Choosing the right materials is one of the most important parts of any renovation. But it’s not always easy to know what products will work best in Edmonton’s climate and will continue to perform over time.
That’s where experience makes a difference. Over the last 16 years, we’ve learned which products hold up, which suppliers stand behind their work, and which materials still feel right years after the project is done.
Lately, more of our clients have been asking about Canadian-made materials. We get it, we look for them too. Whenever we can, we work with local, Edmonton partners and Canadian manufacturers whose products we have come to trust, time and time again.
In this post, we’re sharing a few of those Canadian made products, and the local partners and suppliers we work with to install them.
LUX Windows & Doors: Built for Canadian Weather
Our clients wanted to completely reimagine the front of their home – improving performance, curb appeal, and protection from Edmonton’s erratic weather. Lux Windows & Doors, made in Calgary, helped us bring that vision to life.
We replaced the outdated, undersized windows with high-performance Lux windows that meet egress codes and elevate the look and feel of the home’s exterior. These premium products offer the durability, detail, and design versatility we look for in every project.
Paired with custom Hardie siding choices and a new roof structure, these windows and the new Lux front door helped transform this dated exterior into a clean, modern space that’s built to last.

Riobel Faucets: Subtle Luxury That Elevates Everyday Life
In this custom Grange kitchen renovation, the homeowner was looking for better flow, more storage, and a brighter, upgraded space. We added a larger island, reworked the cabinetry layout, and added subtle design details, like the Riobel faucet, to enhance performance and style.
While a kitchen faucet isn’t the flashiest feature, it is something you use every day. That’s why we use Riobel, a Canadian brand known for high-quality, modern plumbing fixtures that last for a long time. These faucets are designed and assembled in Quebec and sourced locally through Best Plumbing & Lighting. The faucet brings a clean, streamlined feel to this premium kitchen.

TruNorth Decking: Canadian-Made for Outdoor Living
While we haven’t featured TruNorth Decking in a completed project yet, it’s a product we’re excited to use in upcoming outdoor builds (stay tuned!). It’s manufactured in Ontario and offers PVC and composite deck boards that are designed to withstand the elements.
We source TruNorth through Everything Exterior here in Edmonton. If you’re looking to upgrade your outdoor space with a low maintenance, durable, and visually clean deck, it’s a product worth considering.
