WHAT IS A DOUBLE-PANE WINDOW?

A double-pane window features two sheets of glass separated by a sealed air or gas-filled space that improves insulation and comfort. This practical design helps maintain a steady indoor temperature — keeping your home warm during Alberta’s cold winters and cool through the summer heat.

Compared to older single-glazed models, modern double-glazing significantly reduces drafts, condensation, and energy loss. The air gap between the panes acts as a thermal barrier — often filled with argon gas — which limits heat transfer and lowers energy consumption. As a result, your home feels more comfortable, quiet, and efficient in every season.

Homeowners who choose double-pane windows in Calgary, Edmonton, and nearby Alberta communities value how seamlessly performance, clarity, and style come together. These windows let in abundant natural light, reduce outdoor noise, and enhance daily comfort while improving a home’s overall efficiency.

At Best Solution Windows and Doors, we provide and install ENERGY STAR® certified double-glazed windows built to perform in Alberta’s challenging climate. Each product combines quality craftsmanship, durability, and long-term energy savings — a reliable investment that adds comfort, beauty, and value to your home.

OUBLE PANE WINDOW STYLES

Casement Double Pane

Casement windows are hinged on one side and open outward, allowing precise control of airflow. When closed, they form a secure, weather-tight seal that blocks drafts and wind.
These units balance performance and style beautifully — ideal for bedrooms, offices, or living spaces. They provide reliable insulation, easy operation, and a contemporary appearance that suits both traditional and modern homes.

Fixed Double Pane

Fixed windows remain closed, maximizing insulation and natural light. Their sealed design minimizes air leaks and heat loss, making rooms comfortable in every season.
These units are perfect for living rooms, stairways, and accent walls — wherever you want a bright, unobstructed view. With sleek lines and modern proportions, they enhance your home’s look while improving its efficiency.

Awning Double Pane

Awning windows open outward from the bottom, providing ventilation even during rain. This smart design is especially popular in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, where privacy and airflow matter most.
Built with durable frames and advanced sealing technology, these double-glazed windows prevent moisture and ensure year-round comfort. They pair perfectly with fixed units to create bright, versatile window combinations. While double-pane windows cost less than triple glazing, they still offer impressive insulation, humidity control, and comfort that homeowners appreciate year-round.

Custom Double Pane

Custom 2-pane windows are crafted to match your home’s exact dimensions and architectural details. Whether you prefer unique shapes, decorative trims, or extra-large openings, each unit is engineered for precision and performance.
Made with advanced Canadian manufacturing technology, they combine energy efficiency, durability, and design flexibility — adding a personalized touch that complements your space.

ADVANTAGES OF DOUBLE PANE WINDOWS

Energy Efficiency

Two insulated glass layers create a thermal barrier that helps maintain steady indoor temperatures year-round. This design keeps your home comfortable while reducing heating and cooling costs.

Noise Reduction

The space between the glass panels absorbs outside noise, making interiors quieter and more relaxing — perfect for urban areas or busy streets.

Condensation Control and Longevity

Effective sealing minimizes moisture buildup and prevents frame damage. Durable materials and precise construction ensure long-lasting performance with little maintenance.

Savings

Since double-pane windows are more affordable, you can save on your overall project cost.

OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES

Casing Options

Every home deserves windows that look perfectly finished inside and out. We offer a selection of premium casing materials designed to match your décor — whether your preference is for a minimalist, modern appearance or a timeless, classic touch.

Available materials:
Vinyl casing — durable, moisture-resistant, and easy to care for.
MDF casing — smooth and refined, ideal for achieving a high-end interior look.
All casings come pre-finished and ready for installation, so you can enjoy a clean, elegant result immediately without the need for painting or extra work.

Low-E Coating

Our advanced Low-E coatings are designed to keep your home comfortable in every season.
These nearly invisible layers help reflect indoor warmth during colder months and block excess solar heat in summer. The result is a naturally balanced temperature and reduced energy consumption.
Your project manager will help select the best coating option to balance light, clarity, and insulation based on your home’s location and exposure.

Panes Options

Because glass makes up most of the surface area, its quality has a major impact on comfort and performance.
Our insulated glass units provide excellent temperature control and sound reduction, creating a stable indoor environment throughout the year.
Each system is engineered with precision spacers and gas-filled chambers that minimize condensation and improve overall efficiency — a practical choice for Alberta’s demanding climate

Grilles

Add architectural interest and character with decorative grille designs.

We offer:
FDL (Full Divider Light) — grilles applied on both sides of the glass for a handcrafted, traditional appearance.
SDL (Simulated Divided Light) — exterior grilles combined with removable or fixed wood inserts inside for a clean, balanced look.
From heritage-inspired to modern geometric layouts, every option is crafted to enhance your home’s style and individuality.

Colors

Personalize your windows with beautiful, long-lasting finishes that highlight your home’s character.
Our coatings are applied in a professional facility to ensure smooth coverage, color consistency, and exceptional durability.
Choose from a wide selection of timeless neutrals or bold statement tones, or request a custom color match for a perfect fit. Every finish is built to retain its beauty year after year.

Privacy Glass

Enjoy privacy without giving up natural light. Our textured and tinted glass options soften visibility while maintaining a bright, welcoming atmosphere.
They’re ideal for bathrooms, entryways, or any area where comfort and discretion are equally important.
Each design combines style, function, and peace of mind — allowing you to enjoy both light and privacy with elegance.

How We Deliver Expert Installation — From Start to Finish

Scheduling Final Measurements

We will contact you within 10 days of receiving your deposit to schedule the final measurements. Our installer will take these measurements with great precision to ensure every window fits exactly as intended. During this visit, the installer may carefully remove a piece of window casing or aluminum capping to check the distance between the jamb and the wood frame. This inspection guarantees accuracy and proper preparation for the installation stage.

Production Phase

After the measurements are confirmed, your order moves into production within 5 business days. The process usually takes 8–10 weeks, depending on color selection, hardware, and custom details. Each unit is made to order using durable, weather-resistant materials and ENERGY STAR® certified glass, built to perform reliably in Alberta’s climate. If your design includes special colors or configurations, additional time may be required to complete your order.

Estimated Production Date

We’ll send you an email with your estimated production date and full project timeline. Please review the details carefully and check your inbox for updates. Once you confirm the production schedule, the order goes into processing and cannot be changed or canceled. This step ensures clear communication and helps us maintain smooth coordination through to installation.

Scheduling Installation

When your windows are ready, we’ll reach out to arrange an installation date that works best for you. Our team coordinates each appointment carefully to minimize disruption to your day. You’ll receive confirmation in advance along with any preparation tips, so the entire process feels well-organized and effortless from start to finish.

Installation

Our crew will install your new windows with care and accuracy, ensuring they are securely fitted and sealed. We take pride in maintaining a clean workspace and treating your home with respect. Before installation, please move furniture or belongings at least six feet away from the work area and cover nearby surfaces to protect them from dust. The team will complete the work efficiently while paying close attention to finishing details and quality control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the main benefits of double glazing?

They improve insulation, lower energy costs, and make your home quieter and more comfortable. A well-built double-glazed window helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures through Alberta’s cold winters and warm summers, enhancing comfort in every season.

How much do double pane windows cost, and are they worth it?

Double-pane window costs depend on several factors, including size, frame material, and glass configuration. While the initial investment is slightly higher than for single-glazed models, the long-term gains — lower energy bills, consistent comfort, and strong performance — make them a valuable upgrade for any home.

Where can double glazed windows be installed?

A double glazed window performs well in any area of the home — from bright living rooms and kitchens to quiet bedrooms and basements. Its adaptable design also pairs beautifully with fixed or casement styles, bringing in abundant natural light while maintaining excellent insulation and year-round comfort.

Can 2 pane windows reduce outside noise?

Yes, absolutely. A 2 pane window provides effective sound insulation thanks to the sealed air or gas-filled space between the glass layers. This barrier helps block traffic and street noise, creating a quieter, more comfortable indoor environment — especially valuable for homes in busy or high-traffic areas.

How long do double pane windows last?

When professionally installed and properly maintained, they typically last 20–25 years or longer. Routine cleaning and occasional seal inspection are usually enough to preserve their clarity, insulation, and overall performance over time.

Can I replace old windows with new double pane models?

Certainly. Modern double pane windows are designed to fit most existing openings with minimal adjustments. Skilled installers take precise measurements, ensure a tight seal, and complete the replacement efficiently — giving your home improved energy efficiency and comfort without altering its original appearance.

At Best Solution Windows and Doors, we supply and install double pane windows in Calgary, Edmonton, and nearby Alberta communities, ensuring each project meets local energy standards and delivers long-term performance suited to Alberta’s unique climate.
