Frequently asked questions
- Do window installers in Alberta need a license?
- Window installation is not a separately regulated trade in Alberta, but reputable installers carry WSIB/WCB clearance, CGL insurance, and Window Wise certification (an industry standard for residential window installs in Canada).
- Vinyl vs fibreglass vs aluminum windows?
- Vinyl is the most popular choice in Alberta — affordable, energy-efficient, and durable in cold climates. Fibreglass is more rigid and stable in extreme temperatures (premium price). Aluminum is rare in residential due to thermal bridging issues.
