Dundas is a charming valley town nestled at the western end of the Niagara Escarpment within the City of Hamilton. Known for its stunning waterfalls including Webster's Falls and Tews Falls, the community features a vibrant King Street downtown, heritage residential streets, and the beautiful Dundas Valley Conservation Area.
Dundas sits in a deep valley at the head of the Niagara Escarpment, creating a sheltered microclimate that traps cold air in winter while surrounding escarpment slopes funnel gusty winds through the community.
Dundas Valley's unique geography creates cold air pooling in winter that makes heritage homes particularly uncomfortable. Many properties along King Street and the surrounding residential areas have original windows from the late 1800s to mid-1900s. Energy-efficient replacements that respect heritage profiles deliver dramatic comfort improvements.
Webster's Falls and the Dundas Peak
Our century home on King Street in Dundas was beautiful but freezing in winter. Panes made custom windows that match the heritage style perfectly and have transformed our comfort level. The valley cold no longer seeps through every pane. — Philip L., Downtown Dundas
