Thermoproof Vancouver Island history

Our Origin Story

Built for Vancouver Island Conditions

Thermoproof started building windows on Vancouver Island in 1977 with a straightforward goal: manufacture systems that hold up in coastal exposure.

Salt air, wind-driven rain, and sustained moisture can shorten the service life of hardware and seals when products are specified for different climates. Over time, we saw that many off-Island window packages did not perform as well once installed in Island conditions.

That is why we manufacture locally and support projects locally. Homeowners and building professionals work with Thermoproof for clear specifications by series, predictable scheduling, and service continuity after installation.

Over the decades, we have manufactured more than 1 Million Window units for homes and projects across Vancouver Island.

Local manufacturing keeps accountability close. If you want to see how your windows are built, we welcome factory visits by appointment.
