NorthShield completed a full-home window replacement in Winnipeg for a roughly 60-year-old house. The original wood windows had deteriorated, several units no longer opened, and damaged frames were allowing water to penetrate around the openings.
The replacement combined full-frame installation with triple glazing, maintenance-free vinyl finishing, and custom operating styles designed to improve comfort, ventilation, and everyday use.
The old wood frames showed significant wear, including damaged sections and signs of water penetration. Because the problems extended beyond the glass, NorthShield recommended removing the existing windows and frames rather than leaving compromised material in place.
A full-frame window installation provided access to the complete opening so the crew could fit, insulate, seal, and finish each new unit properly.
The new windows were built with triple-pane glass, Low-E coatings, and argon gas for stronger performance through Winnipeg’s cold winters and warm summers. The glass package also helps reduce interior glass temperatures, drafts, and outside noise.
New vinyl jambs and casing created a clean, maintenance-free finish inside and outside. Homeowners weighing glass options can review NorthShield’s triple-pane versus double-pane window guide.
The living-room window was redesigned from three equal fixed sections to a quarter-half-quarter configuration. Casement windows on both sides provide cross-ventilation, while the larger fixed centre section preserves the broad glass area and street view.
The bathroom received an awning window with privacy glass, allowing ventilation while maintaining privacy. Bedrooms used casement-and-fixed combinations for an efficient seal, practical airflow, and more unobstructed glass. Explore casement window options and privacy and performance glass choices.
The NorthShield crew completed the project in one day. After removing the original wood windows and frames, the team installed the custom units, insulated and sealed the openings, completed the new interior and exterior vinyl finishing, and cleared the removed materials from the property.
