Why a tune-up-first strategy fits Richmond Hill
- Performance without demolition: If frames are sound, a new IGU delivers the efficiency people expect from full replacements—without tear-outs or repainting.
- Keep your sightlines: Glass-only retains your original viewing area (no bulky inserts that shrink the glass).
- Local comfort tuning: LoĒ + argon packages are matched to room orientation for four-season comfort.
- Cleaner, faster installs: Measure → fabricate → install with minimal disruption to daily life.

What Richmond Hill homeowners ask us to fix
- Mist between panes: Moisture inside the IGU signals a failed perimeter seal. A new sealed unit restores clarity and insulation.
- Impact or stress cracks: Compromised glass weakens security and thermal performance. We replace the lite with a modern, efficient spec.
- Cold rooms / hot sunrooms: A tailored IGU (right LoĒ stack + argon) steadies room temperatures across the seasons.
- Jammed or leaky hardware: Many issues are fixable with cleaning, alignment, and lubrication—no full window needed.
Noise & humidity: the hidden comfort killers
Street noise on Yonge/Bayview or near major corridors? Ask about thicker glass make-ups or laminated options that reduce sound transfer.
Condensation or winter frost? Proper LoĒ selection and warm-edge spacers raise interior glass temperature, helping reduce moisture buildup (alongside healthy indoor humidity levels).
Room-by-room glass chooser (quick guide)
- LoĒ-180: Bright, neutral look; great for colder exposures and rooms that need more winter warmth.
- LoĒ-272: Balanced four-season comfort; an easy whole-home choice.
- LoĒ-366: Strong sun/UV control for south- and west-facing rooms, sunrooms, or spaces with big glass.
- i89 (interior add-on): Raises interior glass temperature for a cozier winter feel; often paired with 180 or 366.

Glass-only vs. other approaches
- Glass-Only (Best value): Replace the failed IGU; retain frames, trim, and full glass area. Quickest, cleanest path to comfort.

FAQs for Richmond Hill homeowners
Will glass-only fix fog between panes?
Yes—fog indicates a failed seal. A new IGU restores clarity and insulation.
Do I lose viewing area?
No with glass-only. Inserts (retrofits) can reduce visible glass slightly due to added frame thickness.
Can you help with drafts around the frame?
Yes. If our scan shows perimeter leakage, we can add insulation and refresh weatherstrip as an optional upgrade.
