A francophone-rooted manufacturer for a bilingual community
Orléans has long been one of the strongest francophone communities in the Ottawa area, and many households switch between French and English every day. As a Québec-based manufacturer, we work comfortably in both. Your advisor, your quote and your installation crew can all operate in French, or in English, or in a mix of the two.
That matters more than it sounds. Choosing glass packages, frame colours and opening styles involves plenty of detail, and it is easier to make good decisions when nothing gets lost in translation.
Why so many Orléans homes are due for new windows
Much of Orléans grew in waves of subdivisions from the 1970s through the 2000s, in neighbourhoods such as Chapel Hill, Fallingbrook and Avalon. Windows from those decades were often basic double-glazed units, and after twenty to forty years their seals, hardware and weatherstripping are reaching the end of their useful life.
If you notice any of the signs below, a free in-home assessment will tell you whether a full replacement makes sense or whether a few units can wait.
- Fog or moisture trapped between the panes
- Casement cranks that slip or strip
- Sliders that stick or let in a draft along the track
- Frost building up on the inside of the glass in January
- Faded or chalky exterior frames facing south or west
The backyard door: slider or garden door?
Most Orléans homes open onto a deck or patio through a sliding door that sees heavy daily use from spring to fall. Over time the rollers wear, the track fills with grit and the seal around the fixed panel lets winter air in. Replacing it is one of the most noticeable upgrades you can make.
We build sliding patio doors to your exact opening, and we also offer hinged garden doors for homeowners who want a wider, more traditional swing. At the front of the house, our steel and fiberglass entry doors can be paired with sidelites to brighten a dark foyer.
From our factory to your street, step by step
Orléans sits on the eastern side of the capital, the part of the Ottawa area closest to our Saint-Laurent factory. That makes coordination straightforward: we measure, manufacture and schedule delivery and installation as one continuous project.
Here is what to expect once you request your free estimate.
- A home visit to measure every opening and discuss styles such as casement, sliders or picture windows
- A written quote with no obligation
- Made-to-measure production in our own plant
- Installation, finishing and cleanup by Unisson crews
- Financing available if you prefer to spread the cost

Orléans Windows & Doors — FAQ
Can I deal with you entirely in French?
Yes. From the first call to the final inspection, our team can serve you in French, and your documents can be prepared in French as well. English service is just as available if other members of your household prefer it.
My home was built in the 1990s. Is it too early to replace the windows?
Not necessarily. Many builder-installed units from that era are now showing failed seals or worn hardware. Our free visit checks each window individually so you only replace what actually needs it.
Can you replace just the patio door?
Yes. A single patio door or entry door is a common project on its own, and we build it to measure just like a full-house order. Many Orléans clients start with the door and plan windows for later.
Do you install in Orléans during winter?
We install year-round and plan cold-weather jobs so only one opening is exposed at a time. Rooms are closed up quickly, and the crew seals and insulates each new unit before moving to the next.
