Wood Interior with Vinyl Exterior
A core offering for the 400 Series is the combination of a rich wood interior with a robust vinyl exterior. This design marries the warmth and natural beauty of wood inside your home with the low-maintenance benefits of vinyl on the exterior.
- Wood Interior: Typically available in pine, this can be stained or painted to match existing décor.
- Vinyl Exterior: This weather-resistant exterior shields against the elements and requires minimal upkeep, eliminating the need for painting.
All-Vinyl Frames
For those seeking the utmost in low-maintenance performance, the 400 Series also provides all-vinyl frame construction.
- Durable Vinyl: These frames are engineered for strength and resilience, offering excellent thermal performance and resistance to warping, fading, and corrosion.
- Color Options: Available in a selection of colors that are integral to the vinyl, ensuring long-lasting appearance without chipping or peeling.
Specialty Frame Materials
Depending on the specific window style within the 400 Series (such as specialty shapes), there may be additional frame material considerations or finishes available to complement unique design requirements.
Frame Colors and Finishes
