Restore Your High-Rise View Without the High Stress
Living in a Ajax condo offers spectacular views, until they are blocked by condensation trapped between your window panes. Condo glass replacement is complex; dealing with aluminum commercial frames, strict condo board rules, and high-rise logistics scares off most contractors. Installix thrives here. We are condo glass replacement specialists, experienced in working with property management to replace failed thermal units in high-rise buildings safely and efficiently.
The Unique Challenges of Condo Windows
Foggy Views & Seal Failure
High-rise windows are subjected to intense wind loads and temperature fluctuations. When seals fail, the resulting fog is often denser than in residential homes. This ruins the primary value of your unit: the view.
Commercial Aluminum Frames
Condos typically use commercial-grade aluminum window wall or curtain wall systems. These are not standard vinyl windows. Replacing glass in these systems requires specialized tools and knowledge of commercial glazing gaskets and pressure plates.
Uniformity Rules
Condo boards require that all windows look identical from the exterior. Your new glass must match the specific tint (Bronze, Grey, Blue) and reflectivity of the rest of the building.
The Solution: Interior Glazing Replacement
Whenever possible, we replace the glass from the inside of your unit. This eliminates the need for expensive swing stages or exterior crane work, drastically reducing the cost and timeline of the project.
Why Choose Installix?
- Board Coordination: We provide the necessary insurance certificates (WSIB, Liability) required by your Property Management.
- Elevator Logistics: We measure elevator dimensions to ensuring large glass units can fit, and coordinate service elevator bookings.
- Tint Matching: We use swatch matching to ensure your new glass blends perfectly with the building's exterior.
Technical Specifications
| Feature | High-Rise Specs |
|---|---|
| Glass Thickness | Often 6mm outer / 6mm inner to withstand wind load (thicker than residential). |
| Safety | Tempered glass is standard for most floor-to-ceiling condo windows. |
| Coatings | Commercial Low-E and Reflective coatings to manage solar heat gain in glass-heavy units. |
Our Process: Hassle-Free for Owners
Step 1: Measurement & Tint Match
We visit to measure the unit and identify the glass make-up. We may compare samples to ensure the tint is correct.
Step 2: Approval & Booking
We help you submit the necessary paperwork to your Property Management. Once approved and the glass is ready, we book the installation.
Step 3: Installation
Our team arrives, protects your floors, replaces the glass, and removes all debris via the service elevator. We leave your unit clean and your view restored.
Pricing Factors
- Unit Size: Floor-to-ceiling units are heavy and expensive.
- Accessibility: If the glass cannot fit in the elevator, stair-carrying adds labor costs.
- Glass Specs: Specialized commercial tints or laminated glass increase material costs.
