Aluminum Window Cladding Repair: What It Is and When to Fix It
Aluminum cladding is the exterior shell that sheds water and protects the wood window underneath. When it is dented or gapping, moisture can get behind it and rot the frame. Window Rescue Co. repairs damaged sections, reseals gaps and re-wraps coil stock, without pulling the whole window.
What cladding does
Many wood windows rely on an aluminum exterior shell to shed water and protect the wood underneath. Once that cladding is dented or gapping, moisture can get behind it and start rotting the frame it was meant to protect.
Signs cladding needs attention
- Dented, dinged or bent aluminum cladding
- A peeling, chalking or fading exterior finish
- Gaps or separation between the cladding and the frame
How we repair it
We repair damaged sections, reseal gaps and re-wrap coil stock to restore the weather barrier, matching color and finish to your existing exterior wherever possible. If rot has already started behind the cladding, we restore the wood frame first, then reclad. See our wood frame restoration and aluminum cladding repair in Nashville.
Common Questions
Does damaged cladding mean the window is ruined?
Not usually. The wood window underneath is often still sound, and repairing the cladding early helps keep it that way.
Can you match the color of my existing cladding?
Yes. We match coil stock color and finish as closely as possible to your existing exterior.
