Window placement isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it’s a long-term investment in comfort and energy efficiency. Due to the extreme climate changes in Canada, poorly oriented windows can cause heat loss in winter or overheating in summer, resulting in high energy bills and persistent discomfort.
On the other hand, well-placed energy-efficient windows can maximise natural light, reduce reliance on artificial lighting, and enhance indoor comfort year-round. But even in high-performance homes, solar heat gain can become an issue, especially with large south- or west-facing windows.
Discover the right window orientation and how SHGC impact your windows in our recent guide, helping you stay cool in summer and warm in winter without overloading your AC.
