Full-Frame Triple Glass Window Replacement Project in Winnipeg

This 45-year-old Winnipeg bungalow still had its original wood windows from the builder. Several units were hard to open, and the homeowner could feel noticeable drafts around the frames during cold winter days. NorthShield recommended a complete full-frame replacement so the old frames could be removed, the openings could be properly insulated, and the new windows could perform as a complete system.

For homeowners comparing options for window replacement in Winnipeg, this project shows how upgrading the frame, glass package, and interior finish together can improve comfort without changing the character of the home.

The new windows were built with triple glass units to improve energy efficiency in both winter and summer. Triple glass also helps reduce outside noise and gives the home stronger performance in extreme weather. The selected styles included casement, fixed, awning, and a few slider windows, balancing airflow, convenience, and larger glass areas where the homeowner wanted a brighter room.

NorthShield installs custom vinyl windows designed for Canadian conditions, and this bungalow was upgraded with Energy Star product choices for long-term comfort.

The homeowner wanted the new windows to be maintenance free, so NorthShield completed the project with a vinyl package. That means the interior jambs and casing are finished in vinyl, the same low-maintenance material as the window itself. It keeps the inside clean and consistent without sanding, painting, or regular upkeep.

The full installation was completed in one day by a crew of four installers. For more detail on the process, visit our guide to window and door installation.
