Home 5 Fixed Casement Windows

Three Installation Methods, Matched to Your Home

Not every window replacement needs the same approach — we assess your frame condition and recommend the right method for your project.

Recommended

Brick-to-Brick

Old window comes out entirely, down to the house framing
Choice of three brickmould accessory sizes for a clean exterior finish
Room to upgrade interior trim and jamb at the same time
Delivers a bigger efficiency gain than a retrofit swap
Best fit when the existing window is damaged or poorly insulated

Retrofit

New window installs into the existing frame
Your current interior and exterior trim stays untouched
Quicker and less costly than a full replacement
Works well when the frame underneath is already solid and well-insulated
Still lets you upgrade to better glazing for improved comfort

Stud-to-Stud

Full removal back to the house framing, same as brick-to-brick
Exterior finished with caulking or aluminum flashing instead of brickmould
Bigger efficiency upgrade than a retrofit
Another solid option for a damaged or poorly insulated window

Fixed Casement Windows Installation in Ottawa

A fixed casement window only performs well if it’s installed with precision. The glass needs a proper seal from day one, and that seal needs to hold for years. Our Ottawa team carefully positions every unit, treating measurements and sealing as the two things that can’t be rushed.

Years spent installing these windows have shaped a process that delivers the same result every time, regardless of which Ottawa home we’re working in.

Detailed On-Site Assessmen We visit your home, look at framing and insulation, and then measure carefully so the new window fits tightly and keeps air leaks out.
Expert Product Selection.Frame materials and glass options are walked through together and matched to what will actually perform well in Ottawa’s seasons.
Careful Removal and Preparation.Safety comes first when the old unit is removed, and the opening is prepped with just as much care, so the new window sits level and fully supported once it’s in.
Precision Installation and Sealing.Each unit is fastened with professional systems, then properly insulated to keep drafts and moisture from getting in.
Final Inspection.The job closes with a quality check and a clean space because it isn’t done until it meets our own bar, not just yours.

Rare in the Ottawa Market

One of Few Manufacturers Carrying Super Spacer®

Vinyl Pro is one of a limited number of manufacturers carrying Super Spacer® — a no-metal, dual-seal warm-edge spacer independently tested to have the lowest U-value among dual-seal systems on the market. Most competitors use conventional metal-based spacers, which can lose up to 50% of a window's stated R-value at the glass edge.

What Our Clients Say

Fixed Casement Windows | FAQ Guide

When homeowners start exploring window options, a few practical questions usually come up during consultations. These are some of the answers we often share based on real installation experience working with homeowners.

Can fixed casement windows be customized?

Definitely – fixed casement windows offer several ways to customize the look and fit, so they suit your home’s design and layout. In many of the homes we work on, homeowners choose custom sizes, frame colours, grille patterns, and energy-efficient glass packages to match the surrounding windows. Because these windows don’t open, they’re also commonly used in larger configurations to create wide viewing areas or combined with operable windows for ventilation.

Are fixed windows cheaper than casements?

They usually run a bit lower in cost, mostly because there’s no hinges, cranks, or opening hardware involved. Fewer moving parts also tend to simplify the installation itself. That said, size, glass options, and the condition of the opening still have the final say on price.

Are fixed casement windows low maintenance?

They are, generally speaking. No moving parts means nothing to wear out so upkeep stays about as low as it gets. You can simply clean the glass periodically and check the exterior seals as part of normal home upkeep. In the installations we complete, this simplicity is one of the reasons many people choose them for large windows or hard-to-reach areas.

How long do fixed casement windows typically last?

Done right, a fixed casement window can last 20 to 30 years or more in many homes. From what we’ve seen, it’s material quality plus installation and sealing quality that really determine the outcome. When we do encounter an early replacement, poor installation is usually the culprit, not the window itself.
