Moisture seeps into wood, causing decay that weakens the frame. Left unchecked, it leads to drafts and rising energy costs in this area’s damp climate.
Aluminum capping protects your frames from UV fading and salt air corrosion. It provides a clean, uniform finish that stays maintenance-free for years.

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.
Capping Noise and Permit Regulations
The City of Richmond’s Noise Regulation Bylaw No. 8856 limits construction noise to 85 dBA measured 15.2 meters from the source. For window and door capping on Terra Nova homes, work can only happen during set hours: Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday or holidays 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The City’s Good Neighbour Program reinforces these rules to reduce disruption to neighbours.
The City of Richmond requires building permits for certain changes, which may include replacing or modifying window and door assemblies and their capping. Homeowners should check with Richmond Building Approvals to confirm if a permit is needed for their Terra Nova project.
We recently worked on a project at a school in Terra Nova. The campus had several buildings with old wood trim around windows and doors that was rotting. This allowed moisture to enter, which could cause more damage. We capped each opening with custom aluminum. We did the work building by building, making sure to fit around their school day. We coordinated with their site lead to keep the grounds secure. Now, the buildings are dry, the wood is protected, and the staff no longer worry about peeling paint or water damage.
Community Connections
We often do window and door capping in Terra Nova. We usually take Granville Street across the Arthur Laing Bridge, pass Richmond City Centre, and arrive at your home in about 25 to 35 minutes. When we need supplies, we shop at local hardware and building supply stores like Richmond Building Supplies and B.C. Brick Supplies Ltd. This helps support businesses in our community.
Window and door capping in Terra Nova protects wood frames from the damp climate that causes rot and peeling paint. We custom-bend aluminum on-site, using.024-gauge for windows and thicker.032 for doors and areas exposed to wind. The aluminum has a PVDF coating and sloped sills to help water run off. The capping serves as a rain screen and connects to the home’s moisture barrier, with all joints sealed against moisture. In Terra Nova, Richmond’s noise bylaw limits work to certain hours, and a building permit may be needed for modifications. Costs range from about CAD 800 for standard aluminum to CAD 16,000 for architectural copper, depending on the material and profile. We can reach your Terra Nova home in 25 to 35 minutes.
