Easy-clean glass is not new technology per se.  But it is still new to a lot of homeowners who do not understand what it is and how it works.  We're not going to get into a scientific explanation here, but basically, easy-clean glass is glass that has a coating on the outside surface that prevent water, dirt and residue from adhering to the window.  This simple coating provides a number of benefits over traditional glass which makes it a must-have for anyone who is looking to get the windows replaced in their Greater Vancouver home.

Our replacement vinyl window rebate promotion was a big success in March.  As such, we've decided to extend the promotion for another month to allow a few more homeowners to take advantage of these great savings with Ecowest.  If you order retrofit vinyl windows with Ecowest we'll give you an instant rebate of $50 per window for orders of 5 to 14 vinyl windows.  If you order over 14 windows, we'll increase your rebate to $75 per vinyl window.

This promotion will end on Apr 30^th so if you're looking to replace your vinyl windows, now is the time.  Contact us today to schedule a free estimate.
