Triple-pane windows with low-E coatings and argon gas fill provide the best cold-weather performance — reducing heat loss by up to 40% compared to double-pane. In small-town Ontario where temperatures regularly hit -20°C, the investment in premium insulation pays for itself through dramatically lower heating bills.

Vinyl windows are cost-effective ($400–$800 installed) and perform well in Ontario's climate. Fiberglass windows cost more ($700–$1,200) but offer superior strength, less thermal expansion, and a slimmer frame profile that allows more glass area. Both are excellent choices — fiberglass is the premium upgrade worth considering for long-term value.

Absolutely — upgrading from single-pane to double or triple-pane windows reduces outside noise by 50–70%. This is especially noticeable for homes near highways, rail lines, or commercial areas. Laminated glass options provide even greater sound reduction for homes in noisier locations.
