Full-Frame Triple Glass Window Replacement Project in Calgary

This Calgary home still had older wood double-glass windows that had become cold, drafty, and difficult to maintain. The homeowner had already painted the windows several times, and the southwest-facing units had rotten bottom sections from years of sun and weather exposure. Several sealed glass units also had moisture between the panes that could not be cleaned.

NorthShield recommended full-frame window replacement to remove the old frames and improve the seal around each opening. The new windows were Energy Star most efficient units with triple glass, Low-E coatings, and argon gas for stronger year-round performance. This type of glass package helps improve comfort during cold Calgary winters and hot summer days. You can learn more about performance options in our triple-pane vs double-pane window guide.

The installation included vinyl brickmould on the exterior and vinyl jambs on the interior, with casing selected to blend with the existing woodwork in the home. The project took two days: the crew completed the second floor on day one and the first floor on day two. The customer noticed the house stayed cooler, the AC ran less often, and outside noise was reduced when the windows were closed. NorthShield provides window and door replacement in Calgary for homeowners looking for efficient, low-maintenance upgrades.
