What Dynamic Fenestration does

Dynamic Fenestration is a Canadian family-owned manufacturer of custom architectural windows and doors, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, and installs bespoke fenestration systems across four primary material families: Arte Metal (bronze, stainless steel, aluminum), natural Wood, Wood-Clad (wood interiors with bronze or aluminum exterior cladding), and Thermally Broken Aluminum (including integrated Reynaers systems). Core engineering capabilities center on thermal break technology, minimal sightline design, and acoustic performance systems engineered for Sound Transmission Class (STC) and Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class (OITC) compliance, supported by an interactive 3D product configurator with Revit integration.

The company operates a Navigator-led go-to-market model in which embedded project partners engage architects, builders, and developers during the design phase rather than at procurement, functioning as design-assist consultants who resolve aesthetic–performance trade-offs before drawings are fixed. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers, reflecting project-driven custom work rather than a catalog model. Revenue streams derive from custom architectural fenestration product sales, full installation services, and design-assist consulting, all delivered through a factory-direct model that maintains single-partner accountability from concept through installation.

Dynamic Fenestration primarily serves luxury residential projects alongside select commercial and hospitality developments, with documented work alongside firms including Olson Kundig Architects, Clayton Korte, Smitharc Architects, and Walton Architecture, and contractors such as Redhorse Constructors and Loverde Builders. The company serves both North American clients (Canada and the United States) and, since late 2025, GCC markets including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, where it is pursuing mega-projects such as NEOM and Dubai luxury developments.
