A wood window through its structure.
Fenstür’s frame and sash are engineered timber. The aluminum is exterior protection; the interior remains the wood species and finish you choose. This differs from a vinyl or fiberglass frame with a decorative wood-look surface. See our real wood versus wood-look comparison for the material differences.
Protected exterior
A separated, ventilated aluminum skin limits direct weather exposure of the timber and provides a powder-coated exterior finish.
Built in Canada
Manufactured, finished, glazed and inspected in Duncan, BC, with shipping across Canada and the United States.
Choose the window system before the finish.
| Opening | Systems to review | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Tilt-and-turn / tilt-only | 78 mm and 106 mm timber systems, with exterior cladding | Review inward-opening windows → |
| Picture / fixed | 78 mm and 106 mm systems; custom fixed-and-operable combinations | Explore window configurations → |
| Casement / awning | 78 mm outward-opening system; outside the current PHI-certified scope | Compare operation and sightlines → |
| Passive House window | Applicable 106 mm cork-insulated configuration, matched to its certificate | Check the PHI listing and limitations → |
Glazing, size limits, thermal performance and applicable testing depend on the complete configuration. Request the technical package for your opening schedule.
Plan for exposure and maintenance.
Cladding can reduce the work of maintaining an exposed timber exterior. It does not make a window maintenance-free. Keep drainage paths clear, inspect seals and hardware, clean the aluminum finish and review coastal exposure when specifying the coating.
All wood may suit a sheltered elevation or a project prioritizing timber on both sides. Cladding usually adds initial cost. Compare the same opening, glass and hardware when reviewing quotes in our wood versus wood-aluminum-clad guide.
See the Green Point project →One material palette across the home.
Pair clad windows with Climatech wood-aluminum-clad lift-and-slide doors and coordinated entry doors. Imago lift-and-slide remains an all-wood system. Review wood species and factory finishes, then order physical samples through the webshop.
Buying from a Canadian manufacturer gives you a direct project conversation about drawings, finishes, replacement parts and delivery. Confirm the current lead time, installation responsibilities and service arrangements in your quote.
Wood-aluminum-clad window questions
Are these real wood windows?
Yes. Engineered timber forms the frame and sash; aluminum protects the exterior. The interior is genuine wood.
Can I choose different interior and exterior colours?
Yes. Interior wood finishes and exterior aluminum colours can be coordinated separately. Confirm available coatings and physical samples before ordering.
Are all clad windows Passive House certified?
No. Fenstür has a listed 106 mm wood-aluminum window system, but the exact configuration, glazing and certificate limits must match the project. The 78 mm range and casement/awning products do not inherit that certification.
What information is needed for a quote?
Send your project location, opening schedule or approximate sizes, operation, glass requirements, interior finish, exterior colour and timing. Identify any Passive House or other performance targets.
