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.
Condensation in winter
With 154 freezing nights a year, condo glass gets cold. Open the louvers on cold days so warm air reaches the glass, and wipe the sill if moisture collects.
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 Ottawa
16% of Ottawa's homes are studios or one-bedrooms and 19% are in buildings of five storeys or more. Condos here are often two- or three-bedroom units, so orders run larger than in a downtown tower. In Clarence-Rockland, 34 km away, 6% of homes are studios or one-bedrooms, fewer than here.
Owners live in 64% of homes; check the condo board's rules on what shows through the glass before you order.
