The windows in Burnaby's homes
By age, 11% of Burnaby's homes went up in 1960 or earlier, 25% between 1961 and 1980, 28% between 1981 and 2000 and 36% in 2001 or later.
In New Westminster, 6 km away, 41% of homes are built in 1980 or earlier, 6 points more than here.

Wide windows split into sections
69% of homes are apartments or condos, where windows are often wide. A wide opening is split into several panels joined by T-posts at the window's own mullions, so the shutter lines up with the glass behind it.
Low winter sun through south windows
In December the midday sun is only 17° above the horizon here, so it reaches deep into rooms through south-facing windows. Louvers tilted with the room-side edge up send that light toward the ceiling instead of across a screen or a sofa.
Cranks, handles and shallow frames
In the 36% of homes built in 2001 or later, windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, with crank or lever handles. Measure from the glass, or the handle if it sticks out further, to the face of the trim: that depth decides whether you mount inside, outside or on a frame.
How many windows a Burnaby home has
The most common home in Burnaby is a two-bedroom (34% of homes), and the most common kind is an apartment or condo. No Canadian survey counts windows by type of home; in the US, the middle apartment in a larger building has 3 to 5.
23% of homes have four bedrooms or more and 25% one or none, so most orders sit near the middle of that range. Large homes are less common here than in 79% of the 167 Canadian cities we have figures for. In New Westminster, 6 km away, 12% of homes have four bedrooms or more, fewer than here.
