By combining a passion for the industry with a customer first philosophy, our partners have been able to guide All Weather Windows from a single 10,000 square foot facility to become Canada’s largest privately owned window and door manufacturer. Starting in 1978 with just 9 employees, founders Harry Buhler, Gord Wiebe, and Henry Banman, grew their business through honesty, integrity, hard work, and building a reputation one customer at a time. After just two years, the company had already outgrown their first plant and relocated to a larger 35,000 square foot manufacturing facility to accommodate the increasing sales. Quickly establishing a name for themselves through quality products and excellent customer service, All Weather Windows made tremendous inroads with building supply dealers and contractors. So much so, that by 1982 the company opened their first branch office in Winnipeg, followed by a second in Saskatoon in 1984. In 1985, after just 7 years of operations, the company now had 50 employees and moved to a new head office in Edmonton. The rapid grown continued unabated, and by 1988, sales had increased ten-fold since the first year of operations. That same year a Calgary branch office opened, helping solidify All Weather Windows status as the premier window and door supplier in the Alberta market. Having established a proven track record in the province, the company began to expand westward, penetrating the B.C. market with a Vancouver branch office in 1991. After years of research and development, in 2009 All Weather Windows was proud to be one of the first manufacturers in North America to introduce a revolutionary technology called V-weld. With this new technology, the window joints are welded together, virtually eliminating any air or water leaks. The loyalty, hard work, and dedication of All Weather Windows’ staff, combined with the commitment of their customers, continues to make them Canada’s window and door provider of choice.
