Moisture damage is a real concern

Once moisture gets behind the wood, the real trouble starts inside the wall. The frame around the window can soften and lose its grip, and that hidden decay spreads quickly in the mild, wet climate.

Capping also reduces the need for constant maintenance. Homes in this area look their best with clean, crisp lines that hold up without scraping and repainting every few seasons.

Durable Protection for Your Trim

The damp, salty air in West End is not just annoying—it speeds up wood rot around window and door frames each year. Instead of constant scraping and painting, window and door capping in Vancouver gives a lasting shield that keeps moisture away from the wood.

Our teams bend custom aluminum profiles on-site to fit every sill, casing, and brickmold perfectly. The aluminum keeps out rain and ocean spray, so your trim stays dry and strong. You won’t have to worry about blistering paint or soft spots, just a clean, maintenance-free exterior for years to come.

Essential for West End Homes

West End’s closeness to English Bay and Stanley Park means homes deal with constant salt spray and humidity that few other areas face. Wood trim here wears out faster than anywhere else in the city, making protective capping a must for West End homeowners.

Older apartment buildings and heritage houses in the area often have detailed wood trim that’s hard to replace. Capping keeps that character while adding a weatherproof layer that matches the original design. Even newer condos gain from this extra protection against the marine climate.

Aluminum Capping Installation

For homes in West End, we use heavy-gauge coil stock with a special coating that resists corrosion from salt air. The aluminum is shaped on-site using a portable brake. This ensures that each sill cap, casing wrap, and brickmold cover fits your existing trim perfectly.

We place the capping over a solid wood base, removing any damaged trim and replacing it with pressure-treated lumber. The aluminum pieces fit together at corners and seams with hemmed edges that hide fasteners and stop water from getting behind the metal.

For West End’s historic buildings, we can recreate complex profiles like ogee sills or stepped brickmold in multiple passes, keeping the original look under a strong, weatherproof layer.

Water Management Techniques

The main idea here is to create a drainage plane: water that hits the capping should flow outward and downward, avoiding the wood framing. In West End’s humid climate and frequent rain, each overlap is designed like shingles. This way, water flows off the top piece onto the one below, never into a seam.

Behind the aluminum, we keep a small air gap by not sealing the metal directly to the wood everywhere. This allows any condensation that forms on the back of the metal in cool, damp weather to dry outside instead of soaking the trim. Flashing at the top of windows and doors extends past the side casing to direct water away from the jambs.

Our fastening patterns account for the wind exposure from English Bay: screws or nails are placed in the flat part of the metal, never in the bends, and spaced closely enough to prevent flutter in gusts without breaking the drainage plane.
