No. The windows is this courtyard are true wood windows. On the inside the windows are painted to match the trim on the interior.

This is one of the great things about wood windows! On the exterior they can be clad or painted to match your exterior trim and on the inside they can be stained or painted to match your interior decor.

Wood windows also provide a great thermal break. While we love to use wood windows everywhere we can, many times we will use wood windows on the front elevation and vinyl on the sides. This allows us to have the high class look of the wood windows were everyone is looking and save money (and still have a great performing window) on the side elevations and rear.
