Window Replacement Alta Vista
With 15+ years installing new windows and doors in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, we’ve worked with many families on their homes in Alta Vista. Since many homes are from the 60s and 70s, they feature older layouts without an open concept and thus with limited air flow around the home and smaller separate rooms.
When we install new windows, we work closely with you to make sure you get the most of your new windows, so even with an older layout we can open up window openings and install bigger windows or a different type of window than what you have now, so you have better air flow and ventilation!
Older windows also tend to have warped or damaged frames and a lack of weatherproof seal leading to too much condensation and fog on the windows which can lead to further water damage to your home. New windows from Buildmart take care of all that, improve the aesthetic curb appeal of your Alta Vista home and make it more energy-efficient!
Casement Window Alta Vista
In Alta Vista, we install a lot of new casement windows for our clients —casement windows are a popular choice due to their versatility and functionality. They provide excellent ventilation, allowing fresh air to flow into the home when opened fully. The unique design of casement windows also offers unobstructed views if you want to have a better view of your backyard or green space in Alta Vista and ample natural light flooding your home.
Buildmart’s team of professional installers ensures precise measurements and seamless installation, as each window is made custom to size, maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing drafts in your home. Here at Buildmart, we deliver casement windows that enhance the aesthetic appeal, energy efficiency, and overall value of your Alta Vista home.
Sliding Window Alta Vista
At Buildmart, we install a lot of sliding windows for our clients too — sliding windows are known for their sleek and modern design, which adds a contemporary touch to any home, especially if you want to refresh your Alta Vista home from the 60s or 70s.
One major advantage of sliding windows is their ease of operation. They glide smoothly along the track, allowing for effortless opening and closing. Because the windows don’t open outwards or inwards, they’re great on saving space, which can be perfect for your older Alta Vista home with less of an open concept design.
Sliding windows also provide excellent natural ventilation, as they can be partially or fully opened to let in fresh air. Additionally, sliding windows are highly energy-efficient, and all of our STAGE windows are ENERGY STAR certified, with tight weatherproof seals that minimize air leakage and help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
Awning Windows Alta Vista
An awning window is like a casement window but opening with a hinge from the top. One key advantage of awning windows is their versatility in providing both ventilation and protection from the elements for your Alta Vista home.
Awning windows can be opened outward from the bottom, allowing fresh air to enter while keeping rainwater out. This feature makes them an ideal choice for areas prone to frequent rain showers such as our summers here in Ottawa!
Additionally, awning windows offer enhanced security, as they are difficult to pry open from the outside, perfectly protecting your family in Alta Vista. The modern and stylish design of the awning windows adds aesthetic appeal to your home, while their tight weatherproof seals contribute to improved energy efficiency, and every window is ENERGY STAR certified.
Altogether, new awning windows provide a combination of functionality, protection, and visual appeal for your Alta Vista home.
Single-Hung Windows and Double-Hung Windows Alta Vista
Another very popular type of new window our Alta Vista clients purchase and pair with other window types is the single- and double-hung window configuration.
Single-hung windows are known for their classic design and simple operation. They open vertically from the bottom, allowing for controlled ventilation, perfect near a kitchen or bathroom of your Alta Vista home, and easy cleaning of the exterior glass.
On the other hand, double-hung windows provide even greater flexibility as they can be opened from both the top and bottom sashes. This allows for increased airflow and the option of improved ventilation. Both types of windows offer energy efficiency with their tight seals and weather-stripping for further insulation. Additionally, their timeless aesthetic adds charm and value to your Alta Vista home.
Door Installation Alta Vista
Buildmart Windows & Doors offers quality door replacement and installation services to our clients in the Alta Vista neighborhood of Ottawa.
Replacing older creaky or damaged doors with new ones can greatly enhance the functionality, security, and curb appeal of your Alta Vista home. Here at Buildmart, we provide a wide selection of high-quality doors, including entry doors, patio doors, and garden doors crafted from durable materials such as steel, fiberglass, aluminum, wood, and vinyl to suit various architectural styles and personal preferences.
Buildmart’s skilled team of professionals ensures a seamless door replacement process, every time. We meticulously measure and install each door, paying attention to details such as proper insulation and weather sealing, as well as our four-corner steel structural reinforcement system which prevents the door from shifting. At Buildmart, we guarantee a quality delivery and installation of your new doors that improve energy efficiency and enhance the overall aesthetics of your Alta Vista home.
Entry Doors Alta Vista | Patio Doors Alta Vista
Since many homes in Alta Vista are older, your entry doors may be older too, which means they are likely not as safe or secure as brand-new doors. At Buildmart, every one of our entry doors comes equipped with a steel multi-point lock system so your door can never be broken down easily.
The same goes for our patio doors! Ensure your home and family are protected from every angle with a stylish new set of patio doors for your Alta Vista home — door technology has come a long way and the patio doors slide beautifully so you can host backyard parties or easily keep an eye on your kids playing outside.
