Clad Wood Replacement Windows
Clad wood replacement windows are often chosen by Seattle area home owners who are seeking out a window with an interior wood finish. Clad
wood is by definition a wood window that has an exterior cladding normally made of aluminum, fiberglass, or vinyl. Before claded
products were introduced, homes were commonly fitted with solid wood windows. However wood rot, warp, and overall high maintenance
of wood windows led many manufacturers to add an exterior cladding to protect the wood and improve its durability. Today, clad wood
products remain very popular with many consumers as they offer traditional styling, historically-accurate features, and multiple
color options. Although clad wood products still require some level of maintenance, they are a good choice for those homes and
homeowners who are seeking the style and options that these products offer.
At Lake Washington Windows & Doors, we are proud to lead with two clad wood window manufacturers that offer the quality,
versatility, style, and customer service that we expect for you our customer. These two manufacturers and products are the
Milgard WoodClad and Jeld-Wen Aluminum Clad replacement window. Milgard is the West Coast's largest replacement window manufacturer and
was founded in Tacoma, Washington in 1958. Jeld-Wen Windows and Doors is one of the top three largest window and door manufacturers in
the nation and also has local Northwest roots, starting operations in Klamath Falls, Ore in 1960. Both manufacturers are nationally
recognized brands that have consistent and proven track records.
The Milgard WoodClad offers arguably the best clad technology in the industry. It is comprised of a pultruded fiberglass
frame with a thin wood veneer to the interior. The combining of these two materials yields a low-maintenance product while
retaining the look of a traditional wood window. In addition, the Milgard WoodClad is energy efficient, durable, and
eco-friendly. The Jeld-Wen product is comprised of a durable extruded aluminum cladding with a pine wood interior. With both
the Milgard and Jeld-Wen products, you achieve the old-world character of wood windows without all the headaches.
