Your doors are part of two spaces at once: the room you live in and the exterior that welcomes you home. An aluminum clad wood unit brings a different advantage to each side, pairing the beauty of real wood inside with the protective strength of aluminum outside.
Two materials. One thoughtful design.
A clad unit combines a wood panel with aluminum cladding on its exterior face. The wood gives the interior its natural character, while the aluminum forms a protective outer covering.
For a folding glass door or window, that combination brings style and practicality into the same opening. You can enjoy the warmth of wood where you see and touch your doors every day, with aluminum facing the outdoors.
The beauty of wood, right where you live.
Wood brings depth, grain, and warmth to a room. Around a large glass opening, it can help the doors feel like a natural part of the architecture, complementing wood floors, ceiling beams, cabinetry, or interior trim.
Picture a comfortable living room with rich wood tones, a dining area framed by natural materials, or a light and welcoming space with painted woodwork. A clad unit gives you a wood interior to include in that design conversation.
The result is an opening that feels connected to your home, whether the panels are closed around the view or folded back for an afternoon outside.
Protective aluminum on the outside.
The exterior of a door faces a different job. Sun, rain, and changing weather make material choice an important part of planning the opening.
Aluminum cladding covers the exterior face of the wood panel, adding a durable outer surface that helps shield the wood beneath it from direct exposure. It brings aluminum’s protective qualities to the outside while preserving the wood character you enjoy indoors.
That is the practical appeal of clad: natural beauty on the room side, with a protective aluminum exterior facing the elements. Your Lanai team can help you choose the appropriate finish and care for it in your location.
A look that belongs on both sides.
Your interior and exterior do not have to share the same color palette. Inside, you may want wood tones that work with the room’s furnishings. Outside, you may prefer a finish that coordinates with siding, masonry, trim, or other windows.
Clad construction lets you consider those two views together. A warm interior and a crisp exterior can each feel at home in their surroundings.
Bring your material samples and design ideas to Lanai. We can discuss current wood and exterior finish options, along with the glass, hardware, and folding configuration suited to your project.
Style and strength, with room to open up.
The versatility of clad goes beyond its finishes. A folding opening can connect a living room with a patio, bring an outdoor dining space within easy reach, or make a kitchen window part of the conversation outside.
Start with how you want to use your space. Then consider how the doors or windows should look from each side and where the panels should fold. Lanai can help you bring those choices together in a system planned for your opening.
Wood beauty inside. Aluminum protection outside. A mix of style and strength that feels at home on both sides.
