Upgrade Your Beamsville Property with New Windows
Approximately 30% of your home’s heated and cooled air could be lost through poorly sealed or old windows and front doors. If your windows are drafty, cracked, or outdated, that number could be even higher. This can drive up your energy bills and make your home’s interior uncomfortable year-round.

Choosing the Right Windows for Your Beamsville Home
If you plan to renovate your home or you have noticed that your current windows are failing, you should choose the right replacement windows. Your choice should be based on both aesthetics and other factors such as energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term value.
Not all windows are designed the same. Some are built to boost a home’s curb appeal, while others are engineered for lasting performance. You may come across terms like energy-saving or energy-efficient windows. These aren’t just buzzwords. At Niagara Roofmasters Inc., we recommend and install windows designed to reduce heat loss and improve your indoor comfort.
What Makes Windows Energy-Efficient
Modern energy-efficient windows combine multiple features that work together to reduce heat transfer and air leakage. These features include:
Multiple Pane Glass
Double-pane or triple-pane windows are built using two or three layers of glass with sealed spacers between them. These sealed pockets are filled with insulating gas, which reduces heat and cold air transfer. The result is a clear window with an unobstructed view and a strong thermal barrier that helps keep your indoor temperature stable.
High-Quality Materials for Frames
When we install or replace windows, we also upgrade the frames to ensure a tight fit. This prevents drafts and air leakage. Materials like vinyl provide excellent insulation, while fibreglass and composite frames offer additional strength. Pairing wood frames (on the inside) with vinyl (on the outside) gives you a warm look inside and a lasting thermal barrier.
Low-E Glass Coatings
Low-E (Low-emissivity) coatings add another layer of insulation to your windows. These invisible coatings often reflect heat back into your house during winter and block solar heat (from outside) in summer. No matter the season, Low-E glass helps maintain indoor comfort and reduces strain on your heating or cooling system.
Window Spacers
Spacers are placed between the glass layers in double-pane or triple-pane windows. They maintain even spacing and prevent the glass from touching or shifting. High-performance spacers are often made from non-metallic or multi-layered materials with better insulation properties than metal. This design improves thermal efficiency while ensuring your windows are clear (for unobstructed view).
Window Gas Fillers
The sealed space between glass panes should be filled with inert gases like argon or krypton. These gases are clear, odourless, and non-toxic. They slow the movement of heat through the glass. This adds another layer of insulation to your window.
At Niagara Roofmasters Inc., we help homeowners and property owners compare different windows, identify all necessary features, and choose the right windows for their buildings. Indeed, we’ll provide the professional guidance you need to make an informed decision that fits both your needs and window replacement budget.
Popular Window Styles We Install
Here are the types of windows we recommend for homes and commercial properties in Beamsville and across the Niagara region.
Bay and Bow Windows
These windows often extend outward from the home’s exterior. This design adds visual interest and interior space. Bay windows have three angled panels that create a distinct geometric projection. On the other hand, bow windows are made of four or more panels that form a gentle curve. These window types are popular for creating cozy alcoves that let natural light into your home and offer expansive views.
However, their size and design make the installation process complex. Also, they may require additional structural support to accommodate the weight and projection. Let our experienced team help replace these bay and bow windows in your home.
Casement and Awning Windows
Casement windows usually open outward on side hinges. Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward. These windows are ideal for allowing airflow into your home while keeping rain out. Both window styles are easy to operate using a crank mechanism and provide strong insulation when shut.
Note that their outward movement can be obstructed by nearby trees or shrubs. Over time, the crank hardware may require maintenance or replacement (if damaged).
Large Picture Windows
Picture windows are fixed in place and don’t open. They’re a practical choice for homeowners who want to maximize natural light and highlight scenic outdoor views. Because they have no moving parts, picture windows are more energy-efficient than window styles that open and close.
The unique design of picture windows allows for custom sizing in living rooms or commercial lobbies. These windows brighten up interiors beautifully. However, they don’t offer ventilation, and on multi-storey buildings, cleaning the glass from the outside can be more challenging.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows move horizontally along a track. They’re an excellent option for wide openings and modern-style properties. Slider windows are easy to use and require minimal effort to open or close, making them popular for spaces where vertical movement is limited.
Keep in mind that these windows can accumulate dirt and debris in the lower track over time. This may necessitate regular cleaning. Additionally, due to their design, sliding windows may offer slightly less insulation than other sealed window styles.
Should You Repair or Replace Windows?
Deciding whether to repair or replace your windows is more than just a financial decision. It directly affects your property’s indoor comfort, energy use, curb appeal, and long-term value. Sure, timely repairs can extend the lifespan of your existing windows, but there are times when replacement is the most practical solution. The key is knowing when repairs are recommended and when replacement is necessary.
Common Window Issues that can be Repaired
Not every window problem necessitates a full replacement. Some issues can be resolved quickly with professional repair work to restore the window’s function. Here are the common issues that we can fix and extend your window’s lifespan.
- Stuck or difficult-to-move sashes
- Small patches of wood rot
- Minor air leaks around the edges
- Condensation between double-paned glasses
When Replacement is a Better Option
In some cases, replacing the entire window system may be a cost-effective investment. This is particularly true when ongoing issues begin to affect your energy bills or property structure. Here’s when to replace your window.
- Frames with widespread rot or warping that is beyond the point of reliable repair
- Cracked, fogged, or broken glass that has compromised safety and efficiency
- Homes with persistent drafts, moisture issues, or high utility costs due to window inefficiency
What’s the Cost of Window Replacement in Beamsville?
Window replacement costs aren’t one-size-fits-all. The total price depends on several factors that are unique to your home or commercial building. The type of window you choose, such as casement, bay, bow, picture, or awning, plays a big role in determining the cost of your project. Here’s a detailed cost breakdown depending on window styles.
| Windows Style |
Estimated Cost |
| Casement windows |
$500 to $1,500 |
| Bay and bow windows |
$3,000 to $7,000 |
| Awning windows |
$500 to $1,500 |
| Slider windows |
$500 to $1,000 |
Whole-Home Window Replacement Costs
Replacing all the windows in your home is a major investment that can make a significant difference in curb appeal, indoor comfort, and energy savings. The total cost of your project will depend on the number of windows, their dimensions, and the complexity of the installation. Larger or custom-shaped windows will cost more to update than standard ones.
| Property Size |
Number of Windows |
Estimated Replacement Cost |
| Small 2-bedroom house |
15 to 20 |
$12,000 to $18,000 |
| Medium-sized 3-bedroom house |
20 to 25 |
$15,000 to $22,000 |
| Large 2-story house |
30 to 40 |
$25,000 to $35,000 |
| Luxury estate or properties |
40 to 60 |
$35,000 to $50,000 |
Other Factors That Influence Cost
Glazing
The glass used in your windows is a key determinant of energy performance and the cost of replacing the windows. Double-pane units with Low-E coatings provide efficient insulation, while triple-pane models offer even greater efficiency. Specialty glass types, like tempered or tinted options, increase the replacement price but can offer added safety or solar control benefits.
Frame Material
Window frames come in several materials, each with different costs and benefits. Vinyl is a popular and budget-friendly option that offers higher thermal performance. Wood frames, on the other hand, add natural warmth and style but require more maintenance over time.
Fiberglass is highly durable and energy-efficient. However, these window frames come at a higher upfront cost. Aluminum frames are lightweight and low-maintenance but less insulating compared to other materials.
Window Installation Method
The way your windows are installed will also affect the final cost. A full-frame installation involves removing the entire old window and frame, followed by the installation of a new frame and window. This method tends to cost more than a retrofit where new windows are installed into the existing frame. If you’re also replacing trim or updating the exterior finish, those extra services will be factored into the total cost of your project.
