Premium European Window Solutions for Old Montreal Residents

Old Montreal's classified buildings demand energy efficiency solutions that respect strict heritage facades. Maxima Canada's custom tilt-and-turn systems integrate high-performance thermal glazing within profiles engineered to match historical proportions—delivering contemporary thermal performance without compromising architectural authenticity. Our triple-pane Saint-Gobain glass configurations achieve modern R-values while fitting existing greystone openings, eliminating the drafts and condensation inherent to original fenestration. Unlike crank windows that protrude and violate heritage guidelines, our in-swing tilt-and-turn operation functions entirely within the interior plane. Steel reinforcement provides structural stability for the tall, narrow windows characteristic of Old Montreal architecture, while micro-ventilation mode enables fresh air circulation without visible exterior change. Multi-point Maco locking systems secure valuable loft interiors while maintaining period hardware aesthetics where required. Our thermal-break technology prevents the ice formation and heat loss that plagues single-glazed heritage windows, reducing heating costs by up to 50%. For Old Montreal property owners navigating heritage committees and energy bills, Maxima Canada delivers European fenestration expertise—where preservation and performance unite.

The Challenge: Improving Energy Efficiency Without Altering the Facade

Historic lofts and greystone buildings in Old Montreal require improving energy efficiency without altering the facade—a challenge that forces property owners to choose between heritage compliance and thermal comfort. Heritage committees reject modern fenestration that disrupts historical proportions, while original single-glazed windows create ice formation, condensation damage, and heating costs that can reach 50% higher than modern standards. Conventional retrofit solutions compromise either architectural authenticity or energy performance.

Our Solution: High-Performance Thermal Glass Meeting Architectural Norms

Maxima Canada's high-performance thermal glass meeting architectural norms solves both challenges simultaneously. Our custom tilt-and-turn systems integrate triple-pane Saint-Gobain glass within profiles engineered to match historical proportions—achieving modern R-values while fitting existing greystone openings. In-swing operation functions entirely within the interior plane, avoiding exterior protrusion that violates heritage guidelines. Steel reinforcement provides structural stability for tall, narrow windows while thermal-break technology prevents ice formation and reduces heating costs by up to 50%. Micro-ventilation enables fresh air circulation without visible exterior change, while multi-point locking secures valuable loft interiors. Navigate heritage committees confidently with European fenestration expertise.
