Protect Your Windows and Doors
Peeling paint and soft wood around your windows are not just cosmetic issues—they show moisture damage that will only get worse. Our window and door capping stops this problem by sealing the original frames with a strong layer of aluminum.
The custom-bent aluminum covers the wood completely, keeping out rain and humidity. You get a clean, low-maintenance finish that never needs scraping or painting. For window and door capping in Vancouver, we make each piece on-site to fit perfectly.
Terra Nova’s location along the Fraser River means your home deals with constant dampness and fog that speed up wood rot. Capping your window and door frames here is not an upgrade—it’s necessary to keep the exterior safe.
Many older homes in the neighborhood have wood trim that rots quickly in our wet climate. Without capping, morning dew and rain soak into frames, causing warping and peeling. In Terra Nova, aluminum sheathing offers a permanent, low-maintenance shield.
Aluminum Bending and Fastening
We use on-site roll-forming to bend .024-gauge pre-finished aluminum to fit your Terra Nova window casings perfectly. For door frames and areas facing the Fraser River, we use thicker .032 aluminum. This extra thickness helps resist damage from wind and moisture.
We shape the metal with a slight slope on horizontal sills. This design helps direct water away from the frame. The trim coil has a PVDF coating that resists chalking and fading, unlike cheaper finishes that can wear out after wet winters in Metro Vancouver.
We fasten the aluminum with color-matched trim nails into solid areas of the original wood, avoiding any rotted sections. Joints are placed away from the wind and sealed with a low-profile bead of UV-stable sealant, which prevents moisture from getting trapped behind the metal.
The capping serves as a rain screen over your wood frames. It creates a barrier that stops water from soaking into the wood. In Terra Nova’s damp riverfront air, this barrier helps prevent the wet-dry cycles that can damage paint and swell wood fibers.
We connect the back leg of the capping to the home’s existing building paper or housewrap. This setup ensures that any moisture behind the metal drains out instead of into the wall. We also allow for controlled expansion at lap joints to manage the aluminum’s movement and prevent buckling or fastener failure during seasonal changes.
For door thresholds, the capping connects to a sloped sill pan that directs water away from the subfloor. By keeping the original wood frame dry, the capping helps maintain the structural integrity needed for your windows and doors to operate properly over time.
