All Weather Windows grows with
production capacity, product choices and
residential and commercial client service
CANADA'S Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature
From a 10,000 sq. ft. facility opened in 1978, All Weather
Windows has grown to the 238,000 sq. ft. manufacturing
plant it now operates in Edmonton as its head office, along
with two other leading edge manufacturing plants, nine
branches, two commercial offices and more than 1,000
dealers across the country.

Marketing director Tracy Nadiger says that as All
Weather grew, it also expanded its capabilities, first moving
into commercial offerings and then acquiring complemen-
tary companies.

“We purchased Canadian Insulated Glass, a supplier of
sealed units and tempered glass in 2015, and later pur-
chased the assets of Alta Windows, a small residential win-
dow manufacturer, which we rebranded as Quick Fit
Windows to serve smaller contractors as well as the home
builder segment.”
The company has also developed several unique sys-
tems to better support its clientele. She says for instance
that All Weather implemented a unique delivery service for
local builder clients. “Their sites stay neat and clean by hav-
ing the windows and doors delivered in a crate, and timing
30 – June 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report
is co-ordinated by the customer and dropped directly on
site.” Climate change awareness and an understanding of
consumer’s demand for more energy efficient product has
influenced the company’s product lines, resulting in more
tri-pane options as an example. “Our products are driven
by innovation and research, but also by influences in hous-
ing trends and styles, which means doors and windows
have also become a statement of style vs. just being func-
tional.” To that end, All Weather is working with a unique colour
technology that allows for an acrylic coloured foil to be per-
manently bonded to PVC windows. Nadiger says the bond
is more durable than paint with a 10-year warranty and
some of the colour options are also available on the inside
of the window, allowing homeowners to include their win-
dows in the overall colour design of their home.

She says the company is always developing new prod-
ucts to meet client demand. Some of All Weather’s new
products include the Horizon 7100 Energy Star Certified
triple pane slider window with grille options for residential
customers and a new line of clean and contemporary doors
reflecting more modern design trends.
