Thermos replacement in Westmount

Westmount is known for its stone and brick houses, the row houses of lower Westmount and the large homes set into the mountainside in upper Westmount. Windows tend to be tall, sash or casement, sometimes divided by muntins. Many owners are keen to keep their original wood frames and trim. Those frames are often still in good shape, even when the sealed units inside have long since fogged over, which makes glass-only replacement a natural fit.

The City keeps a close eye on the exterior look of buildings. Replacing just the sealed unit in the existing frame clears up the fog without changing the window's proportions; if you're unsure about a particular facade, check with the City before the work. For rooms shaded by mature trees, Low-E argon glazing cuts down the chill near the glass.

In upper Westmount, steep streets, front steps and terraced lots take some planning, so tell us the most direct route to the windows. In lower Westmount, near Victoria or Greene Avenue, street parking is regulated. If you have windows with muntins, point them out during the assessment so we can work out the best approach. A little planning keeps the visit short.
