Meet Karl
What’s your background and how long have you been at Westeck?
My background was in residential building and renovations. I started in the trades as an apprentice carpenter with a focus on finishing carpentry. After three years doing finishing carpentry, I transitioned into bathroom reno’s exclusively which allowed me to expand my knowledge with plumbing as well. I have been working at Westeck for over a year now.
What’s your personal design style?
My style is West Coast Log and Timber Homes. I prefer natural building materials like log and stone that blend into the natural surroundings and have a rustic feel.
Tell us about your favorite Westeck product.
My favourite product line is the EliteSlide. When I do want to introduce technology into a building, I like to keep the lines simple and clean with a minimal frame to maximize the view. The EliteSlide allows the outdoors in as much as possible. The EliteSlide accomplishes this with the largest panel sizes and smallest frame profile.
What is the most enjoyable thing about working at Westeck?
The thing I enjoy most about working at Westeck is helping the builders and future homeowners consider the options available to them and choose the best ones. There are so many choices out there that becoming an expert in Fenestration products allows me to be of service by streamlining and tailoring options to suit the needs of the individual project, while taking into consideration performance requirements, cost and design elements.
