Thermos replacement in Varennes

Varennes stretches along the St. Lawrence. Old Varennes, around Sainte-Anne Basilica, keeps older homes, some built in stone, while the neighbourhoods farther inland are made up of bungalows, cottages and semi-detached houses. On the river side, many homeowners chose big windows and patio doors to enjoy the view, which means a lot of exposed glass. Many of these openings are larger than the standard sizes found in town.

Walls facing the river take the wind, sideways rain and sharp temperature swings. Those repeated cycles wear out sealed units, especially on large panes. We recommend tempered glass for patio doors and large picture windows, with Low-E and argon; for the most exposed rooms, triple glazing makes a real difference in comfort near the window. On sheltered walls, standard double glazing usually holds up fine.

Whether you're along Route 132, in Old Varennes or in a neighbourhood near Highway 30, we usually come in through your private driveway. For an older home with irregular window sizes, measuring takes a few extra minutes. Tip: note which windows fog up after a windy spell; it helps us pinpoint the units that have failed. A quick list or a few photos is plenty.
