What We Do in Nepean
We replace old, failing windows with new triple-pane units that actually perform. Most of the homes we work on in Nepean are bungalows and split-levels built between 1965-1985 with original windows still in place. Those windows are single-pane or early double-pane with aluminum frames and seals that failed years ago.
Merivale, Bells Corners, Craig Henry, Centrepointe, Fisher Heights — we’ve worked throughout Nepean since 2005. We know these houses and what breaks.
Windows for Your Nepean Home
Casement Windows
Casement windows open on a crank instead of sliding. This makes them easier to operate, especially for homeowners who find lifting heavy sashes difficult. They also seal tighter when closed than sliding windows — important in Ottawa winters.
Available in 12+ colours to match your home’s existing trim and brick. If you have a split-level where reaching windows from outside is awkward, casement windows make cleaning easier since you operate everything from inside.
Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows slide vertically and both sashes tilt inward for cleaning. Perfect for split-level homes where getting to upper windows from outside requires a ladder.
They maintain the traditional look most Nepean homes originally had while delivering modern performance. Upgrade to triple-pane and you eliminate winter condensation completely.
Awning Windows
Awning windows hinge at the top and open from the bottom. You can leave them open in light rain without water coming in. Common in basements and bathrooms where moisture control matters.
They work well paired with picture windows — the picture window provides views and light, the awning provides ventilation.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows work well in tight spaces. Many older Nepean bungalows have small window openings where sliders fit best.
If your current sliders stick or let in drafts, new ones with proper seals perform significantly better than the aluminum-frame units common in homes from the 60s-70s.
Entry Doors and Patio Doors
Entry Doors
Entry doors with four-corner steel reinforcement improve security, stop drafts, and upgrade your home’s appearance. Fiberglass handles Ottawa temperature extremes without warping. Steel provides maximum insulation.
Many Nepean homes still have original doors from the 60s-80s — wood that’s wood, steel that’s rusted, or aluminum frames that never insulated well. Replacement delivers immediate improvement.
Patio Doors
Patio doors with triple-pane glass replace old aluminum sliders that fog up, stick, and leak cold air. Modern patio doors provide smooth operation, better insulation, and clear views.
Common in Nepean homes with walk-out basements or main-floor decks where the patio door sees heavy daily use.
Common Issues We Fix
- Windows 40-50 years old. Original windows from the 60s-80s are past their service life. Seals have failed, efficiency is poor, and they’re costing you money in wasted heat.
- Split-level window access. Reaching upper windows from outside requires ladders and awkward positioning. Double-hung windows where both sashes tilt inward solve this — clean everything from inside.
- Condensation and ice buildup. Frost on interior glass in winter indicates seal failure. Triple-pane windows eliminate this by keeping the interior pane warm enough that moisture doesn’t condense.
- Small, dark rooms. When replacing windows, some homeowners enlarge the openings (we handle framing work) to install larger windows that bring in more natural light.
- Aging in place. Crank-operated casement windows are easier to use than lifting heavy double-hung sashes. We help homeowners choose window styles that remain easy to operate as mobility changes.
Rebates Available
All Buildmart windows qualify for Ontario’s Home Renovation Savings Program and other active Canadian rebate programs. Buildmart’s Rebate Match Program adds $100 per window on top of government rebates.
For a 10-window project where the government provides $100 per window: $1,000 from government programs plus $1,000 from Buildmart — $2,000 total savings.
We provide current program details and help with applications when you get your quote.
Why Triple-Pane Makes Sense for Nepean
We recommend triple-pane for most Nepean homes. It costs more than double-pane but delivers better long-term value.
Triple-pane eliminates winter condensation completely. The interior glass stays warm enough that moisture doesn’t condense. If you currently deal with ice buildup on windows, triple-pane solves it permanently.
It provides approximately 50% better insulation than double-pane. For homes that are 40-50 years old with limited wall insulation, every improvement in window efficiency helps reduce heating costs.
It lasts longer. Two sealed air gaps instead of one means better durability. For homeowners staying long-term — common in Nepean — triple-pane makes sense.
Why Choose Buildmart for Nepean Windows & Doors
- Our own installation teams. No subcontractors. Our installers have worked in Nepean homes since 2005 and know the typical layouts — split-levels with multiple window heights, bungalows with crawl space access, raised bungalows with walk-out basements.
- We recommend triple-pane by default. It costs more than double-pane, but it’s worth it. Triple-pane eliminates condensation completely, provides significantly better insulation, and lasts longer. For Nepean’s established homes and longer ownership timelines, triple-pane makes sense.
- 25-year warranty, transferable. Frames, glass seals, hardware, painted finishes, and installation work. If you sell your home, the warranty transfers to the new owner.

- Custom-made, any configuration. No stock sizes. Every window is built to your exact opening — particularly important in older Nepean homes where openings may not be standard sizes.
