Double Hung windows give Calgary homeowners the classic curb appeal of a sash window and the modern performance required by our harsh prairie climate.
Both the upper and lower sashes glide on a constant‑force coil balance and tilt inward, letting you fine‑tune airflow and clean the outside glass without stepping outdoors. Multi‑chamber vinyl frames, Low‑E argon units, and an optional 1 ⅜″ triple‑glazed package tame our −30 °C cold snaps and sudden Chinook warm‑ups alike, while triple weather‑stripping and a bulb‑seal pocket block wind noise and dust. The result? A window that looks heritage, operates smooth, and insulates like 2025.
At Glarior, we don’t just supply windows — we specialise in professional Double Hung window installation and replacement, ensuring every unit is precision‑fit, perfectly sealed, and ready to perform for decades.
Frame and sash corners are hot-fusion welded into one piece, maximising structural integrity and preventing joint leaks during freeze/thaw cycles.
Because every corner is literally melted together—not just screwed—there are zero seams for water or wind to creep through. That matters in Calgary, where –30 °C mornings can flip to a +10 °C Chinook the same afternoon. The one-piece frame flexes as a unit, so it won’t rack, loosen or whistle under 100 km/h prairie gusts. You stay draft-free, and the window keeps its ENERGY STAR® rating for decades without seasonal adjustments.
A full 7/8″ Low-E/Argon IGU with premium black “S” Class SuperSpacer® comes standard; upgrade to 1 ⅜″ triple glazing for even greater energy savings and condensation control.
At our 1 045 m elevation UV levels are roughly 10 % higher than at sea level—great for tan lines but brutal on cooling costs. The Low-E coating reflects that extra solar load while dense argon slows conductive heat loss on –25 °C nights. The warm-edge spacer reduces edge-of-glass condensation, so you won’t wake to frozen sills or peel-and-stick mould treatments. Opting for triple pane can push U-values low enough to unlock Canada Greener Homes rebates and slash winter gas bills.
Heavy die-cast cam locks and closed-back keepers clamp the meeting rail tight, boosting security and compressing weather-seals for a draft-free fit.
Unlike thin stamped latches that bend over time, these zinc-rich castings resist forced entry and won’t corrode when Calgary’s road salt becomes airborne. Each throw of the lock draws the upper and lower sashes together, stiffening the frame and squeezing the bulb seal. That double duty blocks cold air and gives you peace of mind whether you’re away for a ski weekend or just sleeping with a cracked upper sash.
An interior bulb-seal pocket stops air infiltration where sash meets frame — crucial when Chinook winds gust across the foothills.
The soft, hollow gasket compresses under pressure, forming a dynamic barrier that actually tightens as wind speed rises. It also filters dust, pollen and street noise that ride every warm-front gust. By keeping humid indoor air out of the glazing pocket, the seal slashes winter condensation and prevents the black mildew dots that love to colonise cold vinyl corners.
A tape-glazed system plus a flexible co-extruded exterior seal keep rain out and maintain IGU stability under temperature swings.
Traditional silicone beads can pull away when frames expand and contract 40 °C in a day; our 360° high-tack tape bonds glass to sash like an automotive windshield, eliminating voids where meltwater can pool and freeze. The co-extruded outer gasket flexes, not cracks, during hailstorms or pressure-washing, ensuring your sealed unit stays clear—not foggy—for the life of the window.
At Glarior, our Double Hung installations go far beyond sliding sashes — they cut costs, simplify life, and boost home performance. Here’s what that means for Calgary homeowners:
Both sashes travel within the frame, so nothing swings out over walkways, patios, or flowerbeds — ideal for tight urban lots and second‑storey decks.
Classic sightlines match century homes, while fusion‑welded vinyl and Low‑E argon glazing meet 2025 energy codes. The best of old and new, on one façade.
Optional vent stops let you lock the sash in a partially open position, giving kids fresh air without the risk of a wide opening.
Two frame depths (3 ¼″ & 4 ⅝″) slide neatly into existing openings, trimming labour time and drywall repairs on replacement projects.

We know replacing windows is a big decision, and you may have questions. Here are some of the most common inquiries from our customers.
Both sashes in a Double Hung move up and down and tilt in for cleaning, while a Single Hung has only a movable bottom sash. That extra mobility improves airflow, maintenance, and egress options.
Yes. Our units pair multi‑chamber uPVC frames with Low‑E/argon IGUs and triple weather‑stripping, meeting or exceeding ENERGY STAR® Canada standards for Zone 2 (which covers Calgary).
Installed pricing typically falls between $700 and $1 100 per opening, depending on size, glazing package, and trim work. We provide firm quotes after an on‑site measurement.
For like‑for‑like replacements that don’t alter the structural opening, the City of Calgary usually does not require a permit. If framing sizes change, we’ll handle the permit process for you.
Most homes are completed in one to two days, with minimal disruption inside. Our crews remove, install, insulate, and clean up each room before moving on.
Absolutely. Fusion‑welded corners and die‑cast locks deliver high DP (Design Pressure) ratings, while our glass options include laminated panes for hail‑prone elevations.
Tilt each sash inward, wipe the exterior glass from inside, vacuum the sill tracks, and apply silicone spray to balances once a year. No ladders, no special tools.
Each Double Hung is engineered with Low‑E coatings, Super Spacer® edges, and insulated frames to squeeze every kilojoule out of your heating budget while keeping the look you love.
From prairie‑view picture combos to heritage grille patterns, our catalogue offers sizes, colours, and hardware that fit your architecture and lifestyle – not the other way around.
CSA‑certified labs test our windows for air leakage, water penetration, and forced entry. We back those numbers with a transferable limited lifetime warranty.
Red‑Seal‑certified carpenters use foam, backer rod, and high‑stretch flashing to create a weather‑tight seal — all while protecting your floors and landscaping.
Odourless, inert argon fills our IGUs, lowering centre‑of‑glass U‑values and fighting edge condensation during ‑30 °C cold snaps.
We source UV‑stable uPVC, stainless hardware, and premium sealants directly from Canadian suppliers, offering competitive pricing and flexible financing through major banks.
