Maintaining a water temperature of +28°C with an outside air temperature of -40°C places extreme stress on the building envelope. Doors in such conditions must have exceptional thermal insulation performance, preventing condensation and ice formation. In Yellowknife, this task is made more difficult by the long period of sub-zero temperatures.
Engineering solutions for extreme conditions
Vinyl doors with composite reinforcement ensure reliable operation in the event of sudden temperature fluctuations. Special sealing contours with shape memory maintain tightness even in case of deformation of the structure. Exterior doors are equipped with a forced perimeter heating system.

Integration with security systems
Automation controls access to the pool area, preventing unauthorized entry. Garden doors are equipped with presence detectors and an automatic locking system. If there is no movement for more than 30 minutes, the doors are forcibly closed.
Smart monitoring technologies
Built-in sensors monitor temperature, humidity and air quality. If the parameters deviate from the set values, the system automatically adjusts the ventilation mode. Intelligent algorithms prevent the formation of condensation on the surface of structures.
Priority points of protection:
- Automatic blocking of access in the absence of adults.
- Climate control with forced ventilation function.
- Multi-stage frost protection system.
- Remote monitoring of the condition of structures.
- Emergency notification in case of violation of the operation mode.
Professional installation as a guarantee of reliability
Creation of an efficient thermal circuit in the Far North requires the use of new installation technologies. The perimeter is sealed with polyurethane compounds with temperature resistance from -60°C to +80°C and guaranteed adhesion to any building materials. The external circuit is protected by a vapor permeable membrane with a water vapor diffusion resistance of more than 2000 µ.
The installation includes the integration of an electric perimeter heating system with a capacity of 30 W/m. The heating cable is installed in specially prepared grooves along the entire perimeter of the structure. Temperature and humidity sensors are placed at critical points: at the threshold, in the vestibule area and in the upper abutment area. The automation system analyzes the data with a polling frequency of once per minute and activates heating when the dew point is reached.
Special attention is paid to the drainage system in the threshold area. A special profile with a thermal insert ensures condensate drainage and prevents freezing. The installation is completed by installing thermal insulating inserts in the profile cavities and calibrating the control automatics.
Long-term operation
Regular diagnostics ensures stable operation of all systems. Preventive maintenance prevents wear and tear of mechanical components. Timely replacement of consumables extends the service life of the structures.
Compliance with safety standards
The constructions are certified according to Canadian regulations for rooms with high humidity. Materials meet fire safety and environmental standards. Documentation includes strength and thermal performance calculations.
Cost reduction
State-of-the-art technology reduces climate control costs. Automated control minimizes energy losses. Quality materials ensure a long service life without loss of properties.

FAQs
The time depends on the scope of work and the complexity of the project. On average, window replacement in a typical apartment can take 1-2 days. For a private house, the process may take 3-5 days. However, large or complex projects may require more time. It is better to discuss exact terms with our managers.
Yes, it can be done at any time of the year, including winter. Modern technology and materials allow work to be carried out even at low temperatures. However, winter installation requires additional precautions and may take a little longer. The advantage of winter replacement is the ability to immediately assess the quality of the thermal insulation of the new windows.
The main signs that it’s time to upgrade your windows:
- Drafts and heat loss.
- Condensation between the panes.
- Difficulty opening and closing.
- Visible damage to frames or glass.
- Increased noise from the street.
- Significant increase in heating bills.
Yes, quality replacement windows can increase property values. New energy efficient windows make a home more attractive to potential buyers because they promise savings on utility bills and increased comfort. By some estimates, replacing windows can increase property values by 5-10%.
Usually the windows themselves (profile and double-glazed units) are guaranteed for 3 to 5 years. The installation work is usually guaranteed for 1 to 3 years.
