Spec, supply, install —
one accountable line of sight.

Catalyst designs, sources, and installs the highest-performing window and door systems made in Europe — Cortizo, Reynaers, AIR-LUX, ALUPROF, Ventanas — for GCs, architects, and direct homeowners across British Columbia. From the architect's spec to the membrane integration, one team carries the whole project.

01 — How we work

Three stages, one team, accountable end-to-end.

Catalyst started as install labour and grew into full-service supply + install. We're the people who pull the shop drawings, source the European systems, manage the import, and put them in the wall.

01

Specification

Performance targets translated into the right system. Step Code compliance, Passive House where it fits, energy modelling on request. CAD shop drawings delivered for stamp.

  • U-value / SHGC / VT / air-leakage targeting
  • System match across 5 European manufacturers
  • Shop drawings in AutoCAD, stamped by record engineer
02

Supply

Direct relationships with European manufacturers and their Canadian distribution. Order to bond yard, customs, on-site delivery — coordinated end-to-end.

  • Cortizo via Vinyltek · 16-week lead time
  • Reynaers, AIR-LUX, ALUPROF distribution managed
  • Ventanas alu-clad wood for warm interiors
03

Install

Our own crew on the wall. Membrane integration, flashing, sequencing — done by tradespeople who treat the building envelope as one system, not separate trades.

  • Warranty backed by Catalyst, not just the manufacturer
  • Energy-advisor and architect coordination
  • Site survey, sequencing, closeout package

04 — BC Step Code calculator

Spec the window. See if it meets your target.

Pick a Step Code level, dial in glass, frame, fill, and spacer. We compute U-value, SHGC, VT, and air leakage in real time and check them against the BC target. Then we match products from our catalogue.
