The momentum from FenCon 2025 is still going strong, and SILEX is proud to have been part of such an impactful event. As long-time supporters of Fenestration Canada, we continue to be inspired by the collaborative spirit and forward-thinking energy that defines this community.
One of the most pressing topics at FenCon 2025 was the ongoing US/Canadian Trade War. As reported by Martin Cash in the Winnipeg Free Press, window manufacturers in Canada have managed to avoid the worst impacts so far — but uncertainty remains high.
This year’s conference brought together leaders from across the window and door industry to share knowledge, tackle challenges, and explore new opportunities — all with the shared goal of advancing Canadian fenestration.
