49 rating, and a Bquiet window over thermal glass has a 45-54 STC rating.

Noting that Bquiet’s typical customer is a 40 to 60-year-old professional who is having trouble sleeping due to noise issues at night, Rosolen points out that most of his customers come to him from researching on the internet. “They are suffering from noise and are looking for solutions either because they already replaced their windows without getting the results they expected or because they have read that triple-glazing doesn’t work as well as they’d hoped.”

Condos currently comprise Bquiet’s largest market. “And we’re still only

beginning to make our mark in that area,” remarks Montecalvo. He sees many people who purchase condos from plans are amazed at how noisy they are when they move in. “Most owners assume the builder will automatically have better noise-reducing windows. Because our windows are installed on the inside ledge like shutters or blinds they can be more readily approved by most condo boards. We designed our windows to match existing windows sliders, hungs and inswing casements, allowing them to be installed in homes maintaining the existing esthetics and allowing the use of the existing windows.” Bquiet offers different thicknesses of laminated glass depending on customer requirements.

In addition to sound reduction, Montecalvo boasts that Bquiet windows also provide an extra layer of security. He declares that his laminated glass can’t be penetrated with repeated

blows, and which he maintains is stronger than a car’s windshield glass. Another benefit of laminated glass, he continues, is that it provides 99 per cent protection against damaging ultraviolet rays, meaning no more fading of drapes, furniture and flooring. As well, Bquiet windows may even enhance thermal efficiency by reducing air infiltration, moisture and are available with low E technology.

Growing urbanization, with its amenities and active lifestyle has ignited the real estate boom as more and more people decide to live closer to the city centre, closer to where they work and shop, even though closer to downtown is usually a pretty noisy environment. “Bquiet Soundproof Windows allow customers to live in the heart of the city without a lot of the unwanted noise pollution it produces” comments Montecalvo. “That’s how we differentiate ourselves and how we will build our business.”

STREET OF RICHES

A new chapter for a place rich in fenestration history.

When he built our home, my father took as model the only other house then standing on the brief length of Rue Deschambault, still unencumbered by any sidewalk, as virginal as a country path stretching through thickets of wild roses and, in April, resonant with the music of frogs.”

by JIM CHLIBOYKO

So starts the autobiographical 1957 novel Street of Riches (aka Rue Deschambault) by iconic Franco-Manitoban writer Gabrielle Roy, detailing her girlhood in the then-undeveloped Winnipeg neighbourhood of St. Boniface in the early years of the 20th century.

There’s still the music of frogs in April here but the virginal country path has been replaced, as these things usually are, by many houses and, hugging the banks of the Seine River, a series of light industrial buildings. It’s there you’ll find the brand new joint headquarters for MPD Glass and Vinyl Graphics and Voyageur Door and Window, right at the end of the Deschambault. It’s a firm that’s as French as Ms. Roy – and, well, the voyageurs – born and bred in St. Boniface, a place where the default greeting on sidewalks, especially with the older folks, is still “bonjour.”

Three men are in the well-lit and well-windowed boardroom: Michel Robin, the long-time owner, Chris Kaleta, the guy from next door that they brought on for his design skills (20 years ago) and the newly acquired production manager, Pierre St. Amant.

Chris Kaleta explains the differentiation between the two entities: “Voyageur Door and Window has always been the mother company. We created MPD sort of as a trade name to specialize in decorative glass, but we are the same company. We’ve grown at the same rate, together as a company and now, in this new space, it’s just a good opportunity for us to expand as well as utilize the space better, have better efficiencies, things of that nature”

And the company has been constantly expanding since its creation just over 25 years ago.

“We were originally just 500 square feet retail, at the Norwood (Hotel), in front, there. That’s when we took over the business,” says Michel Robin, the M in MPD. “There was a competition clause happening (with the company that Robin left) so I couldn’t make windows and doors for the first five years. So what I did is I started MPD with my brother Phil to do glasswork because that wasn’t part of it. So we did mirrors and all that kind of stuff.”

Eventually, the competition clause died out and the company could pursue its own plan, like the creation of EntryMax Doors and WindowMax Windows.

“So we started making our own windows in 2003,” says Robin. “Before that we were basically just retailing, a dealership kind of thing, for windows and doors. But we still had the fabrication for the glass, where we etched and started getting vinyl. Chris actually joined us (in 1995) when we were at 854 Marion St., and in joining us we were able to expand our vinyl graphics because that’s his specialty.”

Though Kaleta is currently more of a manager, he still puts his artistic skills to work on various projects.

“So when I came on, there was nobody doing vinyl graphics, things of that nature, so it was a natural fit when I came on board and began doing the designs for the etching as well,” says Kaleta. “Actually, I was a neighbour doing artwork for them occasionally. I was a production

manager at a sign shop, literally next door to where these guys worked on Marion. And the opportunity came where we just felt it would make a good merge. It was at the time, you know, in 1995, where we we’re seeing a lot of these decorative films being used. There were no glass shops, really, pushing the product; sign shops would touch them a little bit. Now, you’re seeing them everywhere. You know, they look like simulated sandblasted glass. I mean, that was one of the areas we wanted to specialize in, on top of etching.”

It’s something that still applies to the firm today.

“There’s a lot of guys that sort of supply glass in town; there’s very few that do the customization of it, all the etching and that sort of thing,” says Kaleta. “We want to be known as the go-to guys for all that stuff. So we supply a lot of door and window companies etching and design patterns for their doors and windows and whatnot.”

Later on, Kaleta says, “One of our taglines has been ‘glass, reimagined,’ and that’s kind of our schtick.”

As the men see it, the company was an early local adopter in a number of ways.

“As far as innovation goes, we were actually one of the first companies in Winnipeg to offer painted PVC, as well as composite frames,” says Kaleta.

“We’re the ones that started pushing the composite frames, big time. We’re pretty much the first company who eliminated all-steel doors, because we were all going fibreglass,” says Robin.

Things have changed substantially for MPD from that earlier retail location in other ways. The company went from 500 to 2,500 to 5,000 to 11,000 and 22,000 square feet with moves and expansion and the swallowing up of vacated neighbouring units. And don’t forget the disastrous flood from a broken water main break back in 2008.

Robin says of the flood, nonchalantly, “So it was either close up shop or expand. So we expanded.”

But, eventually, the team felt they needed a change from the expanding Marion Street empire.

“(It was) a mismatched place, because it was, like, uneven floors, rooms everywhere, it was very inefficient,” Robin says. “We had our eyes open for a building and we saw this one and we’ve been eyeing this place for, what, a year and a half at least.”

Most of their earlier expansion occurred at their place along Marion Street, a busy, noisy industrial corridor bisected in several places by rather active railroad tracks, an area that made the news in 2012 when a factory which manufactured race car fuel exploded into a picturesque mushroom cloud (while managing to seriously injure no one).

So, what better fate for this closed-up former AGC Flat Glass complex at the end of Rue Deschambault than having a homegrown glass business come in and take its place? It’s the last property on the south side of this Street of Riches, essentially a short, leafy residential street of 75- to 100-year-old homes (including the Gabrielle Roy Museum), before it dead-ends at the greenspace of the Seine River. For a company looking to ramp up production, to give them 54,000 square feet on 2.9 acres, in a place that’s already been primed by an earlier glass company, where you can unload trucks inside (especially

during winter) and which comes with its own five-tonne crane, it doesn’t get more gift-wrapped than that.

“Ironically enough, we actually would buy from this company when they were operating and we have three employees now that previously worked here,” Kaleta says.

That’s not to say that the place didn’t need work. This visit occurred a mere three weeks after they were handed the keys. The crew had been stripping down the building, including drywall and old drop ceilings (exposing impressive woodwork that had been hidden and heavy-looking walls that hadn’t seen light in a while) and were working on getting the place modernized and building a proper showroom.

“As you can see, we’re still doing a lot of installs,” says Pierre St. Amant, who had just joined the company a few months before. “We replaced all the windows, we reinsulated the building, all new air lines, air compressor, lighting. It’s brand new LED lighting throughout the entire building. Have you seen the back yet? When you see the back, it’s pretty impressive.”

Once in back, it’s obvious they’ve already made their changes, organizing the space into a logical flow of colour-coded work areas. There’s a lot of space to work with and high, high ceilings, including a raised skylight feature that floods the centre of the floor with natural light. In other, darker areas, the lighting is rigged with motion detectors and heat sensors, to shut off when not in use.

“The employees are very happy with their situation. It’s night and day for them, literally, even when it comes to the lights,” St. Amant says of the 25 or so staff (a number which keeps on going up). “Seeing as the old place was very hard to get an efficient flow-through for your production, now with the new location, we’re trying to establish a new culture of best practices and create an environment where the workers see themselves more as craftsmen in their trade. What we want to develop here is window school, door school and a glass and installation school.”

“It’s very exciting for us,” Kaleta adds.

And the big move isn’t the only change that MPD/Voyageur has had to deal with lately. The P in MPD is Phil, Michel Robin’s brother, who just retired because of health reasons. (The D was for other brother Dan, who left the business years ago.)

Says St. Amant, “I came in right at a good transition because I come a bit from an operations background, project management, and with Chris just trying to deal with the loss of a partner there due to illness and him having to take on all that and Michel just managing the business, they needed a project manager to do the move or to help with the move.”

“Now it’s Pierre who takes over the P,” adds Robin, to much laughter.

Which isn’t to say that there aren’t other challenges.

“In the windows side, a very challenging thing is, number one, the regulations have increased a lot,” Robin says. “The other challenge would be the economic downturn; you have a lot of eastern companies that are coming down west here because the economy’s still good; they’re tanking. And there coming here with their low-balling windows and stuff like this. Those are all challenging little aspects of the industry that you got to contend with. And then you got those that are offering Ponzi schemes, as far as their warranties are concerned, putting a warranty on stuff that are rated 20 years, but they put lifetime warranty. You want to be real to the customer, right?

You want to give genuine warranties, but it’s also got to be manageable.”

“I guess the challenge of managing the move and developing a new culture. We’re strapped for time and staff; we’re a growing company,” adds St. Amant.

With all those the changes recently having taken place, the company can concentrate on their modest future plans, like tripling business in the next 10 years.

“We hired other people that will be starting in September. So those are other aspects: that we’re trying to grow the business and put package bids instead of little aspects of projects – trying to think a little more in that way,” says Robin. “One of the things we’re looking for is to export more outside of Winnipeg, both neighbouring provinces but also possibly the States, especially when it comes to pantry door glass. We’re looking to expand outside of Winnipeg, so now we have the means and the building to help us do that.”

Adds Kaleta, wearing his designer hat, “Right now we’ve developed a program for some of our door lights that we’ve partnered with another door manufacturer who carries the product and sells the product. So they have distribution across western Canada. It’s our hope to continue to grow that market as well.”

There are a couple of other projects the gentlemen say they aren’t at liberty to discuss quite yet, partnerships of one kind or another. But, there’s currently other things to deal with; one doesn’t get over a move in just a month’s time.

“It’s just a matter of now regrouping after this move and start focusing on those things, establishing our staff, to manage more of the business instead of working on all the little details.” says Robin. “To get stuff out of your head and put it (in) somebody else’s.”

And ten years from now, if the planets align (and the business does, in fact, triple), the partners at MPD/Voyageur will find out if Rue Deschambault really is their own Street of Riches.

A stylish showroom creates excitement for customers visiting Voyageur. From left to right, Pierre St. Amant, Chris Kaleta and Michel Robin are the company principals.

STEP UP THE MOUNTAIN

treated the audience to some hilarious examples of ballet dancing, elbow inspections, laughter policing and other bizarre behaviour.

Fenestration Canada and the industry it serves is facing challenges and a long climb back to the high points of days gone by. But if the energy and enthusiasm on display at the AGM are any indication, both entities have the strength and determination to get all the way to the top.

Fenestration Canada’s Fabricators Council met June 9 at the association’s Annual General Meeting in Mont Tremblant, Que., to discuss important issues and initiatives concerning Canadian window and door fabricators. The meeting was chaired by Lisa Bergeron of Jeld-Wen and included about 15 fabricators and invited guests.

The Council heard from Jeff Baker of Westlab, Fenestration Canada’s technical consultant that changes are coming to the Fenestration Installation Technician (FIT)

certification program. The Canadian Standards Association will no longer administer the test, leaving the program entirely in Fenestration Canada’s hands. The future direction of the program was discussed, with suggestions that a training element be added. Home builder associations have reportedly expressed interest in helping promote the program to their members, driving growth in window and door installation training among residential construction workers. A task group was formed to research possible next steps for FIT and to present options to the Council.

The Certification and Testing Agencies Panel has produced a document answering 12 questions from fabricators about compliance standards and testing methods. This panel of testing and certification experts was convened for the first time in 2014 at WinDoor and continues to work to generate common responses to fabricator concerns over inconsistencies

in interpretations of the North American Fenestration Standard and other standards. The panel will meet again at WinDoor 2016 in Montreal.

A potential Canadian Energy Star program for low-E storm panels was discussed. At this stage, NRCan is not pursuing such a program citing a very small storm panel market in Canada. The U.S. Environmental Protectioin Agency has issued an initial low-E storm panel specification and is likely to rely on the Attachments Energy Rating Council (AERC) to develop a rating, certification and labeling program.

Some changes to the Fabricator Council’s procedures were announced. Greg Dickie of Atlantic Windows and Gary Blad of Loewen Windows will now co-chair the Council with Bergeron. The Council will look at implementing meetings every two months, with participation via conference call for members across the country.
