Nearly four decades of keeping buildings sealed tight
Your Partner in Building Solutions
Western Canada’s building envelope supplier to the contractors, glaziers, applicators and architects who build BC and Alberta.
From glazing tape to complete building envelope solutions
Cascade Aqua-Tech opened its doors in 1987 supplying high-performance glazing tapes to window manufacturers. As our customers’ projects grew, so did we, adding sealants, waterproofing membranes, coatings, air barriers, firestopping and architectural hardware, one trusted brand at a time.
We’re a supplier, not a contractor. That distinction matters: we’re not bidding on your job or competing with you for the work, we’re stocking the shelf so you can get on with it. Today we operate six branches across British Columbia and Alberta, stocking 44+ leading manufacturers, often several competing lines for the same application, so the product our specialists recommend is the right one for your job, not just the only one we happen to carry.
What hasn’t changed since 1987 is how we work: personal attention, straight answers, and in-house product specialists who help you get the right product the first time.
1987 → today.
From a tape supplier to Western Canada’s building envelope partner.
Trusted brands, one supplier
Giving back, year after year
Every year, Cascade Aqua-Tech holds golf tournaments across BC and Alberta to raise money for local charities, together they bring in tens of thousands of dollars annually for causes close to our branches.
We’re proud to have supported:
- West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation
- Habitat for Humanity
- Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids
- The Heartland Agency
Beyond the tournaments, we hold customer appreciation events every year, because the people who build with us are part of our community too.
What makes us different
- A supplier, never your competitorWe stock the products. You do the work. We’re never bidding against you for the job.
- Competing brands, honest answersWe carry competing lines side by side, so our specialists recommend the right product, not just the only one on the shelf.
- Six branches, one standard of serviceStock transfers between branches, so the product you need is never far, by the unit, case or pallet.
- A person answers the phoneCall your branch and talk to someone who knows the products and your job, not a call centre.
