Are Vinyl Clad Windows Good

Vinyl-clad wood windows offer the best of two worlds: an encased temperature-transfer-resistant wood interior, and a low maintenance exterior.

What is the difference between vinyl and vinyl clad?

Vinyl clad windows are constructed of wood with a vinyl cladding that provides the finish and helps protect against the elements. These windows are similar to all-vinyl windows in their look and design but are more durable in the long run.

What's wrong with vinyl windows?

And though all windows expand and contract with temperature changes, vinyl expands more than twice that of wood. It expands seven times farther than glass with each degree of temperature. This can cause the seal between the vinyl framework and the glass to fail.
