Yes, 1970s Bramalea (L6T) and 1980s Heart Lake (L6Z) housing stock sealed units (IGUs) are reaching end of life.

Yes, niche premium revenue. Downtown Brampton (L6V) Four Corners 1850s commercial HCA requires windows to match original profile, muntins, glass appearance. Quote HCA-approved replacement at premium (CAD $2,200 to $6,500 per window) with custom-milled muntin profiles. Heritage consultant ($2,200 to $9,000 per project) drives approval timeline 8 to 16 weeks.
Brampton's 50 to 70 freeze-thaw cycles per year drive sealed-unit (IGU) failures (fogging, condensation between panes) on 1970s Bramalea and 1980s Heart Lake stock. Quote per-IGU replacement (CAD $350 to $1,300 per sash including labour) and full-window replacement (CAD $1,000 to $4,000 per window) as separate scopes.

Hourly rates are $55 to $110 in the US, £30-75 in the UK, A$70-140 in Australia, R220-600 in South Africa, and C$55-115 in Canada. Most glaziers quote per pane or per square metre rather than hourly because glass cost dominates the bill.
Standard 4mm float glass in a sound frame is $180-420 per pane installed. Larger panes, double-glazed units, or laminated safety glass run $400-1,500. The variables: glass type, pane size, frame condition, and access.
For jobs over $500, get 2-3 quotes. Compare glass spec (thickness, grade, coating), frame work scope, and warranty. The cheapest quote often substitutes lower-grade glass or skips the frame inspection.
Double-glazed units have two panes of glass with argon gas and a desiccant seal between them, plus a low-E coating. Manufacturing cost is 3-5x single pane. The payback: 20-40% energy savings on heating and cooling over 10-15 years.
Code requires safety glass (toughened or laminated) in doors, sidelights within 300mm of a door, wet areas (shower, bathroom), and any panel below 1m from floor. Outside those locations, regular float glass is legal but less safe.
