What Are Wood-Clad Windows?
Wood-clad windows are a popular choice for homeowners who want the warmth and style of real wood on the inside, combined with a tough exterior that resists weather damage. These windows feature an interior wood frame and an exterior protective layer—typically vinyl, aluminium, or fiberglass.
This design allows you to enjoy the beauty of natural wood indoors while minimizing maintenance needs outdoors.
Wood-clad windows are especially appealing for homeowners looking for long-lasting performance without sacrificing style.
