Windows & Doors

Give your home a stylish window & door makeover!

A simple glance may show that the windows in your home have not stood the test of time well. If this is the case, before undertaking anything in terms of renovation spending, it is important to thoroughly review your options.

 Energy Efficient Windows
If your window frames are weakened, cracked or damaged by mold, it may be wise and even essential to invest in installing new windows for your home. Renovating or upgrading windows and doors, no matter how large, contributes to the value of your home and can allow you to make substantial energy savings. Be aware that a significant loss of heat in your home (over 15%) could be caused by poorly sealed windows.

Windows & Doors made of PVC, aluminium or wood?The choice of materials remains an important element of your renovations. Merchants and window manufacturers offer a wide variety of products at prices that vary greatly depending on materials, types of openings, shapes and sizes. Some useful information to guide your choice:

  • PVC windows:
    PVC has little to no maintenance constraints. It is weather resistant and provides good insulation. It also allows for a greater variety of choice in shapes and sizes (e.g. trapezoid, equal leg arch, etc.) PVC windows also tend to have the lowest cost.
  • Aluminum windows:
    Aluminium is extremely useful in the design and technical performance and requires very little maintenance. It is a material that also offers a great variety of choice when it comes to hues, sizes and shapes. However, aluminium is generally less efficient in terms of insulation.
  • Hybrid windows
    Hybrid windows combine the advantages of the exterior aesthetics of a material with the internal insulation advantages of PVC. It also provides cost savings when compared to windows of aluminium or wood.
  • Wood windows:
    Wood has a certain aesthetic advantage. However, a wood window only adapts to a specific style of architecture, and this requires rigorous maintenance if the wood used in its manufacturing is not treated in the factory beforehand.
