Wood Windows
Back in the day, most wood windows were wood inside and out. If not maintained properly, this would often lead to rotting of the exterior frame or insect damage. While some manufacturers still make and sell those types of windows , other manufacturers found many design flaws. One of the main flaws was exposed wood on the exterior which was prone to rot and insect damage if not properly maintained. Addressing these flaws consisted of adding additional materials to be used on the exterior such as a thick aluminum frame which allows the windows to cover any exposed wood on the exterior of the frames. This makes wood/clad windows near maintenance free on the exterior.
