Here are 3 questions/answers that can help make things clearer.

1. Should I store my window and door screens?

Although screens not directly exposed to the elements (such as for casement windows) do not need to be taken down and stored away for the winter, we recommend that double hung and slider window screens and patio door screens be stored away. Many people store their screens in easy-to-access places, so that they can be conveniently brought out when spring comes around.

2. How do I maintain screens?

Before storing your screens, lightly vacuum the meshing in order to remove the maximum amount of accumulated dust. Then wash the meshing with a humid cloth and a mild, non-abrasive soap. If needed, do the same for your aluminum frames.

3. How do I maintain my patio doors?

We recommend that you lubricate the rollers on the four corners of your patio-door screen frames with a lubricant once a year. You should also clean out the debris that can accumulate in the door rails. A quick pass of the vacuum cleaner should do the trick!

These three simple steps will help to extend the useful life of your screens. In the case of breakage, do not hesitate to contact your retailer for repairs or a replacement.

Have a good fall season!

While some people have a clear idea of the style and materials they are looking for, others look for inspiration from television shows, magazines or different decoration or design blogs. However, there are a growing number of consumers who choose to call on the services of a specialist.

For Émilie Beaucage, a designer at Mobilier Philippe Dagenais, window dressings are an integral part of daily life in our homes. They can be both elegant and practical, and she recommends spending a little more to get a product that will last.

“More and more people are realizing the importance of proper window and door treatments. In addition to adding value to their homes, window dressings can extend the life of windows, doors and furniture by providing protection from the damaging rays of the sun,” she says.

In keeping with recent trends, designers  work with suppliers who tend not to deal with the general public. One such supplier is J.F. Fabrics, a family business in Ontario founded in 1977 that offers an impressive array of environmentally friendly materials.

“To meet the growing demand for high-performance window dressings, we are working with products from HunterDouglas, which are made in both Canada and the U.S.,” adds Ms. Beaucage.

Stylish and innovative, these products are designed with a focus on child safety.

“People are increasingly concerned about the future of our planet, which is why we choose suppliers who reflect these values. The Robert Allen company, among others, offers ecological fabrics produced with dyes and finishes that respect the environment,” states the designer.

Regardless of your budget, there is a window dressing to satisfy your personal tastes and needs. And you’ll be happy to know that the designers at Mobilier Philippe Dagenais offer free in-store decoration consultations.

In addition to double‐hung, casement, awning, bay and bow styles, the Classic Collection includes radius and geometric windows in an array of shapes such as half‐round, quarter‐round, fullround segment arch and elliptical. Available in pine, alder or Douglas Fir, Classic Collection products can also be custom crafted and stained in production.

With so many options for exterior trim, tinted and textured glass, hardware finishes, decorative grilles and simulated divided lites, it’s easy to see why the Classic Collection has already become a popular choice of architects and heritage home renovators in Eastern Canada. Low‐E 179 insulating glass is standard.

Sliding patio doors in the collection feature extruded aluminum cladding. Swinging patio doors feature one, two or more panels and swing either in or out. This includes French doors that open in the middle with no centre mullion.

While many wood products are treated by dipping them into a preservation agent, the wood in AuraLast® products is injected. This method results in almost 100 % penetration, enabling JELD‐WEN to offer an industry‐leading 20‐year warranty on AuraLast® solid pine windows and doors.

“We’re proud to make the Classic Collection available across the country,” says Sante Cigana, Vice‐President of JELD‐WEN Canada. “The beauty and versatility of these wood windows and doors make them ideally suited to Canadian lifestyles.”

Details on all the products and options available with the Classic Collection can be found on JELDWEN’s website at www.jeld‐wen.ca.
