Market Position/ History

Weather Shield was founded in 1955 by Edward “Lee” Schield, who started with a clear vision and invested his personal savings to purchase aluminum extrusion parts. He carefully assembled these parts by hand into storm doors, selling them to homeowners in Central Wisconsin. As demand grew, Schield expanded his reach by building relationships with contractors, setting the stage for the company’s evolution into a leading manufacturer of windows and doors.

Today, Weather Shield remains proudly family-owned, with the Schield family actively engaged in the company’s day-to-day operations. The company’s ongoing growth and success are driven by a commitment to delivering top-quality products and continuous innovation. Over the years, Weather Shield has become one of the nation’s premier window and door manufacturers, combining a rich legacy with a forward-looking approach to meet the evolving needs of its customers.
