Sunview Windows Home Measuring Guide

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, and concerns about close contact, some people are apprehensive about having contractors, workers, really ANYBODY in their home. And rightly so, as limiting contact seems to be the best way to slow down, and hopefully stop this disease, at least until the helpful folks at the UofS develop a vaccine!

But self isolating doesn’t mean shutting down the entire world. People still need food, medicine, and a warm bed with a roof over their head. And all of those components need other industries to keep functioning as well.  What I’m trying to say is, don’t let your home fall into disrepair under the guise of “self-isolating”. Famously said by many through history when things looked the most dire; “This too shall pass”.

If you have been thinking about renovating, don’t toss everything aside. Now is the time (especially if you have some spare time) to prepare, so when things turn around you are ready to hit the ground running. A lot of renos can’t start tomorrow, even if you are ready, unless you have prepared and ordered ahead of time.

At Sunview Windows, we custom manufacture our windows in Saskatoon to fit your home, so we are generally looking at ~4 weeks (up to 8 weeks on specialty products) before we can install. Rather than wait for everything to blow over, get a jump on it by getting a quote today. 

Now, I know I said that people are being told to limit contact with others, so Sunview has developed a handy window measuring guide to allow you to start the process in getting your windows replaced. Download the guide, fill out the form, and send it in for your free estimate!  You can also see examples of the types of windows, colours, and options by going to https://www.sunviewwindows.ca/windows-doors/

If you have any questions, we are here to help. Just give us a call at 306-934-2870, or email at info@sunview.ca

We will get through this. Until then, support local business, the life-blood of our economy, and happy renovating!

Why Wait? Winter Window Installs

Posted by Michael on with 0 Comment

If you’ve been considering buying new windows, don’t put it off just because it’s winter time. Not only is winter a great time to buy new windows, but you’ll probably have a shorter wait time to have them installed, too.

Sunview Winter Window Install Saskatoon

The biggest concern people have is “Isn’t it too cold out?” Just like summer rainstorms, there are days when the weather is not favourable to install windows. But, with higher quality caulkings and spray insulation, installing in temperatures as low as -20 C is tolerable.


Sunview Winter Window Install

“What about the temperature inside the home during install?” While it is true that to change a window, you have to pull out the old one, installers ensure that the new window is prepped and ready to go before the old one is removed. Once out, there is only an open hole for a few minutes before the new window goes in. In a bedroom, keeping the doors closed minimized the heat loss of the rest of the house. Finally, once you factor in the reduction of heat loss with the new windows, one day with cooler temperatures is well worth the increased comfort and temperature in your home for the remaining winter months.


If you still aren’t sold on a winter install, consider this: as winter is generally a slower time of year in the construction industry, it will also get you the best prices of the year! Sunview custom manufactures their windows right in Saskatoon, and we want to keep our production staff busy. By offering discounts on our products, not only do we make our customers happy, we get to hold on to our highly skilled workers as well, to ensure we can offer the highest quality products and service for years to come.

Does your home have weeping windows? Sunview Windows tip on humidity.

Sunview Windows tip on Humidity & Condensation

A Saskatchewan Winter brings some challenges! 

The moisture that suddenly appears in very cold weather on the interior or exterior of window and patio door glass can block the view, drip on the floor or freeze on the glass. It can be an annoying problem.

Sunview Windows tip on humidity

While it may seem natural to blame the windows or doors, interior condensation is really an indication of excess humidity in the home. Exterior condensation, on the other hand, is a form of dew — the glass simply provides a surface on which the moisture can condense. The important thing to realize is that if excessive humidity is causing window condensation, it may also be causing problems elsewhere in your home.

I have installed new windows and doors. Will this increase the level of humidity in my home?

Modern windows and doors generally have a lower air-infiltration rate than the older products. Also, when new framing is installed, with insulation and full caulking around the perimeter, the house is tighter than in the past has a lower rate of air-change.  Consequently, condensation problems that were not apparent before may surface and some of the steps in the section ‘Controlling the Level of Humidity’ will need to be considered.

Do identical houses have the same condensation problems?

Generally not. Just as heating and hydro bills vary between identical houses, with the same number of occupants, so will the level of humidity. Much of this will depend on the life-style and activities of the household and although appearing identical one house may have a slightly lower air infiltration rate, or other factors, that could influence the humidity level.

Recommended Humidity Levels

Humidity is water vapor, or moisture, in the air. Usually it’s invisible. In the form of steam or ground fog, enough has condensed to be seen. All air contains a certain amount of moisture, visible or not.

HUMIDITY TOO HIGH!
HUMIDITY TOO HIGH!

 

Medical authorities indicate that the level of humidity indoors should not be below 15%. It is generally acknowledged that the level of humidity in houses with a good vapour barrier should not exceed 40%, or, in older homes without a vapour barrier, 35%. Table 1, below, shows suggested levels of relative humidity for inside the home for varying outside temperatures.

Table 1 Relative Humidity with inside Temperature of 20 C (68 F)
Outside air Temperature C
-30 or below not over 15%
-30 to -24 not over 20%
-24 to -18 not over 25%
-18 to -12 not over 30%
-12 to – 6 not over 35%
-6 to 0 not over 40%

 

Controlling the Level of Humidity

Control of the level of humidity is aided if humidistats are used to control humidifiers. If the level of humidity becomes excessive the humidifiers should be switched off until the level of humidity is reduced to the correct level.

For normal day-to-day control of the level of relative humidity in the home the following steps should be considered:

  1. Water vapour is one of the products of combustion with natural gas stoves. Water vapour is also a by-product of cooking. The kitchen fan should be large enough to remove such vapour, or the kitchen door closed and a window opened for ventilation.
  2. Showers, especially, are a source of water vapour. The bathroom door should be kept closed and the room ventilated, using an exhaust fan, or by opening a window.
  3. Drying clothes on a line indoors and unvented dryers are sources of water vapour. The washing cycle is another source. When doing the laundry consider opening a window in the laundry room.
  4. Crawl spaces can be a source of water vapour if they have earthen floors which are not covered by plastic sheeting, or other waterproof membrane.
  5. Keep all rooms, even if unoccupied, heated to a minimum of 10°C (50°F) as condensation will occur in unheated rooms.
  6. As a general rule, long periods of background heating, plus topping-up during periods of occupancy, are more likely to prevent condensation than the same amount of heat introduced over a relatively short period.
  7. Open a window, or windows, for a brief period to ventilate the house each day.
  8. Leaving the damper open in a fireplace, or lighting a fire, will increase ventilation and assist the rate of air change.
  9. If you have a hot air furnace, install a direct fresh air intake.

Room-side glass temperatures – the room-side glass temperature plays an important role in occupant comfort in the home. With high room-side glass temperatures there is less likelihood of condensation forming, down-drafts are reduced making sitting nearer the patio door or window more comfortable, and maximum use can be made of floor space.
The thickness of the glass has little or no influence on room-side glass temperature. With double and triple-glazing units the width of the air space is an influence as is, in the case of Low-E, the layer of invisible “insulation” that has been added to the glass.

Door Decorating For The Holidays

Posted by Rod Buell on with 0 Comment

Once you sweep away all those fall leaves and put away the fall decor, how will you start your holiday Door Decorating?

The seasons are changing and Sunview wants to help you start thinking of holiday Door Decorating, Sunview Windows and Doors in Saskatoon provide new and replacement windows and doors to Saskatchewan. The company primarily makes windows but we also offer solariums (also called sunrooms), screen rooms, conservatories and patio covers through Sunview Solariums Ltd.   Sunview Windows are proud to have the ability to provide the option of financing to our valued clients.

With guests dropping by for celebrations, Christmas parties, and holiday visits, you’ll want to have your entrance looking its best.  Here’s some inspiration:

holiday-door-decorating-wreathWreaths

Autumn decorating can be celebrated with a simple wreath hung outside your front door in warm rusts, golds, browns and greens. A twig or grapevine wreath flecked with peppers, berries or embellished with ribbon can make a wonderful door accessory. Even an unadorned grapevine wreath offers a simple way to let your door say welcome to fall. Tightly wrap a bunch of wheat with twine or ribbon and secure it to the front door for a spin on the traditional wreath. Spray the wheat bouquet with gold paint. Add a red ribbon and it goes from fall to Christmas in a pinch.

Wreath hangers, which usually hang over the door, add a more formal look to a wreath and are available in nickel, brass or bronze finishes. Choose a hanger that can be monogrammed for a special touch.

door-decorating-benchBenches

Create vignettes outside your house that pay homage to the season. Door Decorating  with cushions in fall coloured outdoor fabric can comfy up an outdoor bench. Flank the bench with pots of branches or fall flowers for a pretty autumn setting.

Greenery

Make planters or containers out of creative objects like baskets or hollowed-out pumpkins, and fill them with a wonderful mix of mums, vines, leaves and berries.

Ubiquitous mums add instant autumn flair and can be placed in hanging pots, planted in the garden or set in decorative pots around the porch or front yard. Line your front steps with mums for a welcoming walkway.

For winter, arrange pine boughs in window boxes or planters for a festive welcome.

fall-porch-decor-9474

 

Creative potting

For a country look, use galvanised buckets or barrels as flower pots, either hung from a fence or propped on either side of the door. Door decorating with branches of colourful leaves can be placed in outdoor vases for instant foliage decor. Replace summer flowers in planters or window boxes with dried rosehips, willow branches, trailing ivy or gourds — anything that brings fall or winter to mind.

 

 

Door Decorating

Holiday transformation

Switching from autumn decor to holiday trimmings can be done in a snap. Wreaths can be traditional evergreen, left bare or trimmed with festive touches for the holidays. Replace window boxes with evergreen cuttings, adding holly berries for a complementary “pop”.

Top urns or planters with large pine cones for a simple yet classic look. Intertwine them with mini white Christmas lights for extra holiday sparkle.

Topiaries are a traditional, somewhat formal holiday accessory. Left bare or decorated with lights, framing the front door with a pair of these holiday stand-ins is a sure hit.

Drape a front porch or outline the front door with a garland of spruce, cedar or boxwood for a festive, welcoming touch.

Energy efficiency of doors explained by Sunview team

Our company primarily makes windows but also offers solariums , screen rooms, conservatories and patio covers through Sunview Solariums Ltd.

Energy efficiency of doors

Doors are part of the outer casing of the house. Like windows, doors are subject to different types of heat loss: conduction, infiltration and radiation. If you choose to purchase a door there are a few things to consider. Storm doors are very efficient and when installed properly, protect well against wind and rain.

Energy efficiency of doorsInsulated doors are good for those who do not see storm doors as an option. Newer versions of the insulated door are usually made of foam and wood covered with metal. Doorframes are usually made of wood, dressed with metal or vinyl. Glass doors release a great deal of heat and should not be used unless necessary. If necessary, double paned low emissive glass should be used.

Limiting drafts from your doors

Draft proofing can prove to be the most cost effective way to improve your energy loss. Sealing the gaps and holes between your doors and windows will help eliminate moisture problems. It will also remove outside noises, not to mention reduce heat loss. There are a few materials used to draft proof depending on the size of the gap. The two main types of weather proofing are caulking and weather-stripping. Weather-stripping is mostly used to block air-leakage around doors.. To decide on your weather-stripping you must take into consideration; the size of the gap, durability, how easy or difficult the installation will be, as well as the appearance of the actual weather-stripping.

CApply-Caulk-to-Door-Bottomaulking is another common method used to reduce heat loss. It is not permanent and therefore will need to be repaired over time. There is caulking available for interior and for exterior purposes and each should be used for what they were meant for. Using an exterior caulking interiorly can lead to dangerous gases mixing with the air in a living space. This could cause serious problems. When installing the weather stripping or caulking be sure that all installations meet your requirements & follow manufacturer’s instructions.

The company primarily makes windows but we also offer solariums (also called sunrooms), screen rooms, conservatories and patio covers through Sunview Solariums Ltd.

Sunview Windows are Trusted Window, Door & Sunroom Experts 

Energy Loss through windows explained by Sunview team

Windows and doors are often a major factor in energy loss in your home. Single paned windows that have metal frames are not well insulated and do not keep the heat in or out very well. The edges of doors and windows account for a large amount of air leakage.  Energy loss through windows is the largest and most variable loss in buildings and has major  implications on energy consumption and peak heating and  cooling loads.

Types of Windows

 

Windows only take up between 5-10% of a homes total surface area that is exposed to outside temperatures but account for as much as 53% of the heat lost in a home. Older homes are more susceptible to heat loss because of the structure of the windows. Your options to fix these heat losses are to either purchase new windows or to try some low cost efforts to repair the window. The idea is to purchase the most energy efficient windows possible given your budget and your specific needs. Double and Triple Paned Windows are designed with a trapped air space about a half an inch thick, which functions as an insulator. It works by restricting the amount of air movement, slowing down the heat loss through windows. Low Emissivity Windows have a clear coating on the window to reduce the heat loss or gain. This is an almost invisible coat of semi-conductor or metal oxide film that is applied directly to the glass or on a plastic film that is placed between the two windowpanes. There are two different types of Low-E coatings, hard coats and soft coats. Soft coats are the most effective at reflecting heat and are better insulators of heat. The hard coat is incorporated directly into the surface of the glass and is less likely to be mechanically damaged, so in most cases they are used in single pane storm windows. Windows that are made with low-E films are usually approximately 15-25% more costly than regular double glazed windows. They will also reduce energy loss by around 30-50%. The energy savings will pay for the higher cost of the windows in around 10 years. Argon Gas is a motionless gas that manufacturers use to fill the space between the panes of glass to reduce the heat loss. Argon gas is often used because it is a better insulator than air and has a relatively low cost compared to the alternatives. Low-conductivity spacers separate two pieces of glass when making an insulated glass unit.

Window frame

SLIDE1The way that the window frame is put together has a great impact on the required maintenance and life span of the window. Aluminium frames require little to no maintenance and generally have a long life span. Fibreglass frames are not very available but are high in energy efficiency. Some of these models are filled with a foam insulator to better insulate heat. Vinyl frames require no maintenance and perform well thermally. Wood frames insulate well and have a long life span but they need to be protected from the weather. U-values let you know how much heat is getting through your window. Low U-values mean that there is very little heat getting through the window. Solar heat gain coefficients (SHGC) let you know how much of the sun’s energy is being transferred through the window frame. Ensure that your window is installed properly by getting a professional to install it; a poorly installed window will not work as efficiently.

How to stop energy loss through windows you already have

If you are unable to replace your current windows, there are other ways to improve efficiency and reduce energy loss. You should install storm windows. You can install these windows on the inside or the outside. Your insulation will improve by the dead air that is trapped between the windows. There are a few different types of storm windows such as rigid plastic storm windows, which are attached to the window with a mounting strip. There are the single pane storm windows, which are to be installed each fall and removed each spring. There are the permanent storm windows, which are more convenient than the removable type and have both screening and glass in the same unit. Temporary storm windows are plastic and are attached to the frame with tightly shrunken two-sided tape. Lastly there are window coverings such as blinds and curtains that can help lower the possibility of heat loss especially at night. Make sure that your window covering does not restrict the movement of air because it can cause the window to sweat.

Cleaning Hack: How to Have Spotless Windows for Months

Spotless Windows usually do not last very long… until now!

I have been blessed with a husband who is a perfectionist. I am not a perfectionist.

One way this has really been benefited me is that my husband, Seth, notices dirty windows. Me… yeah, not so much. So once or twice a year my wonderful, perfectionist of a husband drags out the ladder and cleans the outside of our windows. (I clean the bathroom once a week so I’ll call that even!)

spotless windows

This spring he cleaned the windows a little differently. Isn’t it funny how men can think of things so differently? I would never have thought to clean a window with anything other than a window cleaner. But Seth values productivity and was trying to make our clean windows last longer than the first rain storm.

He used Rain-X 2-In-1 Glass Cleaner Plus Rain Repellent on our living room and dining room windows. But he cleaned the bedroom windows with normal window cleaner.

It’s so simple! It’s so obvious! I never would have thought of this myself!

 

 

Check out what our windows look like today–3 months later! Yeah! The last time these windows were cleaned was in April!

cleaning hack

I know a picture of a window doesn’t really show how clean it is but trust me these windows are spotless! Plus, last night we got 3 inches of rain. It has stormed every day this past week and now we are under a flood advisory! It has been crazy how much rain we have had this past month! But that really proves how well this Rain-X can work–not only your vehicles, but also on your home windows and even on your shower doors!

These windows are also facing West, which is the direction all the weather comes from.

Oh, and the windows that were cleaned the normal way–not with Rain-X– they are covered in water spots.

FYI: Rain-X is NOT sponsoring this post! We received our can of Rain-X as a Christmas gift with a bunch of other car cleaning things from a family member. Seth just got this idea one day that it would work on house windows to keep them spotless and it did work! We have not tried other brands or products of Rain-X, but if you do would you please let me know how they work!
