Certainly. Replacing all the windows and doors in your home with high energy-efficient products, when properly sealed and installed, can potentially decrease your energy bill by up to 16%.
Replacing your original windows and doors with modern energy-efficient alternatives promises significant improvements. These upgraded options boast superior airtightness and incorporate advanced features such as low-emissivity (low-E) glass, enhanced hardware design, and inert gas filling between the panes.
If your doors and windows are older than 20 years, you can expect a definite improvement. New doors and windows can help keep your home cooler in the summer, reduce dryness in the winter, and eliminate uncomfortable drafts.
Identifying energy-efficient doors and windows is straightforward. Just look for the Energy Star® symbol and label. This certification ensures that the product meets rigorous technical standards.
The Energy Star® symbol and label indicate that a product has been assessed by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and meets the criteria outlined in their Energy Star® program. Products that receive certification rank within the top 15 to 30 percent of their category for energy efficiency. It’s advisable to purchase only doors and windows with Energy Star® certification as they are eco-friendly and offer potential cost savings.
Indeed, vinyl windows enjoy widespread popularity due to their numerous advantages. They boast energy efficiency and remarkable durability, and they are cost-effective while requiring minimal maintenance since they do not need to be repainted or stained.
Based on Energy Star ratings, the most energy-efficient window frame is a vinyl frame with welded fused corners. For windows with multiple panels, wider frames are more energy-efficient as they offer increased strength and allow the glass to sit closer to the wall. Additionally, opting for a one-piece frame minimizes air leakage. Frames comprised of multiple pieces that are glued or screwed together tend to be less energy-efficient.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:
We make sure to keep your home clean during our work. Our team uses runners and drop cloths and cleans up afterward. However, you may notice a bit of extra dust once the project is finished.
You won’t need to concern yourself with disposing of your old doors or windows. We will take care of removing all old windows and doors, along with any associated debris from the job.
The duration of your installation will vary based on the number of doors and windows being replaced. Generally, our projects are finished within one day. We can provide a more accurate time estimate for your specific job before we start.
We utilize low expansion foam insulation specifically designed for window and door installations. Unlike fiberglass insulation, foam expands to fill voids effectively and acts as a vapor barrier, sealing openings and reducing leakage. While fiberglass insulation loses its insulating value when stuffed into gaps, foam sealant fills gaps with a water-resistant seal, preventing moisture penetration and mold growth. It forms a long-lasting airtight bond to various surfaces, including vinyl, wood, composite, and metal.
Getting new windows installed during the winter months is actually a great idea, as we offer steep discounts. Our services are available year-round.
We make and install doors and windows using our skilled, professional team. We offer industry-leading warranty covering labor and parts.

Low-e glass, or low emissivity glass, features a thin metallic coating on its inner surface that reflects the sun’s rays and reduces harmful UV rays. This coating is designed to minimize the transmission of ultraviolet and infrared light through the glass while still allowing visible light to pass through. Learn more about low-e glass, here.

Argon, an affordable, safe, and odorless gas, enhances a window’s efficiency by approximately 10%. Being denser than air, it elevates R-values and reduces heat transfer through windows. Commonly employed in residential windows, it insulates the glass by preventing heat loss, frost buildup and enhances soundproofing.
The U-value measures the rate of heat transfer through a material or assembly. It indicates how well a window, door, or other building component insulates against heat loss. A lower U-value signifies better insulation and reduced heat transfer, making it an important factor in assessing energy efficiency.
The R-value measures the resistance of a material to heat flow. It indicates how well an insulating material, such as insulation or a window, can resist heat transfer. A higher R-value indicates better insulation properties, as it means the material is more effective at reducing heat flow.
Grilles, commonly known as window grids, can but generally do not have a substantial impact on the R-value of windows. While they add an additional layer to the window, they are typically made of lightweight materials like aluminum or vinyl, which minimally affect insulation.
