Our experience with Canadian Choice Windows was excellent. Our Sales Manager Rick was friendly and upbeat without a hint of pressure. He knew the various products and services inside out and was very responsive to our needs and concerns. He guided us to a clear and successful choice of windows and gave a distinct and well defined idea of the time line involved and how the installation would go.

The installation by Russ and Eugene went very well. We were actually given a choice to have the windows sooner than expected. Eugene and Russ completed the installation, 8 windows in all, in half a day. Their work was first-rate. And they cleaned up the debris inside and out thoroughly.

As for the windows we are very happy with them. We have an older home and were concerned how they might fit in. They worked perfectly – very crisp with clean lines they just open up every room.

During the summer I had 3 of my main windows replaced on my home. Alex was very friendly and knowledgeable. He assisted me with picking a great product. The windows look great. They also made a big difference in the temperature control of my house. The Installers were very professional. They worked clean. They were careful with my flowerbed. They left my house clean as it was. They were knowledgeable and friendly and took the time to ensure I knew how to use the windows, all the benefits of the product, and answered all of my questions. I am very pleased. I look forward to having more of my windows replaced by this company.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are architectural windows?

Architectural windows are fixed, custom-shaped windows designed for style and natural light. They are typically non-opening and used to create a visual focal point, highlight architectural features, or bring more daylight into a space.

Do architectural windows open?

No, most architectural windows do not open.
They are non-operable by design, which allows for better insulation, cleaner aesthetics, and uninterrupted views.

Are architectural windows energy efficient?

Yes, architectural windows are usually more energy efficient than operable windows. Because they are sealed units, they reduce air leakage and often include double or triple glazing, Low-E coatings, and insulated frames.

Where are architectural windows used?

Architectural windows are commonly used in living rooms, staircases, entryways, and above doors or standard windows.
They are placed where natural light and design impact are more important than ventilation.
