Windows are essential to your home’s comfort, efficiency, and curb appeal. But in Calgary, where each season brings its own weather challenges — from snow and moisture in winter to dust, wind, and UV rays in spring and summer — your windows take a beating year-round. Regular cleaning, sealing, and maintenance protect your windows from damage, improve energy efficiency, and extend their lifespan. At Lumina Life, our Calgary-based experts are here to help. Use this seasonal guide to care for your windows and keep them in top shape throughout the year.

Replace with rubber, silicone, or metal strips for lasting performance.
Use acrylic-latex exterior caulking to seal any air leaks before cold weather sets in.
Apply on dry days above 5°C for best adhesion.
Keep tracks and drainage points clear to avoid water buildup.
Checklist:
Storm windows provide a buffer against heat loss. Ensure a snug, insulated fit or confirm your double/triple-pane units are fully sealed.
Humidity indoors meets cold glass, causing condensation.
Solutions:
Ice on the interior of windows signals insulation failure or drafts. You may need to reseal or consider window replacement.
Winter snow mixed with road salt can splash and corrode lower windows.
Wipe salt away quickly to avoid frame damage and staining.
