Window, Front Door and Storm Door Replacement Project in Calgary

This 25-year-old Calgary home had older aluminum windows that were no longer performing well. During winter, the homeowner noticed heavy humidity on the glass and moisture trapped between the panes, both signs that the old units were losing efficiency. NorthShield replaced the problem windows with high-performance, energy-efficient vinyl windows built with Low-E glass and argon gas.

For homeowners looking into window and door replacement in Calgary, this project shows how a smaller upgrade can still make a meaningful difference in comfort, operation, and curb appeal.

One of the replacement windows was designed with an offset casement layout: one-third operable casement and two-thirds fixed glass. This gave the room better air circulation while keeping a larger fixed glass area for natural light and a clean view. The glass package was selected to support better energy efficiency through Calgary winters and summer temperature swings.

NorthShield often recommends casement windows where homeowners want a strong seal, smooth operation, and reliable ventilation. You can learn more about window performance in our guide to window energy efficiency.

The front door system was also replaced because the old door was drafty, outdated, and no longer closing properly. NorthShield installed a new entry door with glass, then added a storm door to create an extra separation layer between the indoor space and Calgary weather.

A storm door can help block wind, snow, and outdoor elements while adding everyday protection to the main entry. The full project was completed by a two-person crew in about half a day, with cleanup and removal handled before leaving the site. See more about storm door options.
