Triple-Glass Casement Window Replacement Project in Calgary, Alberta

This project was completed in Calgary on a home built around 1985. The existing wooden windows had become difficult to use, and many could no longer be opened properly. The homeowner was also dealing with drafts around the frames, outside noise, and moisture building up on the glass during cold winter days.

NorthShield recommended a full-frame window replacement with Energy Star certified products so the old frames could be removed and the openings could be insulated and sealed properly. This is especially helpful when replacing aging wood windows where the frame area can be part of the comfort problem.

The glass package used for this home was triple glass with Low-E coating and argon gas. This was selected to improve comfort in both winter and summer while helping reduce drafts, condensation, and outside noise.

The project used casement windows, one of the strongest window styles for energy efficiency, soundproofing, and water resistance. Casement windows seal tightly when closed, and the hardware package is backed by a lifetime warranty.

The installation crew arrived at 9 o’clock in the morning and completed the project by 4 pm the same day. The interior finishing package used for this house was a vinyl package, giving the homeowner a clean, low-maintenance finish on the inside and outside of the home.

For homeowners comparing upgrade options, NorthShield also explains how window energy efficiency is affected by glass type, frame condition, installation method, and air sealing.
