New window inserts

We came across What A Pane by a Google search. Their website was user friendly and they had the window inserts we wanted. We had to special order the black trims which took approx. 2 weeks but definitely worth the wait. We love the new look! Barry was very helpful and friendly.

Sandy, thanks for choosing us for your 'Allure' door inserts see www.whatapanbe.ca/allure. Sorry we couldn't get the new model black frames sooner but as you know everything is taking a little longer nowadays.

Custom door insert saved after glass broken

My tenant broke the outside pane of a custom door insert. Other so called "door and window" people told my tenant that the custom insert could not be fixed and that my door and custom side window would have to be mismatched or both completely replaced. I had hired "What a Pane" before and called them to assess the situation. Barry told me the insert was easily saved and created a new sealed unit with the metal work inside. He saved my custom front door and did it for a very fair price.

Hi, glad we could solve your problem at a good price. Many companies just want to sell you a complete door system just to solve a comparatively minor problem. We always try and act in our customers best interest.

Beautiful, private and quick service

We were referred by a friend and Barry was prompt in getting back to us! We appreciated his knowledge and expertise and he was very reliable. We moved into a new home with full glass doors and was looking for much needed privacy. Barry and his colleague were on time and their skills were duly noted while they changed our doors with ease and care. We would recommend their services again and are already looking into having them replace another set for us again. Thank you for your work Barry!

Door inserts

Barry and Murray were great to work with. From initial communications over text months before closing right up to a few days before the install and confirming date - everything was done on schedule.

Due to builder door issues (covered under warranty), we asked Murray to come back and remove inserts from the first doors installed to the new ones. We paid a reasonable fee and very happy with the work.

Highly responsive team and experts in door inserts and installation.

Front Door Replacement Glass Windows.

We are very pleased with the windows that Barry and Dan installed in our front door. They came exactly as they said, they worked well together, and took away the old windows. The new Windows are modern giving us privacy and at the same time Warmth in the front hall as they are triple sealed. There was a very large selection to choose from on their Website. The Installation was very professional and they answered any questions we asked. We recommend Barry and Dan to replace windows as we are extremely satisfied.

Glass door/transom insert

Dealing with Barry from WHAT A PANE was anything but a PANE.
The product/installation and even price was PANEless. True you get what you pay for but when it’s everything you wanted it’s PANEless
The tree of life is as beautiful inside as it is out - Thank Q

PS Inst by Tim was both clean and efficient

Blinds Between Glass Window in Doors

Our house came with clear front door windows. There was an ugly frost we found to cover them up, but we wanted a way to see who was at the front door and have privacy. I did some research online and this company came up. I uploaded some photos, measured the glass within the existing door and I had a response within the hour and a price. They came the same week and installed blinds within two glass pane windows at our front door and our rear patio door. In addition , they completed it in an hour. They were friendly, covid safe and neat.

Highly recommend them.

Wrought Iron glass inserts

We had What A Pane change out our plain glass door inserts for the Zen model of wrought iron and frosted glass. They were quick to respond, quick to come and do the job and efficient in their work. They were professional and made great suggestions. The doors look beautiful! We love them and once the builder paints them black in the spring they will look even better!

Front, Rear Doors & Sidelights - Awesome!

This company was recommended to us by a friend. We has a look at that job and being suitably impressed, contacted them to do our two doors and sidelights.
Everything was done via e-mail and communication was excellent. Their website showed a great variety of different products and we were easily able to make our selections. An estimate was provided and a work date given.
Installation was done quickly and efficiently and our installer was a real gentleman. Due to unforeseen complications with the sidelights a work around had to be devised and was installed a couple of weeks later, exceeding our expectations. Everything looks like brand new very professionally installed.
We are delighted with the outcome, with no mess, no fuss, great communication, and very professionally installed cut outs, handles, and sidelights.
I highly recommend What A Pane Inc. You get great work, great people, and great doors, at a fraction of the cost of a new door. Family, friends, and neighbours all thought we got new doors and were amazed that they were our originals, upgraded by What A Pane!

Hi John, Your existing sidelights could not be removed because of the exterior aluminum cladding, hence the workaround with new panels and trim installed on the interior.
Glad we could accommodate your requirements and thanks for the glowing review!
