Window walls
In towers, glass often runs floor to ceiling and wall to wall. A mounting frame gives the panels a square edge, and tier-on-tier panels let you open the top for light and keep the bottom closed for privacy.
Renting
Shutters screw into the frame, so ask your landlord first. Taking them down later leaves only screw holes to fill.
Building rules
Most condo corporation rules are about what shows from outside: often white or off-white facing the glass. Check yours before ordering a colour, and book the elevator for delivery and install day.
A condo order in Vancouver
41% of Vancouver's homes are studios or one-bedrooms and 31% are in buildings of five storeys or more. A condo order here is usually a bedroom, a living-room window wall and a balcony door. In West Vancouver, 8 km away, 17% of homes are studios or one-bedrooms, fewer than here.
55% of homes are rented, so many buyers here ask the landlord before fitting anything to the frame.
