Great North Windows & Doors: Your Muskoka Window and Door Specialists
​
Family-owned and operated, Great North Windows & Doors (GNWD) has been helping Muskoka cottagers and homeowners with their door and window needs since 2017.
That family? Meet Ken and Sharon Kussen who, along with sons Brad and Jeff, operate their leading Muskoka windows and doors company out of their showroom on Ecclestone Drive, Bracebridge.
While Ken brings extensive expertise in windows and doors – experience he gained while managing one of Ontario’s premium door companies – both Brad and Jeff add valuable industry experience to the venture. Jeff’s post-secondary education in construction engineering technology and Brad's background in business management and accounting have also served the business well, ensuring every facet of this family-run enterprise, from its high-end products to client satisfaction, gets the attention needed to ensure continued success.
Cottage Country’s Best Windows and Doors
​
The Kussen family’s combined experience and extensive knowledge of the industry has certainly served the business well, enabling them to better understand just what it takes to sell and install quality window and door products.
Those products include the best in the industry, including leading brands Weather Shield, MasterGrain, Strassburger, KV Custom Windows & Doors, and their flagship product line, Marvin Windows and Doors.
“When an opportunity presented itself to partner with Marvin – which is arguably the world’s top window and door manufacturer – we knew we had to commit,” Ken told Dockside Magazine recently. “They’re a big company, but one that’s run by people who care deeply about the quality of the products they’re making.”
Great North Windows & Doors Success
In addition to working with the top-of-the-line window manufacturers, the key to Great North Windows & Doors’ success has been their ability work together as a team.
Together with dedicated staff members Grant Eckenswiller and Mitchell Taylor, the GNWD team have worked hard to ensure their professionalism, extensive knowledge, and endless enthusiasm provides the utmost in customer service and satisfaction.
And with over 65 years of combined industry experience working closely with homeowners, architects, and builders to obtain the perfect window and door solution, you know you’re in good hands.
Top Quality and Great Expectations
​
The GNWD team are especially proud of their connection with Marvin Canada. As Ken told Dockside: “They’ve been around since 1913, and they’re still run by the Marvin family. They’re still based in a small town, but they have over $1 billion in annual sales and 5,500 employees worldwide.”
As Ken says, Marvin’s windows and doors are designed for unprecedented performance and exceptional aesthetics, with a large product portfolio that offers everything from industry-leading sizes, innovative window solutions, and virtually endless style options. They’re also crafted with the highest quality materials, giving GNWD the ability to “mix-and-match” across product lines to achieve the right form and function for the needs of their clients.
​
"We strive to take our customers' vision and transform it into reality with the goal of exceeding their expectations," says Ken. "We share a common philosophy with Marvin: Do what's right. When you do the right thing, the rest falls into place."
