Why Supporting Canadian-Made Windows and Doors Matters More Than Ever

Buying local isn’t just a trend—it’s a meaningful investment in our communities, our economy and our future. At Oriel Windows & Doors, we’re proud to work with trusted Canadian suppliers like All Weather at Home, a company that shares our commitment to exceptional quality, family values and local manufacturing. Choosing Canadian-made windows and doors supports more than just great craftsmanship—it helps build stronger neighbourhoods and resilient local economies. 

When you choose windows and doors from Canadian companies, you’re keeping money right here at home. That means more jobs for local workers, more opportunities for regional manufacturers and more tax dollars invested in the communities we live in. It also means fewer transportation emissions and faster turnaround times—especially important in today’s unpredictable global supply chain environment. 

Our Trusted Supplier: All Weather at Home 

We proudly source many of our products through All Weather at Home, one of Canada’s leading window and door manufacturers. Known for their durability, energy efficiency and beautifully crafted designs, All Weather at Home products are built specifically for Canadian homes and climate zones. These aren’t mass-produced imports—they’re precision-made for the seasons we know all too well. 

Choosing a local manufacturer like All Weather means you get products that can stand up to Canadian winters, wild weather swings and energy-efficiency expectations. Their selection of Energy Star® certified windows and doors helps reduce heating and cooling costs year-round while meeting or exceeding federal energy performance guidelines. Supporting them also means supporting hundreds of Canadian jobs—from designers and technicians to delivery drivers and installers. 

Windows and Doors That Keep the Community Strong 

Investing in high-performance, Canadian-made windows and doors benefits homeowners directly, too. Quality products reduce drafts, lower monthly energy bills and improve year-round comfort. With energy efficiency top of mind for many homeowners, upgrading to triple-glazed or Low-E coated windows can make a major difference—especially when you work with a local installer who understands the climate and building codes in your area. 

According to Natural Resources Canada, improving your windows and doors is one of the most effective ways to increase your home’s energy efficiency. Products that meet Canadian performance standards often go beyond basic expectations, offering longer lifespans, stronger materials and better warranties. Plus, when you purchase from Oriel, you’re also backed by expert local installation and service support. 

Microeconomies Matter: Why Local Choices Have Big Impact 

There’s growing awareness about the impact of microeconomies—the small, localized economic networks that keep money circulating close to home. Every time you choose a local business over a big-box store or imported brand, you help strengthen this economic web. At Oriel Windows & Doors, we see the difference every day. Our customers are friends, neighbours and fellow Albertans. Supporting each other makes us all more resilient. 

As the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters Association explains, prioritizing Canadian-made products plays a vital role in rebuilding and strengthening our economy post-pandemic. It ensures we remain competitive, self-reliant and supportive of innovation right here in our own backyard.
