Architectural Windows

An architectural or specialized window is a custom window that is made to your specific aesthetic or design requirements. From circular window, custom arched window, pentagon window to windows that combine curves and contemporary angles, there's no limit to what we can do to provide you with an outstanding custom window solution.

Perfect combinations:
Alone or in combination with other windows or patio doors, custom architectural windows are perfect for your dream home design. Custom architectural windows manufactured by North Star and installed by Bayview Windows' experienced, full-time professional installers ensure that you receive the highest quality results and satisfaction. They are dedicated to quick, efficient, worry-free and tidy installations.



Energy-saving efficiency:
North Star windows and doors offer several unique glass coatings which help to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. These special coatings reflect heat back to its source. During warm summer days, outside heat is reflected away from your home. During the winter months, inside warmth is reflected back into the home. This two-way heat barrier maximizes the amount of light entering your home and enhances energy efficiency, saving you money year after year. Our vinyl windows are on average more than twice as efficient as the average window made ten years ago.

Outstanding products:
North Star architectural windows are made right here in Ontario and offer an impressive selection of innovative, superior, top-rated, premium vinyl products. All products are high-quality and high-efficiency. They are custom built for a perfect fit and to suit your own tastes. Seven exterior colours are available to compliment your home’s unique style. For the interior trim you can choose either a standard white or enjoy the warmth of an oak finish, available in either natural or Canadian tones.
