Delhi is a small community in Norfolk County with a rich Belgian and Dutch immigrant heritage, historically the centre of Ontario's tobacco industry. The town features heritage homes from the tobacco farming era, a strong multicultural character, and a community transitioning to new agricultural opportunities.
Delhi's position in the Norfolk County agricultural plain brings cold winters influenced by Lake Erie, with temperatures dropping below -15C and periodic lake-effect weather adding snow and moisture to the winter landscape.
Delhi's tobacco-era homes were built for function rather than energy efficiency, and many retain original windows from the 1940s-60s. Norfolk County's cold winters and Lake Erie moisture make these aging windows costly energy drains. Affordable triple-pane replacements deliver immediate comfort and savings.

Our family home in Delhi dates from the tobacco farming era and had original windows. Panes replaced them with modern triple-pane units at a price that worked for our budget. The warmth improvement in winter is remarkable. — Henk V., Delhi Village
