Comfort in winterNo more

drafts.
A window that lets air through or a door that frosts up is often the sign of a connection that needs work. We look for the cause before proposing a solution.
This work is planned together with wall insulation and the airtightness of the house.

Preparing the right choicesWhat deserves
What deserves
our attention.
01
Installation matters as much as the window
A high-performance window installed poorly lets air and water through. The insulation and sealing around the frame make all the difference in January.
02
The cold doesn’t always come from the glass
A draft near a window can come from the frame, the wall or a worn seal. We look for the real cause before proposing a replacement.
03
The inside changes too
Replacing a window affects the mouldings, the interior sill and sometimes the paint. We include it from the quote, to avoid surprises.
Before you startThe right
The right
questions.
Do all the windows need to be replaced?
We can start by assessing the openings that cause problems and set priorities.
Are finishes included?
The interior and exterior scope is specified in the quote so you know which connections are planned.
How does this relate to energy efficiency?
Openings are part of the building envelope. The work is planned with insulation, sealing and ventilation.
Can windows be replaced in winter?
It’s possible depending on the type of work, with precautions to limit heat loss. The timing is discussed based on urgency and availability.
It all starts with a conversation.Where do you feel
