Aluminum Clad Windows

Aluminum clad windows are windows with aluminum wrapped around the outside frame that is exposed to the weather. Aluminum protects the outside of the window.

Aluminum "capping" has long been used on window installations and is proven to last a long time and serve as a good way to cover exposed wooden sills and unsightly joins between the old window frame and the newly installed window.

Making an aluminum/wooden window is just a logical extension of the idea of capping a window.

The benefits of windows with aluminum cladding are as follows:

  • The window frames inside are very well protected against the weather
  • You can still have a beautiful looking wood window frame on the inside
  • The aluminum cladding can be made in many colours to match the exterior of your house
  • Aluminum cladding is easy to keep clean

    There are also some disadvantages with combination aluminum-wooden windows

  • Aluminum cladding is thin and soft, and can easily be scratched or dented during transport or installation.
  • The manufacturer must seal the seams where 2 pieces of cladding meet or moisture may get inside the window frame

    Overall, if you are considering wooden windows for your home because of how nice they look, then having aluminum clad frames on the outside makes it possible for you to have the best of both worlds.

    Wooden windows require constant maintenance on the outside regardless of the quality of the wood or joinery. Aluminum cladding on the outside provides a practical alternative to that problem.
