Thermos replacement in Blainville

Blainville has grown steadily over several decades, with large neighbourhoods of cottages and two-storey houses and, more recently, townhouses and condos near transit routes. A typical cottage has casement windows upstairs, a large window on the front and almost always a patio door leading out to the backyard. The original thermos units put in at construction are often the ones failing now, leaving haze between the panes.

A patio door facing south or west goes through big temperature swings between day and night, which wears down the sealant. You'll first notice fog that comes and goes with the sun, then a permanent haze. Our fix is a new unit in tempered glass, with Low-E to help with summer overheating. For upstairs bedrooms, double glazing with argon is usually enough to bring comfort back.

Many homes have a private driveway and a yard reachable from the side, which makes delivering large units simple. In row townhouses, getting to the yard sometimes means going through the house, so plan a clear path to the patio door. In condos near the Blainville train station, let your syndicate or building management know before installation day and book the elevator if needed.
