Different homeowners replace their windows for different reasons. But regardless of what window material you go for, or what company, there are still certain things you have to expect from your new windows, in order for your replacement to be worth the investment. In today’s post we decided to outline what you should expect to receive for your money, and offer some examples of how Ecoline windows addresses these replacement window needs.
Why Replace Windows?
As a home reaches 15+ years of age, many homeowners begin to see problems with their aging windows and doors. Drafts, air or water leakage, and difficulty in operation are common issues. Covering drafty windows with plastic wrap, or re-sealing and re-painting them does not solve the problem in the long run. New vinyl windows require little maintenance, improve the look and feel of your home, and can save you money on energy bills.
Energy Efficiency
All our new windows and doors are ENERGY STAR© qualified and are designed specifically for the harsh prairie climate. Our triple pane sealed-units come standard with LoE coating, Argon gas fill, and EnerEDGE IG Spacer seal. These components significantly reduce heat loss – helping you save money on energy bills.
No Maintenance Required
A 100% vinyl frame does not deteriorate over time and won’t need to be repainted or repaired. High-performance stainless steel hardware makes it easy operate your windows.
Window Screens
Screens are designed specifically to keep insects and debris out. All our operational windows come with a screen with an aluminum rust-resistant frame. We use heavy gauge fiberglass mesh, as it’s less likely to tear. Our pinless operating system (standard on casement and awning windows) makes it easy to put on and take off the screen.
Professional Installation
Installation is crucial to the performance and longevity of your new windows. Even the best quality product won’t work as well if it is not installed correctly. We specialize in replacement windows for the residential market. Each window is custom made to accommodate the existing opening in your walls. Full frame replacement and expanding foam insulation ensure maximum protection from cold air entering your home. Our installers follow Canadian Standards Association (CSA) window replacement requirements and national building code, to ensure best performance for your newly installed windows.

Each replacement window comes with a 25-year warranty. Our qualified service technicians can address any questions or concerns you may have about your new windows.
