Cascadia Windows Ltd.: Giving the World Sustainable Windows

Sustainability is an oft-used word but it can be abused by materials companies aiming for quick profits. Not so with Cascadia Windows Ltd., a company that has rightfully earned its reputation as a manufacturer of sustainable windows and doors, among other products. Its products are proof that even a small innovation can have a significant impact on energy use and environmental effect.

For its innovation in window and door technology, Cascasdia has won Vancouver Regional Construction Association’s Sustainable Construction and Innovation Award in October 2011. The award has affirmed the company’s reputation as an eco-friendly company with a breakthrough product in the form of Cascadia Clip.

Cascadia Clip, its flagship innovation, has also been named as one of the Top Ten Products for 2015 by BuildingGreen.com. It has been featured in several magazine articles in Canada and the United States including the Canadian Architect Magazine, ECOheritage, Vanglo House, and the New York Times.

The Cascadia Clip is an innovative fibreglass thermal spacer designed to separate the exterior insulated walls from the steel supports, the latter of which absorbs energy. This results in a more effective and efficient thermal bridging that doubles the efficiency of modern insulation. In layman’s terms, the building loses less heat that result in reduced energy consumption without compromising the comfort of the people within its confines.

Cascadia’s patented thermal spacer is quickly becoming the standard material form eco-friendly windows and doors in the construction industry. The use of the clip contributes toward earning points for LEED designation.

The company continues to find innovative responses in dealing with emerging issues related to the construction industry and the environment particularly in providing for sustainable products and services. Cascadia Windows Ltd. is a company that strives to remain true to its vision of providing consumers with truly sustainable products and, in the process, provide its investors, owners and employees sustainable income.
