Triple Pane Windows

Glass panes are the most vulnerable point for energy loss through heat transfer in your home. In Canadian climates, double pane windows are the baseline for proper insulation. In regions with prolonged harsh winters, triple pane windows offer an added layer of thermal protection.

I replaced five windows/patio doors last year from Canadian Choice Windows and Doors. Stan came to my place multiple times and offered answers to lots of questions we had, and Yuri came to install windows last September. I received quotes from at least 5-6 companies and Canadian Choice was the 2nd lowest in terms of price. The quality of the windows may not be the top but it was very good. I waited until spring to write a review after winter season. No problem whatsoever. I will definitely order rest of windows in my house from them and strongly recommend Canadian Choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tilt and Turn Windows

Are tilt and turn windows a good idea?

Tilt and turn windows can be a great idea depending on your needs and preferences as a homeowner. These types of windows offer many advantages, such as versatility in how you open and close them, as well as excellent ventilation and security features. They are also popular in many European countries and thus are often referred to as European windows.

What is the difference between double hung and tilt and turn windows?

Double-hung windows have two movable sashes that slide up and down, while tilt and turn windows have one or two sashes that can tilt inwards or swing open like a door. Tilt and turn windows are often more energy-efficient and easier to clean, however, they are also generally more expensive than double-hung windows.

Why do German windows open inwards?

Generally, German windows tend to open inwards for several reasons - inward-opening windows are easier to clean and maintain, offer better ventilation control within your home, and provide enhanced security features. Additionally, many German buildings have exterior shutters that can be closed for additional protection.

Can you put roller blinds on tilt and turn windows?

Yes, roller blinds can be installed on tilt and turn windows. However, it’s important to make sure you choose the right type of blinds and installation method for your windows in order to ensure they are compatible with your window’s functionality.

How do I keep tilt and turn windows open?

Tilt and turn windows typically have a handle that allows you to adjust the window’s position. In order to keep the window open, turn the handle to your desired position and release it - the window should stay in place until you next move it.

What is the maximum size of tilt and turn windows?

The maximum size of a tilt and turn window usually depends on a number of factors, including the manufacturer’s specifications, the window’s design, and your installation method. However, tilt and turn windows can typically be made in larger sizes on average than double-hung windows.

How do you clean tilt and turn windows?

To clean tilt and turn windows, open the window fully to access both sides of the glass and use a gentle cleaning solution with a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the window frames and glass panes. Next, rinse the window with clean water, and dry it with a lint-free cloth. Be careful not to damage any of the window’s mechanisms during the cleaning process.
