There are some significant downsides to a wood window, however, that have driven many builders and homeowners to switch to other frame materials. Wood frame exteriors require a lot of regular maintenance. Whether you seal, stain or paint them, regular maintenance to the exterior with frequent touch ups and occasional refurbishing, sanding and applying new coats is almost always required. Wood windows are also prone to rot, which can damage their integrity and make it difficult for them to hold paint. Nonetheless, a properly maintained wood window can last for years.

Some manufacturers of wood windows will offer cladding as an alternative to vinyl and fiberglass. However, some clad materials can conduct heat and cold while others offer limited color options and cannot be painted. And the wood beneath almost all cladding is susceptible to water damage that seeps behind the clad material and rots the wood.
