Petrolia is a historic town in Lambton County, known as the birthplace of Canada's oil industry. The town features stunning Victorian architecture along its main street, a beautifully restored Victoria Hall Theatre, and heritage homes built during the oil boom that give Petrolia a unique architectural richness.
Petrolia's Lambton County location brings cold winters influenced by nearby Lake Huron and Lake St. Clair, with temperatures regularly falling below -15C and lake-effect snow adding to winter accumulations.
Petrolia's magnificent Victorian homes are a treasure worth preserving, but their original windows are major energy wasters. The town's proximity to Lake Huron adds lake-effect cold to already harsh winters. Custom-profile triple-pane windows that replicate Victorian details while providing modern insulation are the ideal solution.

Our Victorian home on Petrolia's main street had stunning original windows that were completely failing. Panes created perfect replicas in modern triple-pane glass that preserve the oil-town heritage while keeping us warm. Extraordinary craftsmanship. — Margaret R., Petrolia Downtown
