Your windows shouldn’t be failing to do the one job they are meant to do for you to protect you and your home from the outside elements. In fact, with the way windows have evolved in the last 30 years, we think you should expect even more from your windows.

Did you know that windows and doors can account for up to 25-30% of total house heat loss? One way you can reduce this waste (and cut your heating bill!) is by ensuring that your windows are properly insulated. Using the right combination of fibreglass insulation, expanding foam and caulking will keep warm air from leaking out, and cold air from seeping in. Because windows are covered by a sash and frame, it’s difficult to see whether your installer has done a good job of insulating. Be sure to ask your installer what materials they are using to insulate your new windows

You want to make sure that you choose glass that fits your needs. The type of glass you pick can make a huge difference on your indoor experience, save you money on heating and cooling, and drastically reduce fading to furniture and decor by blocking ultraviolet rays. Low-E, or low-emissivity is a razor-thin coating added to windows that minimizes the infrared and UV rays that come in through your window, without blocking natural light. The Low-E coating works by reflecting back the warm and cool air already in your home so you don’t lose it through the windows. You can also opt for frosted glass for some windows (like in your bathroom) and save money on expensive blinds. Making these decisions on the front end can make a big difference in how you enjoy your home.

Here's a quick tip on capping and caulking. Talk to your window installation specialist about their capping and caulking process to ensure your new windows receive optimal protection from water damage and drafts. If you’re choosing to do a retrofit, it’s important to make sure that you receive new capping along with caulking. New capping will not only freshen up the look of your home’s exterior, but it will also add extra reinforcement so your windows are safely sealed from the outside elements (insects, rain, snow, air). If you go with the brick-to-brick window installation, you won’t need to worry about capping and instead, you can go with a cleaner look outside of the window with vinyl reinforcement and no screws on the outside.

Retrofitting vs. Brick-to-Brick Replacement: This one is really important! Make sure you know the difference between a simple window replacement and a full-frame installation so you can make an educated decision about which option is best for your home. Sometimes a simple retrofit installation can be the right choice, which is when the existing frame of the window remains, and only the sash (the frame around each panel of the glass) is replaced. In a full-frame replacement, o...r brick-to-brick replacement, you can get a peak under the hood. It’s a more intensive process of removing the entire window and its frame down to the studs, but it can save you a lot of hassle and money in the long run. When removing the full window, it’s quite common to find rotting wood, ant infestations or water damage that will wreak havoc on even perfectly-installed windows. If those issues are fixed below the surface, then your new windows can be installed with the promise of more longevity and full protection. You will also get more window space, which means more daylight! See more

What’s happening below the surface? When these issues start to arise, you need window replacements that give you permanent solutions. The problem is, it’s hard for homeowners to know if their windows have been installed properly just by looking at them. Since issues like leaking, water damage and drafts are often caused by cutting corners below the surface, you won’t know that something is wrong until it’s too late. This can leave you feeling vulnerable to unknown structural issues or quick fixes that don’t address the root cause.

You know it’s time for new windows when... The signs have been there for some time now: a cold draft in the winter and leaking in the spring. Your windows are hard (or impossible) to open and close properly and cleaning them is a nightmare. Not to mention, it’s painful to think how much money your old windows are costing you on your utility bills.
