Falcon WD supplies and installs made-to-measure replacement windows, steel and fiberglass entry doors, and sliding patio doors for Kitchener homeowners. Before a product is specified, we review the existing frame, sill, exterior cladding, interior trim, access and how each opening is used.

Kitchener has a varied residential building stock. Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census profile recorded 99,810 occupied private dwellings: 47.5% single-detached houses, 5.4% semi-detached houses and 12.9% row houses. It also reports that about 48.6% of occupied dwellings were built in 1980 or earlier. That mix makes opening-by-opening assessment important because frame depth, masonry, siding, trim and earlier renovations can differ substantially.
The City recognizes active neighbourhood associations across areas such as Auditorium, Central Frederick, Centreville-Chicopee, Doon Pioneer Park, Huron, Stanley Park, Victoria Hills, Westmount and Williamsburg. These names are useful service-area context, not a claim that every house in a neighbourhood is the same age or construction. Product and installation choices are based on the measured property, not a neighbourhood stereotype.
A Kitchener window deserves closer inspection when the sash binds, locks no longer align, insulated glass fogs between panes, hardware is worn, or air and moisture appear at the perimeter. Cold winters, summer sun and repeated freeze-thaw cycles test the entire opening, so the glass, frame, sill, sealants and surrounding finish are reviewed together.
Available configurations include ENERGY STAR certified window models with double- or triple-pane insulated glass, Low-E coatings, argon fill, warm-edge spacers, screens, exterior colours and compatible hardware. We compare whole-unit U-factor and Energy Rating together with window size, orientation, shading and operating style instead of treating pane count as the only performance measure.
Retrofit installation can be appropriate when the retained frame is sound, square and suitable for the new unit. Full-frame replacement may be the better scope when the old frame, sill or perimeter needs to be exposed. Brick returns, siding, jamb depth, casing, capping and water-management details are reviewed before the order is finalized.
For the entrance, Kitchener homeowners can compare custom steel and fiberglass doors, single or double systems, sidelites, transoms and sliding patio doors. Panel design, privacy or decorative glass, colour, sill, screen, handles and locking hardware are coordinated as parts of one measured doorway.
The City of Kitchener says replacing a door or window within an existing opening does not require a building permit when structural members are unchanged and no fire-resistance rating is in place. Installing a new opening or increasing its width does require a permit. Confirm structural, masonry, header, fire-rating or egress changes with the City before products are ordered.
Planning several replacement windows, a new entrance system or a patio door for your Kitchener home?
Schedule an on-site assessment so the written quotation reflects the actual openings, selected products, access and finishing work.
Long-term performance depends on the connection between the new unit and the wall. Falcon WD coordinates final measurements, product selections, access, insulation, perimeter sealing, exterior finishing and operation checks from the first Kitchener assessment through handover.
Falcon WD has served Ontario homeowners since 2010. Each Kitchener project moves through a documented sequence: assessment, written scope, final measurement, order verification, installation, finishing and homeowner review.
Falcon WD is BBB Accredited. Kitchener homeowners can compare independent feedback on Google, BBB and HomeStars while evaluating window and door contractors.
ENERGY STAR certified window models are available. We explain operating style, whole-unit ratings, glass package, Low-E selection, colour, screen and hardware without turning a laboratory rating into a guaranteed household saving.
The quotation records the approved product and agreed work for every opening. It can identify removal, fitting, insulation, perimeter sealing, exterior capping or finishing, operation checks, cleanup and disposal of replaced units.
Kitchener properties include detached, semi-detached and row houses with brick, siding, stone and mixed exteriors. Frame colour, grille pattern, jamb depth, casing and capping should coordinate across the elevation while still respecting the conditions at each opening.
A single-hung window keeps the upper pane fixed while the lower sash moves vertically. It provides simple ventilation without projecting outward toward a Kitchener walkway, driveway or deck.
A double-hung window allows both the upper and lower sashes to move. Depending on the selected model, it can provide flexible ventilation and more convenient access to the glass for cleaning.
A picture window creates a broad fixed glass area for daylight and an unobstructed view. Where ventilation is also needed, it can be combined with proportionally matched casement or awning windows.
An awning window is hinged at the top and opens outward from the bottom. It can suit shorter or higher wall openings when exterior clearance, ventilation and the room layout have been checked.
A casement window opens outward on side hinges and closes against compression seals. Handing, screen placement, crank clearance and nearby exterior obstacles are selected for the specific Kitchener opening.
A fixed casement does not open, but its frame profile can align with operating casements. This helps create balanced sightlines in multi-window combinations across a Kitchener façade.
A single slider combines one moving sash with one fixed pane. Its horizontal operation can be useful where an outward-opening sash would interfere with a path, patio or other exterior space.
A double slider allows both sashes to move horizontally. Screen placement, locking hardware and any removable or tilt-in cleaning features depend on the selected product and should be confirmed before ordering.
An end-vent slider uses a wide fixed centre pane with an operating sash at each side. It can preserve a balanced appearance and provide ventilation at both ends of a wider Kitchener opening.
Bay and bow windows project beyond the exterior wall and affect the interior ledge, exterior support, roofing or capping. Dimensions, structure, weather protection and finishing must be evaluated before changing an existing Kitchener opening.
A sliding patio door provides a wide glazed connection to a deck, patio or backyard without the swing space of a hinged door. Panel direction, screen operation, sill height, glass and locking hardware are confirmed for the measured Kitchener opening.
A custom steel entrance can combine a selected panel, privacy or decorative glass, colour, handles, lockset, sidelites and transom. The slab and frame are specified together so dimensions, weatherseals and hardware remain compatible.
Fiberglass entry doors are available in smooth and wood-grain finishes. Panel style, glass, colour, sidelites, transom, sill and hardware are coordinated with the size and exterior design of the Kitchener home.
A well-planned replacement can improve operation, weather resistance, comfort and appearance. The result depends on the complete assembly—glass, frame, hardware, insulation, sealants and finishes—and how it is integrated with the existing wall.
Reduce air movement at the perimeter: Accurate sizing, compatible insulation and continuous sealing address leakage paths around the frame rather than focusing only on the glass.
Choose glass for the room and exposure: Pane count, Low-E coating, gas fill, spacer, orientation and exterior shading should be evaluated as one specification.
Read complete-unit ratings: A lower U-factor and a higher Energy Rating indicate better tested performance, but configuration and size still influence the final product.
Plan for daily operation: Sash dimensions, patio-door rollers, weatherstripping, locks and entry hardware should suit the people who use the opening.
Coordinate security components: Available options can include reinforced window locks, upgraded entry hardware and compatible multipoint locking systems.
Protect the sill and wall connection: Insulation, sealants, flashing and capping need to work together through Kitchener rain, snow and freeze-thaw conditions.
Keep elevations visually consistent: Frame colours, grille layouts, door glass and hardware can be coordinated across mixed window sizes and housing types.
Resolve interior details before ordering: Jamb depth, casing, handles, blinds and room-side sightlines should be checked during measurement.
Verify every custom selection: Final size, handing, opening direction, glass, colour, screens and hardware are confirmed before manufacturing.
A documented workflow keeps the estimate, final measurements and factory order aligned. Multi-opening projects, custom colours, specialty shapes or proposed masonry and framing changes require additional review before production.
1
We inspect how each window or door operates, the condition of the frame and glass, sill and perimeter, adjacent brick or cladding, interior trim, access and the homeowner’s priorities.
2
After approval of the proposal, final measurements are taken and operating style, glass package, colours, screens, hardware, jamb and finishing selections are recorded for each opening.
3
The recorded dimensions and specifications are reviewed before production. Scheduling is coordinated around confirmed product availability, crew access and the site requirements documented for the Kitchener project.

The crew completes the agreed removal, fitting, insulation, perimeter sealing and finishing. Sashes, panels, locks and hardware are tested; work areas are cleaned; and replaced units are removed when disposal is included in the quotation.
Ready to plan window or door replacement for your Kitchener home?
Request an in-home assessment for replacement windows, a custom steel or fiberglass entrance, or a sliding patio door.
These answers cover frequent planning questions from Kitchener homeowners. The signed quotation, final product specification and applicable written warranty documents determine the actual scope and coverage for each project.
Arrange an assessment when windows are difficult to open or lock, insulated glass fogs between panes, frames or hardware are damaged, or drafts and moisture appear around the perimeter. The entire opening should be examined before the replacement method is selected.
Falcon WD offers casement, awning, fixed casement, picture, single- and double-hung, single and double slider, end-vent slider, bay and bow configurations. Dimensions, ventilation, egress where applicable, product limits and room layout guide the choice.
The City of Kitchener says an existing door or window may be replaced within the same opening without a permit when no structural member changes and no fire-resistance rating is in place. A new opening or an increase in width requires a permit. Confirm masonry, header, structural, fire-rating and egress changes with the City before ordering.
No. Double- and triple-pane packages can both be appropriate. Compare the ENERGY STAR certified model as a complete unit, including U-factor, Energy Rating, operating style, Low-E coating, gas fill, spacer, orientation and budget.
Yes. Falcon WD supplies custom steel and fiberglass entry systems, sidelites, transoms and sliding patio doors. Glass, colour, screen, sill, handles, opening direction and locking hardware are confirmed for the selected product and measured Kitchener doorway.
The written quotation can include removal, installation, insulation, perimeter sealing, exterior capping or finishing, operation checks, cleanup and disposal. Interior trim, jamb extensions, masonry or structural changes are included only when specifically listed.
Price depends on the number and dimensions of openings, configuration, glass package, colours, hardware, replacement method, access and finishing requirements. Falcon WD prepares the quotation after the Kitchener openings and requested work have been assessed.
Manufacturer coverage can extend up to 25 years depending on the selected product line, glass and components. Installation coverage depends on the contracted work. The applicable written terms are provided for review before the order is finalized.

I wanted to highly recommend the services of Falcon Windows and Doors. They installed my new windows last week, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The windows are beautiful, high-quality, and have made our home noticeably warmer and quieter — we now hear much less noise from the street.
From start to finish, Andriy’s service was impeccable. I sent an email early on a Saturday morning, and he reached out the same day to schedule a visit and provide a quote. We placed the order, and within just five weeks, the windows were ready for installation.
On installation day, three very polite and professional gentlemen arrived early. They carefully covered all the floors to prevent any damage and worked efficiently and nonstop until everything was completed. They also cleaned up thoroughly afterward.
Andriy personally came on the day of installation to ensure everything was in perfect order.
I truly recommend Falcon Windows and Doors for your next project — you’ll be as impressed as I am!
