Heritage Projects

Heritage North Vancouver home with wood windows and stained glass

Heritage Services

Here at M.R. Windows we understand that each project varies in requirements and details. That's why we offer an array of solutions that suits your desired outcome.

If you have a Heritage Consultant involved with the project, we work closely with them to certify that our products meet their requirements. This could involve leaving the old windows in place and protecting them with custom wood storm sash on the exterior. Or by making new sashes that are made to replicate the existing sash while reducing draft, outside noise and improving thermal performance. In addition, we can supply a full custom wood window package made to replicate the old windows. Whatever the scope of the project is, it's our goal to meet your needs.

We come with a vast experience in heritage homes with our most notable work in Vancouver, the North Shore and New Westminster.
