OTTAWA, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 29, 2025 / In a city known for its vibrant seasons and deep community roots, Verdun Windows is proving that true craftsmanship and environmental stewardship can go hand-in-hand. With over 40 years of experience manufacturing windows right here in Ottawa, Verdun is now leading the way toward a greener future-one window, one tree, and one home at a time.
Today, Verdun Windows is proud to highlight a series of major initiatives that go beyond high-performance products: a commitment to planting a tree for every window sold, an ongoing electrification of their service fleet, and a promise to deliver energy-efficient solutions specifically designed for the unique demands of the Canadian climate. It's not just about improving homes-it's about making Ottawa a better place to live, now and for generations to come.
Growing More Than Homes: Tree Planting Initiative
Verdun's promise is simple but powerful: for every window they sell, they plant a tree. This program is more than a marketing effort-it's a tangible investment in the health and future of Ottawa's natural environment. Every tree planted helps to offset carbon emissions, enhance local biodiversity, and contribute to cleaner air and healthier neighborhoods.
"At Verdun, we know that the work we do impacts more than just individual homes-it impacts entire communities," said a company spokesperson. "Planting trees for every window we sell is our way of giving back and ensuring that as we grow, our environment grows with us."
In an era when many companies talk about sustainability, Verdun is taking concrete action, integrating environmental responsibility into their core business practices. The initiative has already resulted in thousands of trees being planted, helping to rebuild urban canopies and natural spaces throughout the region.
Driving Toward a Cleaner Future: Fleet Electrification
Verdun Windows' commitment to sustainability doesn't stop at their products. Recognizing the importance of reducing emissions across operations, Verdun has begun transitioning its service vehicles to an electrified fleet. By replacing traditional gas-powered vehicles with electric models, the company is significantly lowering its carbon footprint-helping to keep Ottawa's skies clearer and its future brighter.
"Our work takes us into neighborhoods across the region every day. Electrifying our fleet is about making sure that every kilometer we drive is better for the environment," the spokesperson added. "It's another step in living up to our responsibility as a local business that cares deeply about the community it serves."
The shift to electric vehicles complements Verdun's other sustainability initiatives, reinforcing the company's commitment to environmental leadership in an industry often slow to change.
Innovation You Can Feel: Locally Made, Award-Winning Windows
For over four decades, Verdun has been doing something most companies no longer do: building every window in-house at their Ottawa manufacturing facility. This local production not only supports skilled jobs and strengthens the local economy, it also allows Verdun to maintain exceptional quality control and tailor their products to Ottawa's specific climate challenges.
Unlike competitors who import components from outside Ontario-or even outside Canada-Verdun proudly manufactures every window locally, ensuring products that can stand up to freezing winters, humid summers, and everything in between.
A key example of their innovation is Verdun's proprietary RevoCell™ window line, made with advanced microcellular PVC (mPVC) technology. With a dense, foam-core structure, RevoCell™ windows offer superior thermal insulation, strength, and durability compared to conventional materials. This breakthrough technology significantly reduces heating and cooling costs for homeowners, while extending the life of the windows themselves.
Verdun's manufacturing excellence has not gone unnoticed. The company's manufacturing division was awarded the prestigious ENERGY STAR® Canada Special Recognition Award in both 2023 and 2024-making them one of the few window manufacturers nationwide to achieve back-to-back honors. These awards are a testament to Verdun's leadership in energy efficiency and their forward-thinking approach to sustainable product development.
"Our windows aren't just built for today-they're built for the future," the spokesperson emphasized. "Our customers deserve products that perform at the highest level, while also helping reduce environmental impact."
Trusted People, Trusted Results
While cutting-edge products are a crucial part of Verdun's success, it's the people behind the scenes who truly make the difference. Verdun's installation teams are trained professionals who handle every project from start to finish. The dedicated crews have been working exclusively with Verdun for years-often decades.
"These aren't guys we find at the Lowe's parking lot each morning," the spokesperson said with a laugh. "Our installers are seasoned pros who take pride in their work. They know our products inside and out and treat every home as if it were their own."
By maintaining a tight-knit team of factory-trained specialists, Verdun ensures consistent workmanship, seamless installations, and service that reflects the company's high standards of quality and care.
Award-Winning Service Recognized by Homeowners
Verdun's commitment to excellence hasn't gone unnoticed by the people who matter most: their customers. In 2025, Verdun Windows was honored with the HomeStars Best of the Best award-a recognition they have earned multiple times in the past. This award highlights the company's continued leadership in customer satisfaction, workmanship, and service quality.
"To be recognized again by HomeStars means the world to us," the spokesperson shared. "It's proof that our focus on craftsmanship, honesty, and customer care is making a real difference in people's lives."
Rooted in Ottawa, Focused on the Future
As Ottawa continues to grow and evolve, Verdun Windows remains steadfast in its mission to serve the community with integrity, innovation, and environmental responsibility. Beyond tree planting and fleet electrification, the company is investing in further research and development to continue enhancing its energy-efficient product offerings.
Future plans include expanding their RevoCell™ line, launching additional sustainability initiatives, and further strengthening their local workforce. Whether building better products, improving the environment, or giving back to local charities like CHEO, Verdun's commitment to Ottawa remains unwavering.
"Everything we do is about building a stronger, greener, more resilient community," the spokesperson said. "We're not just here to sell windows-we're here to help make Ottawa the best it can be, one project at a time."
