# Wood-clad window

A wood-clad window has a real wood interior and a metal or other protective cladding on the outside that shields the wood from weather.

A wood-clad window gives you two materials in one unit. Inside, you see wood that you can stain, paint or clear-coat. Outside, a durable shell takes the sun, rain and wind so the wood stays protected.

In North Texas, where summers are hot and storms are hard, the outer layer matters. The most common shell is [aluminum-clad](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/glossary/aluminum-clad) framing. Wood-clad units suit homes where the interior look matters as much as the exterior finish. Compare them with steel and aluminum in our guide to [clad wood vs steel vs aluminum frames](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/guides/clad-wood-vs-steel-vs-aluminum-frames), or see the [clad wood windows](https://honeyrock.multisites.ai/windows/clad-wood-windows) page.
