Loewen Windows

Loewen Windows is a privately owned manufacturer established in 1905 in Manitoba, Canada. Loewen is Canada's largest wood window manufacturer. Loewen Windows are produced in their state-of-the-art 425,000 square foot plant in Steinbach, Manitoba and all windows are made out of West Coast Douglas Fir. Why Fir, when others offer pine? Douglas Fir, the hardest of the softwoods, provides strength, durability and beauty. Its natural resistance to decay, superior fastener retention and exceptional milling characteristics make it the perfect choice for window construction. Most manufacturers of Fir windows charge 50% (or more) than manufacturers of pine windows. However, due to the strength of the American dollar compared to the Canadian dollar, coupled with the advantages of NAFTA, we can sell a more expensive Douglas Fir window for about the same price as a premium high quality pine window. The advantages of Fir together with Loewen's precision engineering and European influenced craftsmanship create premium value.

We got them for about the same price as pella or anderson I believe they are a step up in quality. I actually recall the Loewen quote was slightly less than Anderson.

That was 5 years ago though.
With the canadian $ on a rampage recently, maybe I got a great bargain.
