Weather Shield to discontinue vinyl windows and doors from its offerings
Weather Shield Windows & Doors announced its intent to exit production and sales of vinyl windows and doors. This change is part of a corporate initiative to focus Weather Shield’s attention on the luxury window and door markets. “This decision is a natural next step in our strategy to position the business toward the premium segments of the market”, said Robert Foote, President of Weather Shield Windows & Doors. “Our new VUE Collection all-aluminum product, along with our wood clad product lines, represent the product portfolio best suited to pursue the growing high-end of the market.” With this announcement Weather Shield will be eliminating its Visions brand of vinyl windows and doors.
Weather Shield has been actively expanding capacity of non-vinyl products, including a new product line in Park Falls, WI and the expansion of wood clad production in Ladysmith, WI. Exiting vinyl will allow production employees at Ladysmith to transition to clad production and fully staff those lines for increased output. The market for premium window and door products remains exceptionally strong. This refocusing of resources will help position Weather Shield for future growth and improve our overall performance to our customers.
Founded in 1955 and headquartered in Medford, WI, Weather Shield is a familyowned, leading window and door manufacture with multiple manufacturing locations in Northern Wisconsin. A focus on innovative and flexible solutions clearly distinguishes Weather Shield from other window and door companies. It’s what drives Weather Shield to design, engineer and manufacture the highest quality, most energy efficient products possible. Weather Shield products are distributed nationwide through a network of independent dealers.
