NorthShield completed a full-house window replacement in Markham, Ontario, after the homeowner experienced drafts and water entering around the old windows. The upgrade combined high-performance triple glazing with a brown exterior finish selected to suit the brick home.
The project included casement, fixed, and sliding window styles, along with wood interior finishing. A two-person crew completed the installation over two days, working from the second floor down to the main level.
The existing windows were allowing noticeable drafts and water intrusion, indicating that the frames and perimeter seals were no longer protecting the home properly. Replacing every window created an opportunity to address the openings as a complete system rather than treating isolated problem areas.
NorthShield installed custom-sized vinyl replacement windows throughout the home for reliable operation and easier long-term maintenance.
Each window used a triple-glass package with Low-E coatings and argon gas. This combination was selected to improve year-round thermal performance, reduce cold glass temperatures, and help limit outside noise.
The brown exterior frames coordinate with the brick facade, while the wood interior package preserves the warmer, finished character of the rooms. Homeowners comparing glass options can review NorthShield’s triple-pane versus double-pane window guide.
Casement and fixed windows were combined to balance ventilation with larger uninterrupted glass areas. A sliding window was also used where its simple side-to-side operation made it the most practical choice.
Several openings included arched transoms and custom shapes, so each unit was fitted to preserve the home’s original architectural lines. Learn more about casement window options for airtight operation and convenient ventilation.
On the first day, the two-person crew completed the second-floor windows and began work on the main level. The second day was used to finish the remaining installations, complete the interior and exterior details, and perform final touch-ups. NorthShield’s professional installation process focuses on a weather-tight fit, clean finishing, and careful work inside the home.
