VICTORIA – Since 1978, Van Isle Windows Ltd. has played an integral part in the renovation and new construction industries. Selling to Vancouver Island and Gulf Island customers, Van Isle Windows’ business consists of residential family home replacement and new construction, including multi-unit buildings. They’re an industry staple on the Island.
“In the early days, Van Isle manufactured single glazed aluminum windows,” explains General Manager Linda Gourlay, who joined the company in 2010. “Today, we are the largest custom vinyl window and patio door manufacturing plant on Vancouver Island, and when customers want it, installation services too. We operate out of a 35,000 square foot state-of-the art factory and are in the unique position to not only deliver locally-built custom made windows and patio doors, but also provide efficient and timely customer service.”
Having been in business for 43 years, Van Isle has both the experience and knowledge customers desire, with employees well versed and educated on all of the features and benefits of their products. The Van Isle team makes a point of providing clients with thoughtful, clear information that allows them to make the optimal buying decision.
“Purchasing windows is one of the largest investments for a homeowner,” notes Linda. “We do our very best to provide our customers with meaningful information and an exceptional customer experience from start to finish so they can feel confident their money has been well-spent.”
As General Manager, Linda oversees the entire operation of the company island-wide, working with managers and employees to provide the quality service customers have come to expect, and enact changes that have helped Van Isle Windows thrive.
“Recently, we successfully launched the most efficient ENERGY STAR® windows on the market today. This was a significant investment, but has allowed us to remain competitive and maintain our ENERGY STAR® ratings in all our product lines.”
Their willingness to take big steps has paid off over the years, with Van Isle growing steadily by almost 50 per cent since 2015. This has given them valuable opportunities to invest in manufacturing equipment and technology to meet growing demands.
Concludes Linda, “Everything we do is expertly manufactured to meet the demands of our west coast climate and our valued customers. It’s fair to say, we are your Island Window Factory.”
