Wood-Clad Windows

Wood-clad windows give you real wood inside and a tough aluminum or fiberglass skin outside that never needs painting. It’s the best of both for homes where the interior trim deserves wood but the exterior faces sun and rain.

What It Is

Wood Inside, Armor Outside

A wood-clad window is built with a wood frame and sash, then covered on the outside with extruded aluminum or fiberglass in a factory finish. Inside, you see natural wood that can be stained or painted to match your trim.

The cladding takes the weather, so the exterior keeps its color for years without scraping and painting. Many lines offer dozens of exterior colors and several wood species inside.
