Alumilex Window System Receives Passive House Certification

Alumilex, a Canadian aluminum window and door manufacturer headquartered in Montréal, Quebec, announced that its new ALX2090 fixed and operable window system has received Passive House component certification from the Passive House Institute (PHI).

PHI certification allows Canadian architects, contractors, and developers to specify a compliant, locally manufactured product, backed by Alumilex teams in Montréal and Toronto.

"This certification is the result of 2 years of hard work and a genuine belief that we could push our aluminum window system further than anyone expected. We're proud to be the first in Canada to get here," says Tony Cacioppo, VP, Operations and Product, Alumilex.

The ALX2090's certification covers three validated installation types: exterior insulation (EIFS/ITE), light wood frame, and wood stud construction.

Beyond thermal performance, the ALX2090 delivers energy savings and contributes to a reduced carbon footprint over the building's lifetime by significantly lowering heating and cooling energy needs. As building codes across Canada continue their trajectory toward net-zero-ready requirements, certified high-performance fenestration components are becoming essential rather than optional.
