Worried that double front doors are easier to break into? They’re not — if you install them right. See what actually affects security and how to fix weak spots.
Tall living room windows can bring more daylight into the space while creating a strong vertical feature that makes the room feel brighter and more open. This 48 x 60 casement window offers generous glass area and practical ventilation for a main-floor family room.
Installed in a front-facing family room in Rexdale, Toronto, this retrofit window replaces the existing unit while preserving the surrounding wall and interior finishes. Its taller proportions allow natural light to reach farther into the room without requiring an unusually wide opening.
The warm exterior finish creates the distinctive look of a sandalwood vinyl window, offering a softer alternative to black, brown, or standard white frames. The white interior keeps the family room light and neutral, making the window easy to coordinate with different wall colours, furniture, and trim.
Low-E 180 double-pane glass with argon gas helps reduce heat transfer and maintain more consistent indoor temperatures throughout the year. The Super Spacer glazing system supports the long-term performance of the sealed glass unit and helps reduce condensation around the edges.
