4 Reasons Why Installing A Window in the Winter is a Great Idea

With winter just around the corner, or arriving early as it often does in many parts of Alberta, most homeowners assume the time for renovations and home improvements are either completed for the year or put on hold until the frigid temperatures and snow are gone.

However, installing new GreenFox windows in the winter months is not only possible, but there are many benefits to braving the icy weather to accentuate your home with new insulated and heat-saving windows. And while waiting for the spring to conduct home renovations may seem like the obvious choice, the not-so-obvious advantages of fitting your home with state-of-the-art GreenFox windows in the winter might prove to be the smarter alternative.

Is it Possible to Install Windows Properly in the Winter?

While winter window installations do present unique and challenging obstacles, the process is absolutely possible to complete in the winter. To mitigate these challenges and ensure your new windows are installed to perfection, our expert GreenFox installation team will take the necessary precautions and alter their installation process accordingly.

A common misconception about window installation in the winter is the worry that the processes involved in window installation will be compromised by the low temperatures, such as sealants or insulating foam expanding or settling incorrectly.

However, GreenFox window installers are trained to adapt to the conditions and utilize materials that resist the cold temperatures and maintain their structural integrity throughout the installation process.

In addition to using cold-resistant materials, our installation experts ensure a safe and comfortable installation by only working on one window at a time, as well as keeping other entranceways and windows closed to maintain the internal temperature of your home.

By employing these defences against Alberta’s menacing winter, it is possible to successfully install windows in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celcius.
