Premium Wood Windows: Timeless Elegance

For heritage homes in Rosedale, The Annex, and older Toronto neighborhoods, nothing compares to the authenticity and warmth of wood windows. While vinyl is practical, wood offers unparalleled aesthetic beauty and historic accuracy. Installix specializes in high-end wood window replacement, often using aluminum-clad exteriors to provide the best of both worlds: classic interior charm and modern exterior durability.

The Problem with Old Wood

Rot and Decay

Decades of rain and snow cause untreated wood sills and frames to rot, compromising the structure.

Energy Inefficiency

Single-pane sliding sash windows from the 1920s usually have zero insulation, acting as holes in your wall during winter.

The Risk of Inaction

Moisture intrusion from rotting frames can destroy interior damp walls and lead to black mold.

The Best of Both Worlds: Clad Wood

We primarily install "Aluminum-Clad Wood" windows. The interior is solid pine, oak, or fir (stainable/paintable), while the exterior is protected by heavy-duty commercial aluminum.

Why Choose Installix?

  • Historic Matching: We match muntin bar patterns and profiles to respect your home's character.
  • Low Maintenance Exterior: The aluminum cladding resists fading and chalking, putting an end to exterior scraping.
  • Warm Interior: Real wood is a natural insulator and provides a matchless luxury feel.
  • Custom Stains: Factory pre-finishing available.

Our Process: Craftsmanship First

Step 1: Consultation & Matching

We examine your existing trim and wood grain to ensure the new windows blend in perfectly.

Step 2: Full-Frame Installation

Wood windows typically require full-frame replacement (removing old brickmould/trim) to maximize glass area and ensure proper insulation.

Step 3: Finishing

We install new interior wood casings (trim) and can even pre-stain them to match your floors.

Understanding the Cost

Wood windows are a premium product.

  • Material Cost: Wood windows cost 2-3x more than vinyl due to material and manufacturing complexity.
  • Finishing: Factory painting or staining adds to the cost but saves you hiring a painter later.

Value Anchor: Wood windows significantly increase property value in historic districts.

What Our Clients Say

"Tim came by to assess a bay window that had lost its seal. Instead of pushing a full replacement, he measured for just the glass. The internal grid match was exact. He saved us about $2,000 compared to the other quote."

Ihor Kovalchuk

Etobicoke

"We had a landscaping rock go right through our sliding patio door. Danyil arrived to board it up and measured immediately. He was meticulous about cleaning up the broken glass shards from our hardwood and the deck. The new tempered unit was installed a week later and looks perfect."

Oksana Boyko

North York

"We needed a large custom mirror for our home gym. The team handled the tight turn in our basement stairwell perfectly. The mirror is distortion-free and really opens up the room. Professional work."

Vasyl Melnyk

Mississauga

"Tim is a true craftsman. We have old wood casement windows that were foggy and drafty. He replaced the glass carefully without chipping the paint or damaging the stops. It's rare to find tradespeople who treat your home with this much respect."
