Tilt-and-Turn Window Replacement Project in Etobicoke, Ontario

A 1960 Etobicoke home received 11 custom-size tilt-and-turn European-style windows with retrofit installation, new exterior aluminum cladding, Low-E glass, argon gas and triple glass on the south wall for extra soundproofing.

Project Overview

This Etobicoke project was completed for a home built around 1960. The homeowner wanted a custom window upgrade using tilt-and-turn European-style windows, with every unit custom sized and fitted to the existing openings.

NorthShield recommended a retrofit installation method for this home. This allowed the crew to keep the existing openings and install the new custom windows cleanly, while updating the exterior with new aluminum cladding. For homeowners planning a similar window replacement project in Etobicoke, this approach can improve performance while respecting the existing structure of the home.

Our Solution

The project used tilt-and-turn European-style windows, giving the homeowner flexible operation and strong everyday usability. Each window was custom measured for its existing opening so the new units could fit properly within the retrofit installation plan.

The main glass package used double glass with Low-E coating and argon gas for improved energy efficiency and comfort. On the south wall, NorthShield used triple glass to provide maximum soundproofing because the homeowner was dealing with noise from an AC unit and nearby neighbours. NorthShield’s triple-pane versus double-pane window guide explains why triple glass can be helpful when sound reduction and comfort are priorities.

Installation Details

The installation included 11 windows and was completed in one day by a two-person NorthShield crew. The exterior finishing was completed with new aluminum cladding, giving the outside of the window openings a cleaner and more durable finish.

The finished project gave the home custom-fitted tilt-and-turn windows, improved energy efficiency, better operation and added soundproofing where it was needed most. The combination of Low-E glass, argon gas and careful retrofit installation helped improve comfort while keeping the project efficient.

This Etobicoke project replaced 11 custom-size windows in a 1960 home with tilt-and-turn European-style units, retrofit installation, aluminum exterior cladding, Low-E glass, argon gas and triple glass on the south wall for added soundproofing.

Northshield replaced our upstairs windows in July, and we could not be happier with them. Thanks to Alex who guided and informed us through the whole process, and who always was available to answer our questions. The pricing was transparent and quite reasonable. The installers were efficient, professional, and worked neatly. The quality of the windows was a massive improvement over our previous ones. They are lovely to look at, give our home more natural light, and are easy to operate once you get used to them. An A+ experience!

I recently had new windows installed by NorthShield and I couldn't be more impressed. The quality of workmanship was outstanding, and the windows themselves are excellent - beautifully designed, durable, and noticeably improved my home's comfort and appearance. The team was professional, arrived on time, and completed the job efficiently. What really stood out was their exceptional customer service. They even followed up after the installation to make sure everything met my expectations. I highly recommend North Shield to anyone looking for high-quality windows and reliable service.
