They usually open with crank handles and have a very safe locking system, preventing a break-in. Casement windows are also preferred because they open completely. You can have one that opens inside but mostly people go for outward-opening ones, as they are easy to maintain and paint. Because they are the only windows which open to their fullest, they can easy let in the breeze even the side breeze allowing your home to breathe in fresh air.

Investing in energy-efficient products and appliances is one of the best ways for the average person to reduce their carbon footprint and slow down the progression of climate change. So while we all wait for a breakthrough in renewable energy sources, we can start to do something about climate change -- from the comfort of our own homes!

How Vinyl Windows Can Transform Your Home If you would like to get a better idea of what you can achieve with modern windows in terms of exterior design themes, consider the following possibilities. Wood-Style Frames – One of the reasons that older replacement windows were unsuitable for traditional properties was the fact that white vinyl frames simply looked incongruous in such settings. However, modern vinyl units with realistic timber colours and grain effects are almost indistinguishable from windows with real wooden frames, making them an excellent choice for owners of handsome period properties in Toronto and the surrounding area.

While there are a number of reputable replacement window manufacturers out there, there are an equal number of cut-throat discount manufacturers who know how to produce a window that looks like a quality product but begins to exhibit problems almost from the moment it’s installed. But how do you tell the difference between the quality window and the fraud? It’s a question that’s kept plenty of Toronto homeowners awake at night and we’ll do our best to answer it in this post. How to Identify Quality Replacement Windows There are a number of different things to look for when attempting to identify a quality replacement window. Below we’ll get into a number of them. The Vinyl Itself: Both “virgin vinyl” (aka that which is newly made) and recycled vinyl are virtually maintenance free. So you need to find some other way to determine quality. With vinyl that way is simple: measure the thickness. Most replacement window retailers will provide a cross section of the window. Take a good long look at it and, if possible, measure the thickness of the vinyl. You’ll want to go with the window that uses the thickest vinyl. Check the Corners: There are 3 common methods used for creating corners in vinyl replacement windows; fusion welding, screws or chemical welding. Fusion welding uses heat to fuse the corner elements together into a virtually unbreakable joint. A replacement window that uses thick vinyl that... - Published: 2016-12-20 - Modified: 2025-02-14 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/window-installation-safety/ Your window installation serves as an entry and exit point in your home, not only for people but also for air, light, smoke, sound and so on. As such, they create an interesting conundrum for Toronto construction professionals – they must provide security and safety, yet they need to be highly accessible. They need to stop an intruder but allow for an easy escape in case of fire. They aim to optimize the entry of light and minimize the escape of heat. Then there is the whole seeming incongruity of children’s safety – they need to be safe from falls and shattering glass while being able to easily open windows as an escape route or for ventilation. What Features Can Be Implemented to Make a Window Installation Safer? There are, thankfully, several ways to make windows safer and more secure for adults and children alike. These methods aim to maintain a high level of accessibility and convenience while ensuring that your home is safe from the elements and potential intruders. These strategies and devices can be applied in many different kinds of buildings, whether you live in a country house or a high-rise apartment in downtown Toronto. If you’ve been wondering how to improve the safety and security of your window installation, here are a few tips: Make Use of Safety Devices in Homes with Children – Windows on higher floors present a serious health hazard to children under the age of 10, due to the risk of falling.

We all want to avoid becoming the victims of a home invasion, and we are aware that the best way to do so is by securing our homes against unwanted intruders. The entry doors are usually at the heart of our home security strategies. It’s vital that our doors are sturdy and secure, not only in order to stop an intruder from gaining entry, but to prevent the attempt in the first place. Coupling the right entry doors with extra security features is the best way to protect your home from burglars. What Are the Best Entry Doors for Home Security? When it comes to choosing doors for a property renovation, security often takes a back seat to aesthetic considerations. People are more likely to choose a certain door because they believe the material or style is a better fit in terms of its appearance. While nobody wants to end up with an ugly door, it is vital that you weigh security considerations at least equally with appearance. In order to do this successfully, there are a few things to look out for: If using timber, choose the types which offer more stability – timber doors are by far the most popular choice for new constructions and renovations in and around Toronto. Not all timbers, of course, are alike. Some are more prone to twisting and warping... - Published: 2016-11-06 - Modified: 2024-05-21 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/replacement-windows-household-insurance-premium/ It’s vital to ensure that your home is as safe and secure a place as it can be, from the point of view of your family’s and your well-being. However, the same factors also influence how much you pay to insure your home, and they can reduce the amount you pay for your premium each month, as well as drive it up. That’s why it’s extremely important to consider the effect that any renovation, particularly something like installing replacement windows, will have on your household insurance premium. What You Need to Consider Before Installing Replacement Windows Insurers won’t provide cover unless they see that you provide at least a minimum amount of security. There is no fixed standard, as burglary rates vary from one area of Toronto to another, and different types of cover come with different requirements. Many policies require, for example, that certain types of windows be fitted with particular types of locks. It is possible, if you ignore your policy when installing replacement windows, that you could actually invalidate your insurance by not fitting the required locks onto the new windows. This is definitely something you should look out for, along with other issues, such as: You Can Reduce Your Premiums by Providing Higher Security – If you’ve decided to replace single-glazed windows with double-glazing replacement windows, or if you’ve installed toughened glass where there was previously only ordinary glass, you not only reduce the chances of someone breaking into your home and stealing your money and... - Published: 2016-10-31 - Modified: 2020-05-28 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/windows-and-doors-buying-hiccups/ Buying windows and doors is something that seems simple enough on the face of it, but which actually has quite a lot of considerations that need to be made, including some pitfalls that must be avoided. It is important to work with suppliers and contractors who are local to the Toronto area, as they will have a better understanding of what works and what doesn’t in terms of climate, local regulations and overall architectural styles in the city. In order to make sure everything goes smoothly, it’s definitely worth having a plan or a strategy when buying. What You Need to Consider in Your Plan When Buying Windows and Doors Take these points into consideration before attempting to decide on exactly what you want. Your contractor may be able to offer advice and guidance, too, but the ultimate decisions will lie with you. Here are some of the things you’ll need to think about: Compliance with the Building Code – All construction projects in the Toronto area are subject to the Ontario Building Code, which focuses primarily on ensuring public safety in new projects and establishes the qualification and registration requirements of building practitioners. Thermal Insulation – Any new windows and doors will need to ensure that no drastic changes in temperature occur in your property as this will have an effect on the amount of money you spend on heating or cooling, in addition to your family’s overall comfort.

Otherwise you could wind up not only installing the windows improperly but damaging your home and voiding the warranty in the process. 4 Good Reasons to Hire Pros for your Window Installation The knowledge and experience necessary to install new replacement windows on your Toronto home far outstrips the knowledge necessary to say, replace tiles on your kitchen counter backstop.

That’s both a testament to what vinyl brings to the table and a commentary on how little folks remember about the positive qualities of the alternative materials; notably wood and aluminum. Because no matter how much market share vinyl gobbles up wood and aluminum windows are not yet obsolete and still have things going for them that might make them the right choice for your Toronto home. Determining if Vinyl Windows are your Best Choice Like many things that are wildly popular vinyl windows are neither as perfect as their proponents say they are nor as awful as their detractors claim. Fact is they’re perfect for many types of homes and maybe not so perfect for others. Below we’ll take a look at vinyl vs the main alternatives. WOOD Wood was the window material of choice for hundreds of years but in the past few decades it’s seen its share of the window market drop precipitously. However, wood still has certain attributes some homeowners find irresistible and they include: It’s the genuine article.

At the same time temperatures can spend weeks in a row below zero with howling winds out of the northwest and ice coating everything from the driveway to the knob on the front door. No, winter in this part of the world is not for the meek or the weak, nor does it show any pity to homes that are not properly prepared. This year, when holiday guests arrive to spend time and share in the joy of the season, make sure they’re not afraid to take off their sweater by securing your entrance doors against the worst of the elements.

They can be hung individually or as an opposing pair within a single frame. Casement windows are sometimes confused with awning windows which, unlike casements, open from the bottom and hoppers which pull open from the top. Casements can be seen on virtually every type of home in the Greater Toronto area from classic Victorians in Cabbagetown to ultra-chic odes to minimalist splendour in Rosedale. Below we’re going to take a short walk through the many advantages and benefits of window replacement using casement windows. 6 Reasons to Consider Casement Windows for your next Window Replacement Project Casement windows.

What doesn’t come up a lot is window enlargement. But enlarging the windows can make a lot of sense from an aesthetic point of view. Bigger windows mean more light and increased natural light has become a staple of much contemporary interior design. The problem is that enlarging the windows on your Toronto home is not a simple task and if done poorly could result in the need for expensive repairs. Below we’ll take you through the process of enlarging existing vinyl windows. How to Increase the Size of Your Vinyl Windows First off it should be said that window enlargement is not a DIY project. It requires professionals with serious carpentry skills. That said we’ll take you through the process so you have a better idea of what’s involved in case you’re contemplating having your vinyl windows enlarged. Plan: Determine ahead of time exactly how large you want the new opening to be. While you’re at it decide which style of window you want. Different styles of window open differently and require different amounts of space to do so. Simply playing things by ear could lead to the creation of a larger opening than you’ll ultimately need. Blending this extra space into the rest of the wall after the fact will be devilishly difficult to do and will likely leave a visible area around... - Published: 2016-09-02 - Modified: 2016-09-02 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/privacy-security-window-installation/ People replace their old windows for a lot of reasons, most of which fall into 2 categories: aesthetic and energy-related. Both of these are easy to understand and make a ton of sense. New replacement windows will, after all, elevate the curb value of your home which in turn adds bottom line value to your property. And when you install new replacement windows from Toronto Doors and Windows you’ll also see significant reductions in your energy bills as heat is kept inside the house where it belongs. But there are 2 additional, less obvious but equally important reasons for replacing your old windows and getting a new window installation: privacy and security. The Unheralded Benefits of New Window Installation When you opt for a new window installation you can expect that your home is going to look better and be more energy efficient. But new windows will also help secure your home from both intruders and prying eyes and here’s how. Burglars and wooden window frames: There’s nothing (short of an unlocked door) that a burglar is happier to see than old, rotting wooden windows and frames. All it takes is a screwdriver or crowbar to pop the window open and gain entry. With new replacement windows there won’t be any soft points for a burglar to exploit. Old single pane windows are an invitation: Soft spots in the window frame aren’t the only way an experienced burglar can gain entry.

For your convenience, we have listed these signs below. If you are about to have new windows fitted, you can check this list as the work is being carried out. Signs That Your Window Installation Was Performed by Professionals While it is of course important to do your research before deciding upon a contractor to supply and install aluminum or vinyl windows, you should still take note of how they go about their work once you have made your choice. Even if you are sure you have picked the best firm in the area, there is no harm in double checking. • Measuring Up – The first thing you will notice when dealing with window installation professionals is that they will carefully measure your existing windows to ensure that your new ones will be a perfect fit. If they are not custom made for your home, there is a good chance you will end up with gaps between the frame and the wall. • Careful Removal of Existing Window Units – Your current windows, whether they are manufactured units or separate panes of glass and wooden frames, will of course need to be removed before the new ones can be installed. Watch your contractor... - Published: 2016-07-13 - Modified: 2020-05-29 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/consequences-not-replacing-old-windows-doors/ Given the cost of new windows and doors, it is hardly surprising that many homeowners, in Toronto and elsewhere, delay the decision to fit them in their properties as long as possible. However, when you look at the possible consequences of not installing new units in your home, you may change your mind and decide that the sooner you have the work done, the better. Firstly, new vinyl units may not be as expensive as you think and secondly, the cost of not replacing old doors and windows could be more than you had previously imagined. Why Your Windows and Doors Should Be Replaced Before you decide to put off replacing yours, consider the possible consequences of doing so, as outlined below. • Higher Utility Bills – Older windows provide less insulation than modern units, as do older doors with panes of glass in them. This means that if you have particularly old doors and windows in your home, you could be paying more to heat and cool it than is really necessary. To establish exactly how much you could save by installing replacements, you should talk to a reputable contractor. • Less Security – Windows and doors that feature single panes of glass are an open invitation for opportunist thieves in the area as they are very easy to break. Modern glass units, with at least 2 panes that are separated by a vacuum, are considerably more difficult to break. While far from impossible to gain entry through such... - Published: 2016-07-08 - Modified: 2020-05-28 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/8-questions-ask-shopping-vinyl-windows/ Replacement windows are a big investment so you need to be sure that the company who supplies and installs them knows exactly what they are doing and that you choose the right windows for your property. Below are 8 questions you can ask the companies you approach all about vinyl windows, to help ensure that you make the right choices. There are quite a few reputable suppliers and installers that offer their services across the Greater Toronto Area so there is no need to settle for second best. Vinyl Windows: 8 Questions You Should Be Asking Whenever you start talking to a local company about replacement windows for your property, be sure to ask them the following questions. 1. How Long Have You Been in Business in the GTA? – A company that has been serving homeowners in the area for many years will be much better equipped to deal with any installation issues that may arise and will be able to give you accurate advice when it comes to recommending the best type of windows for properties in this part of the world. They will know which styles sell well, which type of vinyl windows stand up to the local weather conditions the best, and what other people with similar properties to yours have chosen to have installed. 2. How Long Will It Take to Install My New Windows? – Given that you will probably want to vacate the property while the work is being carried out, or at... - Published: 2016-06-30 - Modified: 2020-05-26 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/windows-doors-kind-roi-can-look-forward/ Although it is difficult to find accurate figures for the return on investment enjoyed by homeowners in Toronto who have recently completed home improvement projects, or indeed accurate figures for anywhere in the country, it is possible to take the figures released by a couple of respected institutes and determine some basic trends from them. We can, for example, easily see that landscaping the grounds on which your property stands can result in a return of 2. 5 times your initial investment should you choose to sell up and move in the future. While replacement doors and windows may not offer quite such a staggering return, they do represent one of the better investments as far as improvements to your property rather than its grounds are concerned. ROI for Replacement Windows and Doors If you decide to replace either your entry doors or your exterior windows in the near future, you can expect to see a return on your investment, in the event that you should subsequently decide to sell your property, of between 50% to 100%. This is obviously a very good return, making both options a very popular choice of home improvement project in Toronto and across the country.

Simply put, installing high quality modern window units could lead to a warmer environment in your home next winter. If you want to know how new windows can have such a big effect on the temperature of the air in your home, take a look at the factors discussed below. The Factors That Make Modern Window Replacement Units More Energy Efficient Below, we have listed the properties of modern replacement window units that make them more energy efficient than their predecessors. Superior Insulating Properties – As long as you buy replacement window units with an energy star rating, you can be sure that they have excellent insulating properties and will therefore help to prevent warm air from escaping into the outside during the winter months. Resistance to Humidity – If your home currently has conventional timber-framed windows fitted, these frames will expand and contract as the water content in the Toronto air increases and decreases throughout the course of each year. This expansion and contraction inevitably leads to warping, which can leave gaps in between the frame and the wall in which it is installed, or between the panes of glass in the window and the frame. In either case, warm air will escape through the resulting gaps. Less Radiant Heat... - Published: 2016-06-21 - Modified: 2020-05-26 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/entry-doors-how-to-ensure-yours-are-safe-and-secure/ The doors in your Toronto home are some of the weakest points of your entire property as far as potential intruders are concerned. If you would like to make sure that your home is an unappealing prospect for local burglars, you need to make sure that your doors are as safe and secure as possible. There are a number of ways in which you can achieve this goal, the easiest of which we discuss in the next section. Making Your Entry Doors More Secure Some of these options are more expensive to implement than others but the more costly choices are sometimes the most effective too. What this means to you as a homeowner is that you either have to commit to spending whatever it takes to make your property more secure or you have to come to some kind of compromise between cost and safety. Upgrade Your Locks – If you have old-fashioned wooden doors, you can buy and fit new locks with relative ease. Unless you are not very good at DIY tasks, this is a job that should only take a couple of hours for each exterior door in your property. However, if you do not have the right tools or you simply don’t enjoy tackling DIY jobs around the home, you will need to hire a local professional to do the job for you. In this case, there may be better options as far as return on investment is concerned.

The three most popular forms of exterior finish are: Vinyl brick mold Batten Aluminum capping Any one of these finishing touches will enhance the look of your home. Which one will be right for you will depend on other elements in play on your home’s exterior.

While it is not rocket science, fitting replacement windows correctly is something that only highly skilled and experienced installers are capable of doing properly. A reputable and suitably qualified installation team is the only sensible choice and you should never consider leaving the job to inexperienced rookies. If you decide to ignore this advice, you will almost certainly live to regret your decision. Below, we list a few examples of what could go wrong when entrusting such an important job to a newbie with no knowledge or experience of fitting replacement windows in Toronto. The Perils of Hiring a Rookie Window Replacement Team Working with an unskilled installation team that is new to the game could result in the following problems: Poorly Fitted Windows – The most obvious consequence of hiring a team of rookies is replacement windows that are poorly fitted. Given the cost of having every window in your home replaced it is madness to try to save a small amount of money on the total bill by having the work carried out by amateurs. Poorly fitting windows will let heat out in the winter and in during the summer months, increasing your energy bills. Furthermore, they could seriously compromise the security of your home. Damage to Your Property – Inexperienced window replacement teams are far more likely to damage your property during the removal... - Published: 2016-03-23 - Modified: 2020-05-26 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/entry-doors-heres-why-realtors-will-tell-you-to-replace-yours/ If you are trying to sell your Toronto home and you want to get the best price possible, there are a number of small improvements you can carry out to help ensure that potential buyers form a positive impression of your house. One of the most effective in terms of return on investment is the installation of a new entry door. There are a number of key reasons that realtors encourage sellers to perform this particular home improvement before viewings begin, which we have listed for you in the following section. How New Entry Doors Can Enhance Your Chances of Receiving a Good Offer Find and fit a brand new front door for your property and you will increase the odds of selling your home at a good price. Prospective buyers are attracted to properties with new doors for a number of very good reasons: Biggest Return on Investment – As touched upon above, the ROI for this particular home improvement is extremely attractive; in fact, it is higher than the return for pretty much every other type of home improvement you care to mention. For this reason alone, it is definitely worth considering: homeowners stand to recoup well over 80% of the money they spend on new entry doors and to sell their properties more quickly as a result of installing them.

In fact, the choice can be quite bewildering, which is why we put together this short article. In it, we are going to examine some of the most frequently asked questions from homeowners in the city regarding replacement doors and windows, along with the answers to these questions. By asking these questions of every supplier you contact, you should be able to pick the best company quite easily. Replacement Windows and Doors: The Most Important Questions to Ask Whenever you get in touch with a firm for the first time, ask the following questions and listen carefully to the answers they give. How Long Will the Installation Process Take? – A competent team of installers should be able to replace a single window within a couple of hours. A simple entry door should take around the same time so you can estimate the total by multiplying the windows and doors you wish to have replaced by 2. For an average-sized property, it should be possible to complete all the necessary work within a couple of days. If one of the companies that you contact quotes a considerably longer time, you may want to give them a miss, or at least ask them why it will take so long.

You’ve probably also wondered how these ratings are calculated and who does the calculations. By far the most popular energy rating service in the country - and indeed the world - is Energy Star. In this post we’ll tell you a little about Energy Star, how energy ratings are determined and how to choose the right Energy Star doors and windows. Assigning Energy Ratings to Windows and Doors Windows and doors don’t use energy themselves but they are responsible for much of the heat loss in a typical home. Because of the pivotal role they play in the energy use cycle they’re assigned Energy Star ratings based on their insulation value. But what the heck is Energy Star? Energy Star - Energy Star began as an initiative of the US Consumer Protection Agency in 1992. Since then the system has been refined and adopted by many other countries, including Canada. Today, Energy Star Canada is administered by Natural Resources Canada. Energy Star’s mission is to provide information that helps consumers find the most energy efficient products that fit their needs and budget. Choosing the right Energy Star Doors and Windows Energy Star Canada publishes energy efficiency ratings for a slew of products including appliances large and small, computers and peripherals and building materials such as windows and doors.

However, anything that is both revolutionary and popular is bound to attract those trying to cash in by offering cheap knock-offs and vinyl windows are no exception. In order to ensure you get the highest quality windows for your home you need to know what separates a good vinyl window from a bad one. In this post we’ll give you some tips to do just that. Things to Look for When Shopping for Vinyl Windows All vinyl replacement windows are not the same. One Toronto homeowner may install vinyl replacement windows that help reduce their energy bills by a quarter, while the homeowner across the street installs vinyl replacement windows that do little more than look good for a couple of years before they begin to warp and discolor. So what’s the difference? Vinyl quality and thickness - Vinyl quality is all about the mix, yet it can be nearly impossible to tell the exact mix used to create the PVC a set of vinyl windows are made from. You can still do a rudiment vinyl quality test however, by comparing the thickness of the vinyl in different windows. Thicker is better in almost all cases and though it will cost a bit more than thinner vinyl it will also last significantly longer. Quality of the... - Published: 2016-02-12 - Modified: 2020-05-26 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/never-rush-into-a-window-replacement-heres-why/ Replacing your windows is a big decision. It will affect the quality of life of everyone in the house and significantly impact the value of your home and the amount you pay to keep that home warm. It’s also very likely a decision you’ll only make once because if you choose well your new replacement windows should last a lifetime. Rushing the decision is not a good idea for a number of reasons we’ll outline in this post. Window Replacement is a Process Not an Event While delaying the replacement of your old leaky windows is not a good idea, it’s an equally bad idea to replace them with the first windows you see on sale at the big box. Window replacement is a process and there are many questions you should ask before selecting new windows for your home, including: Are they a good match for my house? - Sure those casement windows in the bargain bin look snazzy but will casement windows look strange on your house? There are many different types of replacement windows available and many design variations within each type. Take the time to consider what the window will look like after it’s installed before purchasing it. Are they really energy efficient? - Many discount replacement windows are cheap because second-rate materials and processes were used in their construction. Look for the Energy Star label and if you don’t see one don’t even consider buying the windows. A lot of replacement windows look good but... - Published: 2016-01-30 - Modified: 2023-12-05 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/7-window-installation-factors-that-will-determine-the-end-cost/ You drove by the big box on Saturday and saw a huge splashy sign that said “Vinyl Replacement Windows - $199 Installed! ” and you’re understandably thinking that sounds like a pretty good deal. In this case however, the old adage “If it seems too good to be true it probably is” should be the first thing that comes to mind because once all the fine print has been invoked you can be 100% certain you’ll pay more than $199 for any type of quality replacement window. Things That Drive up Window Installation Costs So what are the things that drive up the cost of window replacement anyway? While each project is slightly different the 7 most common things that affect the final cost of window installation are: Materials - Is it theoretically possible that a single pane window-only (no casement), that doesn’t open and is made of cheap materials may cost you only $199 to install? Sure. But if you want energy-efficient windows with full casements made by a reputable manufacturer from high-quality materials you’re going to pay more. Labor - Labor costs are going to vary depending on the size, accessibility, and number of windows you’re having installed. The time of year you have the installation done will also affect the final labor cost. Also, a reputable contractor will likely cost you more than a newcomer or someone with scant references but will be worth the extra expense. Glass type - Double-pane will cost more than single-pane windows... - Published: 2016-01-20 - Modified: 2020-05-26 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/windows-and-doors-in-2016-trends-youre-likely-to-see/ Things are looking up for the residential windows and doors market in the coming year. Industry insiders predict growth in demand of some 10% over 2015. This marks in many ways the culmination of the rebound from the dark days of the recent past when difficulties in the housing market caused window and door demand to bottom out. So now that the market has returned to robust health what trends can we expect to see in 2016? Trends to Look for in Windows and Doors for 2016 As we head into the new year let’s take the pulse of the windows and doors industry to find out which features and styles will be trending upward in ‘16. Fiberglass and vinyl increase their market share - Sales of vinyl windows and fiberglass doors are expected to grow at a healthy rate during the coming year as they continue to push other materials into the ‘also ran’ column. Vinyl windows are now the overwhelming choice of Toronto homeowners who are also discovering the many aesthetic and practical advantages of fiberglass doors. Uncommon window choices - Uncommon window styles have begun to make inroads among homeowners lately and will likely find more followers in 2016. This includes increased sales of large sliding and casement windows as well as an uptick in the sale of awning windows. Homeowners have taken to cranking open their windows and have also discovered how these uncommon styles can aid in home ventilation efforts.

It’s the place all eyes should come to rest on the front of your house and it’s also the place where your world begins and the outside world is left behind. If the front door is old and weathered, is a leftover from a previous owner who had questionable taste or is simply leaking warm air like a sieve you’ll want to consider replacing it during the coming year. Entry Doors: The Biggest Small Investment You’ll Ever Make Whether you’re selling your home, renovating it or simply looking to ramp up the curb appeal an entry door is perhaps the most cost-effective investment you can make. Here are 7 reasons why you should consider replacing your entry door in the coming year. ROI - No other alteration you can make to your house will generate a comparable ROI. Not kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovation, a deck addition or anything else. New exterior facing doors return nearly 100% of your investment while providing myriad addition benefits as well. If you’re looking to maximize bang for the buck entry doors are the way to go. Curb appeal - You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Sure, it seems like an overused cliché but it’s absolutely true. Whether visitors or potential buyers, the impression people formulate of your home begins on the walk up to the front door. A shabby entry door will create a negative first impression the... - Published: 2015-12-30 - Modified: 2020-05-26 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/why-window-replacement-is-the-only-option-if-you-have-single-pane-windows/ Old homes have a lot of things going for them. Typically they were built with very high-quality natural materials that are largely unavailable today. They were also built to last with thick plaster walls and hardwood flooring throughout. If you’ve bought or inherited an older home you’ll likely want to preserve many of the quality materials and techniques employed in its construction. One thing you’ll want to ditch as quickly as possible however will be the leaky, drafty, energy black holes known as single-pane windows. Your Old House is Crying Out for Window Replacement Purists will insist that if you have an older home you should make every effort to keep the original windows. If your home is of historic significance there is probably merit to this argument. In most other cases though, unless those purists are willing to pay your energy bills you should look into window replacement asap. Here’s why. Energy efficiency - There are a number of factors that cause a home to bleed energy. Among them poorly insulated walls, an uninsulated attic, a drafty unheated basement and lack of weatherstripping around the entry doors. However, just by replacing your old single-pane windows with multi-pane vinyl replacement windows you can cut your energy consumption by as much as 25%. In a city like Toronto that 25% can be a significant amount of money. Noise reduction - If you live in the city noise can be a major issue. There’s no way around it. But did you know... - Published: 2015-12-20 - Modified: 2020-05-26 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/match-vinyl-windows-with-the-right-glazing-option-and-you-win-big/ Few things influence the comfort level of your home like the windows. If your windows are old, rickety, single-pane jobs with wood frames and rotting casements you can expect to need sweaters inside during the coldest months and to pay up to a third more in energy costs than you actually need to. On the other hand, if the idea of freezing while you throw away money doesn’t appeal to you then it’s time to consider vinyl replacement windows for your home. Choosing the Right Vinyl Windows for Your Home Vinyl window frames are great for saving energy because they don’t conduct heat. Today’s vinyl windows are also composed in a nearly unibody fashion with virtually no chance for heat to escape through leaks in the casing, jams or apron. That leaves one component of the vinyl window for you to concern yourself with: the glass itself or glazing. Types of Glazing You’ll Want to Consider: Insulated glazing - The most basic form of window insulation is the double or triple pane window. The layers of glass are spaced apart and hermetically sealed creating a layer of trapped air that helps prevent heat loss. Gas fills - Inert gases such as krypton and argon naturally resist the flow of heat. For this reason injecting this type of gas into the space between the type of double or triple-pane vinyl windows mentioned above can significantly improve their already impressive U-factor. Low-E glass - With low-E glass an ultra-thin metallic coating is... - Published: 2015-12-10 - Modified: 2020-05-26 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/common-misconceptions-about-new-windows-and-doors/ Strange as it may seem there are dozens of misconceptions floating about related to the topic of buying new windows and doors for the home. Where these misconceptions come from is difficult to say but they’re here and they beg to be addressed. So below we’ll take on a few of the most common myths and misconceptions we’re aware of in the hopes of setting the record straight. Separating Fact From Fiction When it Comes to Windows and Doors It can be difficult to know exactly where to start when discussing such a topic so we’ll just pick a misconception and go from there. Windows first: Misconception: Installing vinyl replacement windows is a DIY project. Reality: While there are plenty of skilled do-it-yourselfers in Toronto window replacement is one project where you need to enlist the help of properly trained professionals. There is too much at stake and very little to be gained by way of energy efficiency if your windows are not properly installed. Misconception: Replacing the windows requires renovating the home. Reality: Replacing your leaky old single pane windows with vinyl replacement windows is renovating your home. In 99% of cases no structural modifications of any kind will need to be done to pave the way for window replacement. This particular misconception may stem from the practice of unscrupulous contractors who will try to convince homeowners otherwise. Misconception: U-Value is the only factor that really matters. Reality: U-value expresses the ability of the window to prevent the transfer... - Published: 2015-11-29 - Modified: 2020-05-26 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/new-window-installation-why-winter-is-in-fact-a-good-time-to-get-one/ Installing replacement windows seems like a warm weather project if ever there was one. But is it? While it may seem counterintuitive, the fact is that having your windows replaced during the winter makes a lot more sense than it might seem to at first. All it requires is that you think outside the box a bit and recognize that there are savings to be had if you do. The Joys of Winter Window Installation Right about now you’re probably thinking that we’ve lost it. But such is not the case because, in fact, there are many good reasons to consider replacing your windows in the wintertime, including: Manufacturer discounts - Because sales for December and January combined typically account for less than 10% of yearly totals and because factories don’t want to lay off workers during the winter, everyone’s in the mood to deal. Installation discounts - What applies to the factories also applies to installation companies. To say the winter is slow for them is an understatement. As such most installation contractors are willing to discuss a lower price for their services just to keep everybody busy. No Waiting - During the warm months you’ll often have to wait in line to have your new windows installed as installation companies are dealing with a backlog. During the winter months though you can pretty much call the shots as far as scheduling goes. Quality Service - Sometimes during the summer months a window installation company can be so backed... - Published: 2015-11-20 - Modified: 2020-05-26 - URL: https://torontodoorsandwindows.ca/window-replacement-how-you-can-inadvertently-bump-up-the-price-of-yours/ Replacing the windows in your house is a big deal with many laudable benefits like increased energy efficiency, better sound insulation, increased curb appeal and increased home value to name just a few. Some homeowners, however, seem to get stuck with enormous bills in the wake of their replacement window installation, often much larger than they were anticipating or budgeted for. So what happened? Avoid These Window Replacement Budget Busters What happened was that, in their enthusiasm to give their Toronto home every aesthetic and practical advantage they allowed themselves to be talked into things they didn’t originally plan on purchasing and which they didn’t really need. Either that or they discovered that rock bottom prices don’t always extend to things like installation. Here are some common mistakes people make that jack up the price of their window replacement efforts. Buying Triple Pane Windows - There is virtually no difference in energy efficiency between double pane and triple pane. The main difference is in the price. Unless you live on the Arctic tundra, double pane windows should do you just fine. Buying Fiberglass When Vinyl Will Do - For most homes in most areas vinyl windows are an affordable, energy efficient replacement window choice. They add immediate and significant curb appeal and cut energy costs substantially. Yet some get talked into purchasing very expensive fiberglass windows whose advantages are often difficult to quantify.

The old saying “You never get a second chance to make a first impression” may as well have been written about the front door. If your door is old or in poor condition, or if it looks like it was picked up in the bargain bin at the big box store and just stuck on the house without regard for whether or not it matched, people’s entire experience of your home will be tainted. That is not something you want happening, particularly if you are hoping to sell your house. The Many Ways Entry Doors Enhance the Value of a Home Of all the renovations you can do to a house, none offers a better ROI than replacing your front door. Here’s a short list of the five most cost effective remodeling projects and their average ROI. Front door replacement: 96. 6 percent Backyard deck: 87. 4 percent Bedroom in the attic: 84. 3 percent Replace the garage door: 83. 7 percent Kitchen remodeling: 82. 7 percent It’s fair to assume that many people would have guessed that a kitchen remodel would return a better percentage of the investment than a front door replacement, but the numbers don’t lie.

Picking one that suits your home to a tee is not always the easiest thing to do but charlesandhudson. com has posted a primer that might help clarify things for you. They start right off with a helpful tidbit that a lot of people probably don’t think about when purchasing new windows or doors: Remember to choose a window or door that will look good from the inside as well as the outside of your home. Believe it or not a lot of people get so fixated on the way windows and doors (windows particularly) look from the street that they forget to consider how they’ll look from the sofa in the living room. So keep that in mind. The primer then goes into some detail about the most popular styles including: awning windows (“hinged from the top, opening outward from the bottom... Awning windows are typically installed over fixed windows or doors,”) bay windows (“... a large center window bordered on either side by double-hung or casement windows set at 30- or 45-degree angles. ”) casement windows (“... casement windows feature a single sash that’s hinged on the left or right and open outward using a crank handle. ”) and more.

Durable, attractive and surprisingly affordable they can be found on homes new and old from coast to coast. But it wasn’t always so as the This Old House website points out in a recent post. They used to be a low-maintenance default when it came time to replace leaky or rotting wood double-hungs. But, over time, white vinyl could yellow, colored vinyl wash out, and the material itself split or crack in extreme temperatures. Times have changed. The vinyl window ... comes in no-fade colors and faux-grain finishes that weather well in any climate. And its sturdy construction and insulated glass meet Energy Star criteria. And speaking of sturdy construction: The best vinyl has additives that protect against brittleness, yellowing, or fading. Sash and frame extrusions should have welded corners and numerous internal air chambers for strength, rigidity, and insulation. This Old House is right to sing the praises of today’s vinyl windows because they really are marvels of modern technology and light years ahead of their progenitors from the 70s and 80s. Today’s vinyl replacement windows provide: Improved Energy Efficiency - Today’s vinyl replacement windows come with thicker frames than their predecessors which helps improve their energy saving abilities and almost completely eliminate air leaks.

That means 30% of the heating oil you buy is wasted on warming up the air outside your home. Good for the birds maybe, not so good for your wallet. In order to bring the situation under control you’ll want to consider replacing your old windows with new, energy efficient windows, but exactly which windows to install in your home is not always clear. Hgtv. com tackles the subject of replacement window installation and looks at the various options open to homeowners intent on bringing their energy bills down to earth. Today, energy-conscious homeowners want to minimize the costs of heating and cooling their homes, and selecting the right windows is a crucial step. So how far should you go when choosing energy-efficient windows? The key is knowing what window upgrades will give you the biggest bang for your buck without delivering a blow to your bottom line. Most people know a wood frame is less prone to heat and cold transfer than an aluminum one, since metals conduct temperature much more easily than wood. But that doesn't mean wood is always the best choice for a utility-bill-friendly window. There are a variety of materials available for window frames, and each has positive and negative aspects. When it comes to materials, window technology has advanced to the point that few will even consider wood framed windows any more.

Some residents won’t see the need, some won’t appreciate the noise and disruption still others will take issue with the type, style and cost of new windows to be installed. An article on the reminetwork. com website suggests some steps owners will want to take before embarking on such a window replacement project. Residential windows have an anticipated service life in the range of 35 to 45 years but may require replacement in half of that time if problems develop. The timeframe is the same for new windows or windows installed 20 years ago, and depends on the quality of the design, fabrication, and installation. A window replacement program can be an expensive endeavour that involves a significant amount of work and disturbance within owners’ units. The author of the piece then goes on to lay out four questions he believes should be asked of a condo board before window replacement commences including: the reason for replacing the windows, what type of windows will be installed, the energy efficiency of the new windows and how long and disruptive the process will be. Certainly transparency is integral to the successful completion of any such project and the article makes several important points.

From new kitchen appliances to repairing the furnace, there are some things that just have to be done, despite the fact that you’d much rather be spending that hard earned money on a vacation to the beach. Window replacement, for example, is one of these things. You know that in order to keep your home energy efficient as well as appealing to the eye, your windows have to be replaced. You also know that it’s going to cost a fair bit of money to do so, which is why so many people try to cut deals when it comes to window installation. Paying cash, or looking for the cheapest contractors around sounds like a great way to save a few bucks, but in the end it could end up costing you more money. Here’s why: Why Price Shouldn’t Be the Only Factor in Choosing Window Installation Contractors 1. Licensing Most of the time, when you find a contractor that is able to charge you far less than everyone else, it’s because they don’t have the proper licensing (and thus don’t have to pay monthly or yearly licensing fees). Knowing that your contractors are fully licensed, means knowing that they have at least the necessary level of competence to complete the job. As well, licensing means that you can legally dispute any discrepancies regarding contract or quality of work. 2. Insurance Low-end (cheap) contractors don’t always have adequate insurance.

It can make or break a first impression, and it’s something that can make you feel good about walking into your home – or feel bad if the doors aren’t in good condition. But entry doors aren’t restricted to just the front door. Entry doors include all doors that connect the outdoors to inside, including garage doors, side doors and patio doors. All of these doors are important to keep your house safe and secure, keeping certain things inside and other things out. Unfortunately, entry doors are often taken for granted – not often thought about even by the homeowners – and if they do get forgotten about, they will begin to age and wear down.

If you’re not sure, check out the following list of signs that indicate they probably do need replacing. 5 Tell-Tale Signs Your Entry Doors Should be Replaced 1. Drafts As a door ages, the seals surrounding it can shrink and/or crack, leaving gaps from which the outside air can get in, and the air in the home can get out.

Of all the materials, vinyl windows are the most commonly installed in newer homes, while fiberglass windows are still relatively new on the market. Before we break down each material’s good and bad qualities, let’s take a look at the materials in an easy-to-understand overview: Wood Vinyl Fiberglass Aluminum No cracking ? ? ? No peeling ? ? ? No bending or warping ? ? ? Large variety of shapes and designs ? ? ? No sticking caused by expansion or contraction ? ? High energy efficiency ? ? ? As you can see, vinyl and fiberglass have many great qualities that wood and aluminum are lacking.

In Canada, and other places where temperatures change drastically throughout the year, this can have varied effects on the different materials as follows: Wood windows expand and contract quite quickly in humid, hot or cold weather. After only a couple of years, the wood can permanently warp, leaving you with windows that are difficult to open and close, and you may find small (or large) gaps between the window and the frame.

But that’s still a huge temperature difference from season to season. And as if having to spend bundles of money to dress yourself for these varied temperatures wasn’t enough, the drastic temperature difference can ruin your doors and windows, costing you extensive amounts of money in repairs. How Extreme Climate Changes Affect Door and Window Installation As the temperature rises and falls, materials contract and expand, causing: Permanent Warping. If the materials expand and contract too much, they lose their shape, and become permanently warped – leading to gaps between the door/window and its frame, causing drafts and in turn higher energy bills. Broken Seals. Even the best window sealings will crack with too much movement between the frames and doors/windows, letting air in and out. Paint Chipping. If you’ve got paint on your windows or doors, extreme humidity as well as being exposed to the elements will cause the paint to chip away. Direct sunlight will cause colours to fade. These factors can cause your exterior doors and windows to look old beyond their years, as well as cause major damage, unless you fit your home with high quality all weather windows and doors made specifically for climates such as ours. All weather windows and doors use unique technologies to create energy efficient, long-lasting, low-maintenance doors and windows.

Doors made of fiberglass do not warp, bend or twist – making them an excellent choice in climates such as Canada. As well, you do not have to worry about rot or rust, and these doors do not dent or scratch easily. Overall, they are very low maintenance. Efficiency: A quality door made of fiberglass can offer up to five times more insulation than a wood door, and surpasses the level of insulation on steel exterior doors as well.
