Roll Formed Cladding - The Best Way to Protect Wood
Windows from Weather
Wood window and door manufacturers have long used exterior cladding to protect the wood frame and sash
from the ravages of sun, rain, wind and ice. Roll formed aluminum cladding is the best choice for damage resistance, aesthetic flexibility, long lasting finish and a tight fit.
Coatings: HOMESHIELD offers roll formed aluminum in several coating options. We start with a top
quality, corrosion resistant primer and then topcoat with either polyester or higher performance organic
coatings that meet, or exceed, AAMA performance standards. Roll coating’s superior application uniformity ensures high quality finishes that keep their good looks for years longer than spray applications.
Strength: HOMESHIELD roll formed cladding is offered in several alloys and thicknesses to meet window manufacturer specifications for hardness, tensile strength and design.
Thermal Performance: Aluminum cladding conducts heat. Roll formed cladding offers lower conductance than heavier extruded aluminum cladding.
Design Flexibility: Roll formed cladding offers the look of wood with crisp detailing, tight fit and custom contouring. Our custom end work on cut to length sections assures watertight fit and finish.
