Fenstür Windows and Doors

Before the glass goes in.

A look inside our Duncan factory, where wood frames are assembled, finished and fitted with hardware.

We apply the finish before installing the glass. That lets us coat surfaces that will be hidden in the finished window, along with the edges and joints you can see.

Once the glass is installed, we adjust the operation and inspect the finished unit before packaging.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Fenstür.

To our customers, dealers, builders and the team here in Duncan—thank you. We appreciate the trust you put in us and the work we get to do together.

We hope this long weekend brings a good meal, a little time to slow down, and a house full of people you’re glad to see.

Enjoy the weekend!

Fourteen feet of glass and wood, built right here on Vancouver Island.

This lift-and-slide door is part of a complete window and door package we made for a home in the Cowichan Valley. The wood frames carry through the house, with large panes of glass keeping the views open.

Wondering how a door this size moves? Turning the handle lifts the sliding panel onto its rollers. Lowering the handle brings it back down against the seals.

Planning a home with a view worth keeping? Send us your plans—we’d love to talk through the windows and doors.
