Replacing a thermos is often simpler than you might think. The double glazing unit is the sealed glass unit installed inside your window frame. When it malfunctions, it's not always necessary to replace the frame, mechanisms, and the entire window.
In Greater Montreal, and particularly in Montreal and Laval, here are five questions to ask yourself before requesting a quote.
Question 1
Is the condensation between the two panes of glass?
If you clean the interior and exterior surfaces but condensation remains trapped between the panels, the sealed unit may have lost its airtight seal. This is one of the most common signs that a double-glazed unit needs to be inspected.
Question 2
Is the window frame still in good condition?
If the frame is solid, straight, and functional, it can often be salvaged. The replacement then focuses solely on the faulty double-glazed unit rather than the entire window.
Question 3
Is the window cracked or damaged?
A cracked or damaged double-glazed unit doesn't necessarily mean the entire window needs to be replaced. An inspection can determine if a new sealed unit can simply be installed in the existing frame.
Question 4
Is the problem really coming from the thermos?
A draft around the frame, damaged weatherstripping, or a window that's difficult to close could have another cause. Replacing the glass doesn't automatically fix all window problems.
The right reflex: identify the component that is actually defective before paying for unnecessary work.
Question 5
Should I replace just one pane of glass or several?
Each double-glazed window can be assessed individually. If several windows of the same age show condensation, marks, or cracks, it may be practical to have them checked during the same visit, without automatically replacing all the windows in the house.

Thermos replacement in Montreal and Laval
The temperature variations of Quebec's climate put windows to the test. Problems often become more visible when the cold weather arrives: condensation between the panes, frost, cold glass, or permanent marks.

And if your problem occurs mainly during periods of extreme cold, see our article on ice and frost on the inside of the windows.
