Quality Full-Frame Custom Window Replacement
When replacing home windows, our clients usually choose to upgrade the type of window to a new, more energy efficient one. But what if your windows could do even more for you?
At Buildmart, we look at your home and recommend if a different window would be a better fit — for example, replacing a sliding window with an awning window will let in more light and give you a better view.
An awning window removes the frame in the middle while maintaining the same ventilating capacity. Contact us for a free consultation to talk about your new windows and the best designs for your home in the Ottawa-Gatineau area.

We offer a selection of window profiles in 12 different colours. You have the flexibility to tailor your selection based on your preferences — choose one colour for the exterior and another for the interior of your windows.
Depending on the style of your home, you might opt for a striking contrast like a black exterior and white interior, or any other combination of colours.
All window profiles are painted by the manufacturer with high-quality paint, designed to resist UV exposure and withstand extreme temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Triple Glazed Windows Have Condensation in the Winter?
Triple glazed windows are designed to minimize condensation in winter by creating two insulating air spaces with the additional pane of glass. This insulation reduces heat transfer between the interior and exterior of buildings, reducing the likelihood of condensation forming on the inside surface of the windows.
These windows offer enhanced thermal performance, maintaining a consistent indoor temperature and reducing the potential for condensation to form when warm, moist air contacts colder window surfaces. While some minimal condensation may occur under extreme conditions, triple glazed windows significantly reduce condensation compared to single or double glazed windows.
Curious about how triple glazed windows perform in extreme temperatures of up to -40 Celsius?

Are replacement windows worth the money?
Absolutely! Here are the top 3 reasons why:
- Enhanced Comfort: Replacement windows improve the comfort of your home by regulating indoor temperatures. They keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, creating a more enjoyable living environment throughout the year.
- Increased Home Value: Investing in replacement windows adds significant value to your home. Home upgrades, especially energy-efficient ones like new windows, are highly desirable to potential buyers and can increase your property’s resale value.
- Cost Savings on Utilities: Upgrading to energy-efficient windows can lead to substantial savings on utility bills. By reducing energy loss, these windows make your heating and cooling systems work more efficiently, resulting in lower energy consumption and lower monthly utility costs.
What is the most cost-effective way to replace windows?
We genuinely think that our current offer – a free upgrade to triple glazed windows free of charge, coupled with the Greener Homes Grant initiative, is the best and most cost-effective way to replace windows.
Which type of window should I get for my home: double-pane or triple pane?
In 99% of cases, triple pane windows will be the better choice since they are, on average, 20% more efficient than their double-pane counterparts. We highly recommend installing triple pane windows unless the frame of your home cannot support the increased weight of the triple-glazed panes.
Question: How can I tell if my window replacement company is reliable and trustworthy?
To assess the reliability and trustworthiness of your window replacement company, follow these steps:
- Read their Google Reviews.
- Check out their social media profiles, such as Instagram and Facebook.
- Review other platforms like HomeStars or Trusted Pros for additional feedback.
- Look for companies with an average review rating between 4 and 5 stars. This is a strong indication that the company is reputable and reliable.
