What Weather Pro does for Cochrane homeowners
Founded in 2012. We manufacture and install energy-efficient vinyl windows and exterior doors in Cochrane, selling factory direct and fitting them with our own crews.
Cochrane is a foothills town on the Bow, immediately west of Calgary. The Town’s neighbourhood list puts Sunset Ridge, GlenEagles, Heritage Hills, Fireside, and Heartland on the higher ground, and Riversong, Rivercrest, River Heights, and The Willows lower toward the river. Glenbow, Downtown, East End, and Cochrane Heights are the older streets. Builder units on the ridges are failing early: fog on the windward glass, a sash that has gone light, a whistle you can hear when the wind holds. The same unit downtown may still be fine.
One company measures, builds, installs, and holds the warranty. We check neighbourhood plans in Sunset Ridge, Heartland, Fireside, Heritage Hills, and Riversong at the quote, because colour and grilles are often already decided.

Window types we install in Cochrane
Casement windows
The sash cranks shut and foothills wind pushes it into the seal. This is the standard on Sunset Ridge, GlenEagles, Heritage Hills, and any other wall that takes the gust straight on.
Awning windows
Top-hinged, so it sheds rain and snow while open, and the wind still drives the sash onto the seal. The right small unit on a ridge bathroom or over a counter.
Tilt and turn windows
Tilt for air on a mild day, or swing in to clean the outside pane without standing on a ridge lot in the wind. Locks on four sides.
Specialty shape windows
Arches and angles in a gable. Built to the opening. If the neighbourhood plan fixes the exterior colour, the shape unit is ordered in that colour with the rest.
Single slider windows
One moving sash, no projection. Acceptable on a sheltered side yard. We do not spec it as the windward window on a ridge.
Double slider windows
Both sashes move. Fine on a lower, sheltered wall. On GlenEagles or Sunset Ridge, the meeting rail is what the wind works, so we will usually change this style at the quote.
Picture windows
Fixed glass, no meeting rail, no crank. The strongest way to take a mountain view on a windward wall without adding a sash the gust can move.
Fixed casement windows
Casement sightlines without an operator, mulled beside the casements that do open, so a wide ridge elevation stays one composition.
End vent slider windows
A fixed centre on the view and two smaller operators at the ends. Better than one wide slider on an exposed great room, because the centre never moves.
Single and double hung windows
Vertical sashes for Glenbow, Downtown, and the older proportions. Double-hung tilts in for cleaning. Not the ridge specification.
Bay windows
Three sections. Wind load increases with projection, so on a ridge we look closely at how exposed the bay is before we repeat an original one that has already failed.
Bow windows
A curve of glass is also a curve of wind. We spec it where the elevation can take it, and the neighbourhood plan allows the line. We do not add it to make a ridge house look larger.
Entry and exterior doors in Cochrane built for foothills wind
Weather Pro supplies and installs insulated exterior doors in Cochrane. Same manufacturing, same crews, same transferable lifetime warranty as the windows.
A single latch on a ridge door lets the slab flutter at the top corner. You feel it as a whistle and see it as frost at the threshold after the frame has been worked by pressure, then by a Chinook swing. A new sweep leaves the leak in the jamb. We replace the frame, the sill, and the slab together. River-lot doors see fewer gusts and the same temperature swings, so the seal still has to survive the cycle.
What is in a Weather Pro door:
- Insulated core and weather-tight perimeter seals
- Multi-point hardware that holds the slab along its height when the wind stays up
- Low-emissivity glass inserts, so a view lite in the door is not an empty pane on a ridge elevation
- Fibreglass and steel slab styles and finishes, matched to a neighbourhood plan when that plan governs colour
Professional window and door installation in Cochrane
Our own crews install every Cochrane project. The work fails if a ridge opening is left uncovered while the wind is up, or if a new unit is set into the thin seal a builder left. We prepare the opening and close it before we start the next one.
How installation day works
- Floors and the work zone are protected before a unit comes out
- One opening at a time. On a ridge, the open hole is measured in minutes, not in a lunch break
- The rough opening is inspected, and the old seal is removed
- The unit is levelled, fastened, sealed against wind-driven rain, and insulated to full depth
- Interior and exterior finishing is completed, including a colour the neighbourhood plan already set
- Old units and debris leave with the crew
Most Cochrane houses are finished in one day once the windows are on site. We do not book a ridge install and then leave a wall open because the wind came up. The sequence assumes the wind will be there.
Our Simple 6-Step Process
Measurement
In the first stage, our specialist carefully measures windows and doors. Using professional measuring tools, we ensure each measurement is accurate for a perfect fit.
Product Demonstration
At the second step, we present the selected product to you. It is important for you to personally see the quality and design of the item and to ensure that it will perfectly complement the interior of your home.
Estimate Preparation
In the third step, we provide a precise, transparent estimate. We detail the costs and outline the services to ensure you have a clear understanding of the investment. Our aim is to give you all the information you need to make a confident decision about your home’s improvement.
Order and Factory Build
After you approve the estimate, we place your order and build your windows and doors to the measured sizes. As a Canadian manufacturer, we produce the units for your project rather than pulling generic stock, so each opening gets a purpose-built fit.
Professional Installation
On install day, our trained crew protects your floors, removes the old units, and prepares each opening. Your new windows or doors are set level, sealed against air and moisture, and insulated before finishing; then we remove debris so you are not left with cleanup.
Walkthrough and Warranty
When the work is complete, we walk you through how your new windows and doors operate and what your warranty covers. You leave with a clean home, clear next steps for care, and confidence that the project is finished properly.

We are excluding the middleman
A distributor window is built for a catalogue opening, then sold through a chain. A Cochrane ridge opening needs the sash, the glass, and the install designed for that wind, and the price should not pay a wholesaler for the privilege. We build the unit in our own facility to the measurements, and our crews set it. One warranty, no one in the middle.

View installation mapWindows built for Cochrane wind and Chinook swings
Cochrane gets chinooks often, and the ridges take the wind that comes with them. A temperature that lifts sharply between morning and afternoon works the spacer and the sash seal, and the gust keeps pressure on that seal the whole time. Down in Riversong or along the river, the gust is weaker, and the swing is still there. Fogging shows up first on the windward wall of a ridge house, often on a house that is not old. Downtown and Glenbow do not tell you how that ridge wall is doing.
Here is what we put on a Cochrane house:
- Triple-pane windows on the windward wall, two sealed cavities against pressure and against the Chinook swing
- Casement or awning sashes with multi-point locking, so the wind pushes the sash into the seal instead of under a meeting rail
- Low-emissivity coatings that reflect heat back into the room after the temperature drops again
- Warm edge spacers that tolerate the swing without opening a path at the glass edge
Every Cochrane project is guided by a project manager who stays with it from the first measurement to the last window.
“On a Cochrane ridge the wind is the load I am designing for. A slider that is quiet on a sheltered street will whistle on Sunset Ridge or GlenEagles. I spec the sash the wind pushes into the seal, and that choice stays from the first measurement to the day we finish.”

Getting the most energy savings from new windows
On a Cochrane ridge, heat leaves through the glass, through the frame, and through any gap the wind can pressurize around the frame. The third path is the one a glass-only quote misses.
- Through the glass. A failed double pane on the windward wall is where the room goes cold first.
- Through the frame. Hollow profiles and metal move heat that an insulated multi-chamber vinyl frame slows.
- Around the frame. Wind pressure drives air through a builder gap that looks closed from the sidewalk.
We quote the unit and the opening together. Replacing the sheltered windows because they are easier to see from the street, and leaving the windward wall, will not move the bill the way you expect. Attic and wall insulation still add to the result. ENERGY STAR-rated products certified for this climate zone are the benchmark. Savings depend on how exposed the house is and on which openings you actually change. A river lot and a ridge lot in the same phase are not the same calculation.
Why Cochrane homeowners choose Weather Pro
Our windows use a Quad Seal System: exterior frame seal, vapour barrier, insulated glass cavity, and interior seal. One lock and one gasket is what a foothills gust overcomes on a ridge slider. Four layers, on a sash the wind pushes closed, are what keep Sunset Ridge and GlenEagles quiet. The same stack still matters on a river lot, because the Chinook swing is working the seal even when the gust is lighter.
Factory direct
We build the style that wall needs and our crews install it. No dealer margin, and no handoff between a supplier and an installer.
Quad Seal System
Four sealing layers. On a ridge, that is the difference between a sash that stays shut and a meeting rail that whistles.
Energy-efficient products
Triple glazing on the windward wall, ENERGY STAR-rated for this climate zone. A sheltered downtown opening is specced on its own.
Professional installation
Our crews seal and insulate each opening before they open the next, which is the whole point on a windy ridge day.
Transferable lifetime warranty
Coverage stays with the home if you sell.
Flexible financing
A 0% APR option on approved credit, or a monthly payment plan, so the windward wall doesn’t get deferred one window at a time.
Free in-home consultation
An itemized quote that names the style per wall, and a check of the neighbourhood plan if your lot has one.

What customers say
4.5Amazing people and product. Keith was very very informative and supportive. The installers were punctual and cleaned up the work area after themselves. The windows are very easy to operate, in comparison to the rest of the windows that we have. The locking mechanism is easy to operate.
Read this review on Trustindex →We are really happy with our new windows. We replaced all 9 and they were installed in one day! Vitalli and Dennis were respectful of our home, hard working and very professional. The ordering process was clear, it did take time for manufacturing but Made in Canada was worth the wait. Vitalli: you dropped $10 by accident in our driveway and can stop by any time and pick it up!! We very much recommend Weather Pro
Read this review on Trustindex →I took my time getting 3 different quotes from different window companies to replace windows in my house. The project was fairly big, 12 windows and 2 doors. Weatherpro gave me a price that worked for me so I ended up choosing them, and I’m really happy with my decision. The whole process took around 2.5 months, as I needed custom sized windows and they had to be manufactured. Everything was installed in 1 day by professional crew. If I ever need more windows replaced I’ll definitely call you guys again!
Read this review on Trustindex →We had all of our windows and exterior doors replaced. From start to finish it was a great experience. Olga was wonderful to deal with. The installers were on site for 3 days and replaced 11 windows and 4 doors. Not only do the windows and doors look great, but we immediately noticed a drastic difference in the road noise and drafts from the old window.
Read this review on Trustindex →Guys where great, they did an excellent job installing & cleaning up after the removal of old windows. We got the best price from Weather Peo from 5 quotes. Thanks to all involved.
Read this review on Trustindex →Olga was my project manager and I never found and feel that I was pressured, her presentation was excellent and the most important thing Olga was true to her words.
