What factors influence the cost of replacing windows?

Window replacement costs are affected by window size, frame material, glazing type, energy-efficiency features, installation complexity, labour rates, and whether structural modifications are needed.

Do energy-efficient windows cost more?

Energy-efficient windows generally cost more upfront due to features such as Low-E coatings, insulated frames, and multi-pane glass. They may reduce heating and cooling expenses over time.

What is the difference between retrofit and full-frame window replacement?

Retrofit installations use the existing frame and are usually less expensive, while full-frame replacements involve removing the old frame, casing, and trim. Full-frame installation is recommended when the existing frame is damaged or inefficient.

Do I need a permit for window replacement in Canada?

Most like-for-like window replacements do not require a permit. A permit may be necessary if the project involves enlarging the opening, altering the structure, or changing egress requirements. Local rules vary by municipality.

Other Factors Influencing Window
Installation Costs

A breakdown of expenses associated with window replacement, from essential factors beyond your control, such as installation method, to optional features like decorative options, which you can omit to save money.

Installation Method

Full frame replacement (Brick-to-brick)

Brick-to-brick installation entails the complete removal of old windows and frames, including surrounding brickwork, followed by the installation of new windows in freshly created openings. This method offers greater flexibility in window size and placement, allowing for customized designs to suit specific preferences. However, the process is more labor-intensive and time-consuming, as it involves additional construction work to accommodate the new openings.

Retrofit

Retrofit installation involves fitting new windows into the existing window frames without altering the surrounding structure. This method is characterized by its simplicity and efficiency, as it avoids the need for extensive structural modifications. Since it utilizes the existing framework, retrofit installation is generally easier and quicker to complete compared to brick-to-brick installation. Moreover, it often proves to be more cost-effective due to reduced labor and material requirements.

Glass options

Tempered glass

Tempered glass undergoes a specialized heating and rapid cooling process to increase its strength. It breaks into small, relatively harmless pieces upon impact, enhancing safety. Commonly used in applications prioritizing safety, such as shower doors and automotive windows.

Laminated glass

Laminated glass consists of layers bonded with a protective interlayer. It enhances impact resistance and prevents shattering, reducing injury risk. Used in windows, doors, and skylights for improved security and safety.

Design & Finish Options

Privacy glass

Privacy glass options provide homeowners with the ability to control visibility while still allowing natural light to enter. From frosted to textured patterns, they offer privacy and ideal for bathrooms, bedrooms, or any space requiring seclusion.

Colors

Window color options offer versatility in design, allowing homeowners to match or complement their building’s exterior aesthetic. Whether opting for classic neutrals or bold hues, these options provide customization to enhance curb appeal.

Interior Grills

Decorative grills or grids add visual interest to windows, providing architectural detail and character. Available in various styles, such as colonial, prairie, or custom designs, they offer a decorative touch while maintaining functionality.

Rosettes options

Rosettes serve as decorative accents that add a touch of elegance to window frames. Available in different shapes and sizes, they enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of your windows, contributing to the beauty of your home’s interior and exterior.

Grills

Grills, also known as window grids, divide the window glass into smaller panes, adding visual interest and charm to your windows. Whether opting for traditional pencil grills, Georgian-style, or custom designs, grills offer versatility in enhancing your windows’ appearance.

Brickmould options

The trim around the exterior of a window frame, providing a finished look and sealing against moisture and drafts. With various profiles and finishes available, the right brickmould enhances the overall appearance and complements your home’s architectural style.

Cost-Saving Tips for Your
Window Replacement Project

Smart homeowners can significantly save money on their home improvement project while still achieving high quality windows. Here are proven strategies to reduce your cost of window replacement.

Bundle Multiple Windows Together

Instead of replacing a single window at a time, plan complete installations. Our windows company offers better price of windows when ordering multiple units, reducing per-unit costs and minimizing disruption.

Choose Standard Over Custom

Standard windows cost significantly less than custom sizes. Work with consultants to determine if standard dimensions fit your existing window frame openings, avoiding costly repairs and modifications.

Consider Retrofit Installation

When your existing frame remains sound, retrofit installation costs less than full replacement. This preserves interior trim and exterior brick moulds, reducing labor while delivering new windows performance.

Focus on Essential Energy Features

Prioritize cost-effective upgrades like low e coatings over premium extra features. These deliver excellent ROI through reduced energy bills without dramatically increasing average cost for window replacement.

Avoid Unnecessary Customizations

Custom colours and built in blinds add significant costs to standard windows. Consider if these custom features truly enhance value or if standard options meet your needs.

Select Appropriate Window Types

Fixed windows cost less than operating units for areas not requiring fresh air. Slider windows offer good value for larger openings, while awning windows work well for small bathroom window applications.

Plan Phased Installations

If budget limits project scope, replace windows in priority rooms first. Complete remaining installations when finances allow, spreading the window change cost over time.

Avoid Emergency Replacements

Planning ahead prevents emergency costly repairs. Regular maintenance of window sash mechanisms helps identify issues before requiring immediate attention, allowing better pricing negotiations for your affordable window replacement.

Leverage Government Incentives

Use the Canada Greener Homes Loan up to $40,000 for eligible installations. Our ENERGY STAR™ certified products qualify for $100 rebates per window opening.
