Every window, door and glass service you can request in Montreal
Start from what you're seeing, in your own words. We're not a glazier: we connect you with an independent vitrier or door professional who takes on that kind of job in your area. A photo of the part, or of the sticker on the frame, gets you to the right soumission faster than any trade word. One request can cover a fogged thermos and a torn moustiquaire together.
Windows & thermos
Windows and thermos: the glass, the mechanism or the whole window
Fog between the panes
A thermos embué has lost its edge seal. In a sound frame, the unit is usually replaced on its own and the window stays.
The window won't close
A manivelle that spins, a barrure that won't catch or a guillotine sash that drops. Often one worn part, swapped on its own.
A cracked or broken pane
From one pane in an old wood sash to a full thermos in a PVC frame, the glass is made to size.
The frame itself is done
Rot, warping or drafts all round point to a new window. Check your borough's permit and any subsidy before signing.
Doors
Patio doors, balcony doors and door glass
The porte-patio won't lock or slide
Worn rollers, a dirty track or a tired lock, usually. A repair often brings back the slide and the lock without a new door.
A balcony door upstairs
Doors onto a plex gallery on the second or third floor, repaired or replaced within your borough's rules on appearance.
Cracked glass in an entry door
A cracked glass insert, transom or sidelight can usually be replaced while the door itself stays hung on its hinges.
Screens
Window, door and gallery screens
A torn moustiquaire
Torn mesh is usually rescreened in its own frame. A bent or cracked frame is when a new screen makes more sense.
A screen door off its track
Sagging, dragging or jumping the track: the rollers, spline or handle can usually be replaced without buying a whole new door.
Screening a gallery or balcony
Screens for a back gallery or covered balcony, sized to the posts and railings you already have, for summers outdoors.
Glass & mirrors
Shower glass, mirrors and glass cut to size
Shower doors and tub screens
Hinged doors, fixed panels and tub screens in safety glass, made to measure for a bathroom that rarely has square walls.
A mirror cut to fit
For an alcove, a closet door or a whole wall: cut to size, edged, then fixed in a way that suits the surface.
Tempered or shaped glass
Tabletops, shelves, cabinet inserts and odd shapes, cut from a template or your measurements, and tempered wherever safety calls for it.
Commercial
Commercial glass: storefronts, doors and curtain walls
A broken vitrine
A shop window cracked or smashed on the street. The opening is secured first, then the new glass is ordered to size.
An entrance door that won't close
A worn ferme-porte, a dropped pivot or a lock that no longer catches on a glass or aluminum shop door.
Glazing on a larger building
Curtain-wall panels and commercial window units in offices, towers and mixed-use buildings, including fogged units several storeys above the street.
Owners & managers
Landlords, property managers and condo syndicates
Several flats, one request
Owners and managers of plexes and walk-ups can group windows, doors and screens across units, before July 1 or between tenants.
Condo windows and common glass
For syndicates and co-owners working out who decides on windows and patio doors, and what the borough's permit file needs.
Glass broken tonight
After a break-in or a storm, the opening is made safe and covered first. The new glass is measured afterwards.
Weighing it up
A new thermos, a repaired part or a new window?
Keep the window when
- The frame is solid and only the thermos has failed
- One part is worn: a manivelle, a barrure, a balance
- Your borough favours keeping original windows
Replace the window when
- The frame is rotted, warped or leaking
- Several units keep failing in the same window
- You want Rénoclimat, which covers complete windows only
