Black Window Replacement Project in Thornhill, Vaughan

This project was completed in Thornhill, Vaughan, on a home built around 1985. The old wood windows had reached the point where many were rotted, warped, split, and difficult to open. In some areas, water was penetrating into the wall around the window openings.

NorthShield recommended brick-to-brick replacement so the old frames, casing, and jambs could be fully removed. This gave the crew access to the openings and allowed the new windows to be installed with a clean, low-maintenance finish.

The customer wanted to update the look of the house, so the exterior window colour was changed to black. The windows include UV-protected exterior colour with a 20-year warranty against fading and discolouration.

For the finishing package, NorthShield used vinyl brickmould on the outside and vinyl jambs with vinyl casing on the inside. This gives the homeowner a no-maintenance finish without the need to paint wood trim in the future. Homeowners comparing colour, trim, and window style options can review NorthShield’s replacement window options.

All windows used for this project were registered CSA approved products with Low-E glass and argon gas. At the front of the house, NorthShield used Low-E 272 because that side faces southwest and receives a lot of sun. This glass helps reduce overheating and UV exposure during hot days.

At the back of the house, Low-E 180 was selected for stronger winter energy efficiency. The project used sliders at the back, casement windows at the front, and awning bathroom windows with frosted glass for privacy. NorthShield provides window replacement in Vaughan for homeowners replacing aging wood windows, updating exterior colour, and improving year-round comfort.
