History
We began operating in April of 1992 after buying assets from Wrisco Ltd. Wrisco was a major supplier of aluminum patio covers, enclosure material, and awnings for over 30 years. For 17 years we operated from the old Wrisco location, a 32,000 square foot facility in the Toronto suburb of Markham. In February of 2009, we moved to our current custom-designed, 40,000 square foot facility in Ajax, Ontario (just East of Toronto).
Craft-Bilt’s main business is contractor sales of sunrooms, 4 track windows, picket and glass railing, waterproof decking, awnings, and patio covers. We manufacture railing kits, patio cover kits, and sunroom kits. Our line of retractable fabric shades includes patio awnings, solar screens, motorized screens, free-standing canopies, and canopies for pergolas. A small percentage of our sales is direct to consumers. Consumers can install as DIY or hire their own contractor, but read the notes on our contact page carefully so you are fully aware of your responsibilities. Direct sales may not be possible in certain areas.
We take a great deal of pride in the quality of our products. This is not the kind of imported products you will find at the big box store. Our products are Canadian and US-made. We are also proud of the engineering materials that have been developed for our products. Proper engineering is important for obtaining building permits. More details can be obtained through your local Craft-Bilt contractor or by filling out our contact form.
