Aluminum-clad window

An aluminum-clad window is a wooden window encased in aluminum for added protection against the elements. This design strengthens the window and prevents warping and weather-related damage. Available in various styles and colors, these windows can feature double or triple panes for better energy efficiency. Though slightly more expensive than PVC-clad or all-wood windows, aluminum-clad windows offer lower maintenance and reduced energy costs. Manufacturers typically follow a similar process: building a wooden window and reinforcing it with an aluminum exterior.
