Good questions
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the things homeowners ask us most.
Why is there condensation on the inside of my windows?
Condensation forms when warm, moist air inside your home touches cold glass. It’s a humidity issue, not a window problem. New windows seal much tighter than old ones, so moisture from cooking, showers and drying laundry stays inside instead of leaking out.
To cut it down:
- Run bathroom and kitchen fans (or your HRV) a little longer
- Keep indoor humidity around 30–40% in winter
- Open blinds and curtains so warm air reaches the glass
- Keep heat registers under windows clear
I see condensation on the outside of my new windows. Is that bad?
No, it’s actually a good sign. Energy-efficient glass keeps your heat inside, so the outer pane stays cool. On cool, humid mornings dew forms on it, just like on your car or lawn, and it clears up as the day warms.
What if there’s fog between the panes of glass?
Moisture between the panes means the glass seal has failed. It can’t be wiped off, but the glass can usually be replaced without changing the whole window. Contact us and we’ll check whether it’s covered under your warranty.
What’s the most common window style?
Single hung windows are the most common choice in Nova Scotia homes. The bottom sash slides up, the top stays fixed, and they suit almost any style of house at a great price. Sliders are a close second for wide openings like basements and bedrooms.
Which windows are easiest to clean?
Tilt & turn windows are the easiest: the sash swings fully into the room, so you can clean both sides of the glass from inside.
Our single hungs and sliders are a close second. Their tilt latches let the sash tilt fully inward, so you can wash the outside glass without going outside or climbing a ladder. Casements also open wide enough to reach the outside glass.
Which windows let in the most fresh air?
Casements and tilt & turns open the whole sash, so you get the full opening for airflow. Single hungs and sliders open about half the window. Awnings can stay open in light rain.
Can you install windows in the winter?
Yes. We install all year round. We work one opening at a time, so each window is only open for a short while and your home stays warm.
How long does an install take?
It depends on how many windows and doors you’re replacing. Smaller jobs are often done in a day, and your estimator will give you a timeline for your home with your free estimate.
What does your warranty cover?
Our residential windows and doors come with a lifetime product warranty, plus a workmanship warranty on our installation. See full warranty coverage.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. You can spread out the cost with a payment plan through Financeit. Apply online in a few minutes.
