Or for those looking for a higher-end window that will maintain its colour over time, wood aluminium clad windows are a fashionable choice. “One of the big trends in the last five years has been decorative glass kits with sidelites going into coloured doors,” adds Wood. “It creates curb appeal and a lot of real estate agents will tell you that the best money you can spend is in a new entry system on a house.” If you want to ask anything about windows and doors, Wood invites you to stop by Revolution’s home show booth, where you can also check out some of their products, like the Laflamme line.
