Choosing Quality Wood Clad Windows

Replace With Wood Without The Maintenance Of Wood!

Forget The High Maintenance Of All Wood! Choose Wood Clad!

Unless you are a professional furniture refinished, you probably don’t look forward to stripping, filling, sanding, and repainting or staining wood. Wood does not last forever out in the elements. Thats why most exterior siding and trim is now fiber-cement siding.

The exterior surface of your window frames should not be made of wood. The Window Experts offer better solutions.

Prefer Wood Framing For Your Interior? Afraid of Maintenance?

There was a time when all windows had 100% wood framing. Maybe you are battling that right now. If your home is a vintage Craftsman or Victorian style home and it still has wood windows, it’s time to move away from high maintenance exterior wood!

As you’ve seen if you have already watched the video on this page, The Window Experts has three great options to consider. Let’s get into the details of each.

Windsor Windows Wood Clad Replacement Windows

Windsor Windows and Doors has been around since its founding in 1946 in Des Moinesm Iowa. Their Pinnacle wood-clad replacement windows blend interior natural wood—such as pine, fir, or alder—with a tough, powder-coated extruded aluminum exterior.

This heavy-duty outer shield defends against harsh seasonal elements while keeping maintenance low. Inside, the customizable wood grain can be stained or painted to match existing decor.

To improve energy efficiency, these units feature advanced Low-E glass options and warm-edge spacers that create a strong thermal barrier against severe outdoor temperatures. Offered in various configurations and pocket installation styles, they deliver durable performance and lasting architectural appeal.

Sierra Pacific H3 Wood Clad Windows

Sierra Pacific Windows is a division of Sierra Pacific Industries, who has been in the forestry products field since 1949. Residential windows division has been around over 40 years.

Their H3 line redefines window engineering by merging solid wood, rigid vinyl, and heavy-gauge aluminum into a single, cohesive frame through a patented fusion process. This innovative multi-material design eliminates the traditional gaps and weak points found in standard clad windows, locking the structural components together to prevent moisture intrusion and warping.

An exterior aluminum shell provides robust defense against severe weather and UV fading, while the interior showcases pristine, millwork-grade wood ready for custom staining or painting. Enhanced by a built-in thermal break that drastically cuts down energy transfer, these windows deliver exceptional year-round climate control and a streamlined architectural profile.

Infinity from Marvin Composite Wood Clad Windows

Marvin, founded in 1912 in Minnesota, started as a cedar and lumber company and is a leader in wood windows.

The Infinity from Marvin line differentiates itself by entirely avoiding natural wood. The exterior framing is manufactured in a patented (in 1994) Ultrex® fiberglass construction. Ultrex fiberglass boasts eight times the strength of vinyl, preventing thermal expansion, cracks, and frame distortion from extreme seasonal weather shifts.

Complementing Ultrex is a composite wood alternative called Everwood. Everwood looks and acts just like wood! It can be re-painted or stained to match your interior decor or ordered in the finish you desire. Infinity from Marvin produces a much narrower, more elegant frame profile that maximizes incoming natural light and glass surface area.

Infinity from Marvin is our top-of-the-line window offering.
