Peeling paint leads to costly damage

Once paint cracks and pulls away from the trim, rainwater seeps into the wood underneath. In this area, where autumn and winter bring weeks of steady drizzle, trapped moisture fuels rot that spreads behind the siding. By the time dark stains or soft spots appear, the framing underneath may already need repair.

Beyond protection, aluminum capping enhances aging trim with clean lines that withstand coastal salt air and UV exposure. It also seals gaps where drafts and insects enter, resulting in lower heating bills and fewer pests.

Durable Trim Solutions

Painted wood trim around windows and doors looks great when it’s new. However, Vancouver’s wet climate causes peeling and rot after just a few seasons. Repainting is a constant chore that never really ends. There’s a better way to protect your home’s exterior trim for good.

We measure each window and door opening, then bend heavy-gauge aluminum to match the trim profile exactly. The capping goes over the wood, forming a watertight shield. This window and door capping in Vancouver never needs paint, won’t rot, and keeps moisture out for decades.

Importance for Dunbar-Southlands

Dunbar-Southlands has many character homes where original wood trim has faced decades of rain and coastal moisture. The tall trees and shaded lots mean trim stays damp longer, which speeds up rot. Protecting these details is key to keeping curb appeal high.

Many homes here have wide window casings and custom door frames that need exact-fit capping to keep their charm. Our installers know the local housing stock and make sure the aluminum matches the original profile. In Dunbar-Southlands, this means a clean, maintenance-free exterior that stands up to the wet climate.

Capping Installation Process

We use heavy-gauge aluminum coil with a baked PVDF finish. This finish resists salt air, rain, and UV light much better than regular paint. Our portable brake allows installers to shape each capping piece on site. This helps us match the multi-plane trim profiles found in Dunbar-Southlands homes, like deep brickmould surrounds and layered sill nosing.

We overlap joints generously and use marine-grade sealant before fastening with stainless steel, gasketed screws. Every sill cap is pitched outward and ends with a drip edge. This design helps ensure water flows away from the siding immediately.

Managing Moisture in Dunbar

Capping protects wood trim by creating a water-shedding barrier that works with the home’s drainage system. The capping’s return leg goes behind the siding and overlaps the building paper. This directs any moisture that gets behind the cladding to the outside.

The head trim overlaps the side capping, and sill sections fit under the side flanges. This setup prevents wind-driven rain from getting in. Small weep slots at the sill base let any condensation drain out, keeping the wall cavity dry during Dunbar’s long rainy seasons.
