Eco-conscious design meets long-lasting performance in our Summer 2025 issue, where Vipeq West takes the spotlight for transforming exterior finishes with sustainably harvested cork. For more than a decade, the Calgary-based team has offered Alberta builders and homeowners a smarter way to enhance curb appeal while reducing environmental impact.
Their standout solution, Thermal CorkShield, is a high-performance spray-applied cork coating that creates an all-season thermal barrier, helping stabilize indoor temperatures, lower utility costs, and minimize maintenance. Naturally breathable and water-repellent, it protects against moisture while resisting mould and mildew. Fire-retardant, elastic, and designed for Canada’s extreme climates, the finish retains its colour and shape year after year.
“Our spray overlay process provides that rare opportunity where sustainability and style go hand-in-hand,” says Taylor Hudema of Vipeq West. Available in 30 rich colours and backed by a 15-year warranty, Thermal CorkShield proves that greener building choices can be just as beautiful as they are durable.
