Exports of Doors/Windows/Frames and Automatic Door Closures

Statistics Canada reports exports of doors/windows/frames for Q3 2017 ($213 million) were slightly lower than in Q2 but well ahead of levels seen in Q1 2017 and Q4 2016 and that the vast majority of sales were to the US. Exports of automatic door closures in Q3 2017 ($406 thousand) were substantially above levels in the previous three quarters. 2017 year-to-date exports of doors/windows/frames ($704 million) indicate that the final 2017 export volume will, we believe, likely equal 2016's $748 million. Year-to-date levels are well above the final year totals for the period 2014-2015. Automatic Door closure exports for 2017 to date ($1.1 million) are about one third of 2016 levels but slightly above levels for 2014-2015. See the data here.
