Starting a construction products wish list for 🇨🇦gov (will probably be a thread): Get us a better pipeline for Knauf batt insulation (German) vs Owens Corning or Johnson-Manville. We can’t get Knauf Eco-Batt anymore.

But it would be great to have a list of made-in-canada building products...

klad.caFinex – Klad Surfaces

We use a lot of James Hardie fire cement siding. CanCon options? klad.ca/portfolio/fi...

“Fibre cement” Other options include Nichiha (Japan) or Woodtone (Chilliwack BC), Finex (Kelwona BC)

Another challenge is Soprema (Ohio) maker of blue skin membranes and insulation. Euro Alternatives we use: Siga and Proclima

Many Canadian window manufacturers use glazing units from Cardinal Glass (MN). Euro windows often use Saint Gobain. Lite-Zone is Canadian. Other IGU mfr?
