Expert Masonry Window Openings for Residential & Commercial Properties

Why Choose Professional Window Openings in Masonry?

When you need a window opening in masonry walls, the job is far more than cutting through brick. At Red Clay Masonry, we know these walls carry loads, face constant weather exposure, and require proper support to prevent structural issues. Poorly done openings can cause water leaks, heat loss, cracking and unattractive finishes.

In contrast, a professionally executed masonry opening for windows from Red Clay Masonry ensures:

• The structural integrity of the wall is maintained or improved.
  
• Proper support (lintels or engineered beams) is placed above the opening.
  
• Flashing, sealants and drainage details are correctly installed to prevent leaks or freeze-thaw damage.
  
• The finished opening is square, clean and ready for the window installation.
  In Ontario’s changing weather and colder climate, quality matters—and selecting a trusted masonry contractor for brick window opening services is the smart choice.
