Loewen Windows and Doors

Loewen Windows — Premium window and door company exclusively focused on the architectural market

Beginning in 1905, the Loewen story tells of a small lumber yard and sawmill that became the world’s leading manufacturer of luxury windows and doors.
In the early twentieth century, the Loewen lumber yard supplied building materials to the large two-story homes built in the area. When the Great Depression gripped North America, we found innovative ways to keep the business going. During those difficult years, we built beekeeping supplies, cross arms for telephone poles, and church pews.
When World War 2 ended, a housing boom created a large demand for premade windows and doors. The good reputation that already surrounded Loewen windows and doors lead to continued growth for this part of the business. By 1959, we broke ground on a new 57, 000 sq/ft plant.
Loewen continued to grow and expand throughout the 60’s, a trend that would continue for many decades. In 1972 Loewen Millwork officially separated from the lumber yard side of the business. The following year, Loewen Millwork introduced True Triple Glazing, an innovation that is still popular to this day.
