Window capping is a cost-effective way to protect your existing windows and exterior trim—without going to the expense of a total window replacement. Window capping is having aluminum sheeting custom-fitted over the existing window frame. The aluminum sheeting is carefully cut and formed to fit flush over your exterior window framing and trim. After that, it will be caulked—vital to guaranteeing an air- and water-tight seal. Window capping eliminates annual repainting and increases the lifespan of your wooden window trim beneath.
Window capping applications and benefits
The main purpose of capping a window is to make the window more weather resistant. The capping protects the original casing from the damaging effects of wind, rain, snow, and hail. Of particular importance is the fact that window capping can effectively keep out moisture, which is crucial for preventing wood rot and water leaks in your home. By sealing off any potential leaks and drafts, window capping can also help make your home more energy-efficient.
Another common reason why homeowners choose window capping is to enhance their curb appeal. Old and worn window trim with peeling paint looks drab and will detract from your home’s exterior. Window capping can instantly update the look of your home while also reducing your future window maintenance, as it can go a lot longer than wooden casing before needing to be repainted.
