Frequently Asked Questions

Can old wooden windows be restored instead of replaced?

Often yes. When the original wood frames remain serviceable, the glazing and seals can be restored without replacing the complete window assembly.

What was restored on this Cabbagetown window project?

We replaced the glass throughout the affected wooden windows and completed full re-sealing while preserving the original wood frames.

What is wood window reglazing?

Reglazing involves replacing or resetting the glass and restoring the glazing seal within an existing window frame. It can be appropriate when the surrounding wood frame remains serviceable.
