Creating a comfortable environment in Edmonton‘s climate requires accurate heat loss calculations and proper selection of translucent designs. Canglow window installers use technology to keep your home at a comfortable temperature when the temperature fluctuates from -40°C to +30°C. Replacing windows and installing modern door systems reduces heat loss by one-third, as proven by research from the National Research Council of Canada.
Heat saving technologies
Exterior doors and windows of the new generation work on the principle of multi-stage protection against cold. When replacing entrance groups, a thermal break system is used to prevent the structure from freezing even in extreme frosts. Garden doors are equipped with a triple sealing contour, which blocks the penetration of cold air and preserves heat inside the room.

Innovations in glazing
Vinyl doors and modern window systems with energy-saving coating retain up to 99% of ultraviolet radiation. Patio doors are equipped with argon-filled double-glazed windows, which protect from overheating in summer and retain heat in winter. This design allows you to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature all year round.
The main characteristics of all-season designs:
- Heat transfer resistance 40% higher than standard values.
- Protection against freezing at temperatures down to -45°C.
- Reduction of heating costs up to 800 dollars per year.
- Guaranteed operation of mechanisms in all weather conditions.
- Service life of more than 35 years without loss of properties.
Features of installation in the Edmonton climate
Window installation requires consideration of the wind rose and prevailing precipitation direction. Professional installation includes the creation of a temperature barrier around the perimeter of the structure. Joints are sealed with compounds that retain elasticity in a wide range of temperatures.
Adaptation to seasonal changes
Replacing windows allows you to regulate the microclimate depending on the season. In summer, a special coating of glass reflects excess heat, and in winter keeps it inside the room. Fiberglass doors are not subject to temperature deformation and retain their geometry under any weather conditions.
Economic feasibility
Investing in quality glazing pays for itself in reduced heating and air conditioning costs. With the average cost of heating a home in Edmonton, installing modern windows and doors can save up to a third of energy costs.
Practical aspects of operation
Modern window and door systems require minimal maintenance. The hardware operates smoothly at temperatures from -45°C to +40°C. Special seal materials retain their elasticity throughout the entire service life of the constructions.
Reliability guarantees
Canglow ensures that all materials meet strict Canadian standards. Each design is quality controlled and tested for climate resistance. Warranty service includes regular diagnostics and adjustment of mechanisms.
A comprehensive approach to creating comfort
Window installation and door replacement is made taking into account the peculiarities of each room. The company’s specialists analyze the operating conditions and select the best solutions for a particular project. This ensures maximum efficiency of investments in the renovation of the house.
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.
