Everything you need to know before buying doors and windows
Auroral experts share nearly 20 years of experience in the industry to help you make the best choice
Energy ratings
Certified Energy Star® doors and windows meet specific requirements for energy efficiency for four climate zones in Canada (A, B, C or D). In Quebec, the minimum requirement is a B zone
Thermal Performance
The Energy Efficiency Rating (ER) of a door or a window is calculated using three factors:
- Solar heat gain
- Thermal loss
- Heat loss caused by air leakage
| Climate Zone | ER Minimal Index |
| B | 25 |
| C | 29 |
| D | 34 |
Our global certification code is NR 6884

Weatherability
Auroral's doors and windows always outperform the industries standards
In Canada, the CSA-440 norm is used to measure the resistance of a window and doors in all weather conditions (A3, B7 and C5 being the best ratings returns):
- Airtightness
- A1 to A3
- Canada's maximum standard
- Water tightness
- B1 to B7
- Canada's maximum standard
- Deflection under uniform load
- C1-C5
- Canada's maximum standard
Foiled wood imitation finish
Foiled wood imitation finish is unique to Auroral. We offer a perfect wood imitation, the will impress the fine connaiseure . So enjoy the beauty and realism of our foiled imitation wood finish on our doors and windows without the hassle and maintenance of natural wood.
Timeless
The main advantage of a foiled extrusion is that they retain their appearance as well as their original luster for their entire lifespan. This is possible due to the high quality film of the RENOLIT EXOFOL FX. The film is very resistant to changes in temperature, weather, chemicals and UV rays of the sun.
Minimal maintenance
Upkeep of foiled doors and windows is minimal, the surface is so smooth it does not allow the accumulation of dirt. This finish is so easy to clean that you can easily remove unwanted graffiti. Imagine the ease of cleaning of your new windows and doors!Moreover, it requires no finish sanding or varnishing since they are not affected by the deterioration of natural wood (rot, blackening) caused in part by moisture frequently causing a malfunction of the mechanism.
Technical Details
This foil is composed of five keys Layers.RENOLIT EXOFOL FX
- PVDF Transparent Layer
- PMMA Transparent Film
- Ink
- PMMA Pigmented Film with SST
- Priming Layer
The first layer is a primer.The second and third layer are the most important, since it is thanks to them that we can reproduce an imitation wood grain as accurate. The second layer is composed of a PMMA film (polymethylmethacrylate) is a transparent acrylic that is highly scratche and shock resistant.This film is impregnated with a texture wood grain imitation. An ink layer containing infrared reflective sunlight (SST) pigment is then applied to obtain a genuine imitation wood. Such protection is essential, since it reduces the heat on the doors and windows, while maintaining the original color of the imitation wood.
We subsequently applied another layer of transparent PMMA to seal it off. It enables it with better scratch and shock resistance.
Finally, a layer of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride film) is applied as a transparent protective plastic film of high quality. This type of material is used for its high weather resistance. His performance is so impressive that it is used in the aerospace industry.
Warranties
The results of the internationally renowned test RAL-GZ 716 show that the film exceeds the highest industry standards. With these results, our supplier increased it's guarantee to 12.5 years. Compared to traditional factory applied paint that is guarantee 10 years, the laminated wood imitation finish happens to be a favorite choice.Provenance
