Item 4.   Description of Securities.

          1991 Stock Option Plan.  On August 15, 1991, the Company's Board of
Directors adopted the International Aluminum Corporation 1991 Stock Option 
Plan (the "1991 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders on 
October 31, 1991.  The 1991 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock 
options ("ISO") and non-statutory stock options ("NSO") to key employees and 
directors of the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase up to an aggregate 
of 500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment for
stock splits, stock dividends or similar capital adjustments.  



<PAGE>
          The 1991 Plan is administered by the Company's Board of Directors 
or, in the discretion of the Board, by an administrative committee (the 
"Plan Committee") appointed by the Board.  The Plan Committee, if 
established, must consist of two or more members of the Board of Directors 
who are "disinterested" persons within the meaning of the 1991 Plan.  The
Board of Directors is authorized to add members to or remove members from the
1991 Plan Committee and to fill any vacancies as may exist thereon from time
to time.  The administrator of the 1991 Plan, whether the Board of Directors
or the Plan Committee (the "Administrator"), is authorized to select 
participants, to fix a time or times and the price or prices at which options
to purchase shares may be granted, and to determine the number of shares 
subject to each option.  Options are evidenced by stock option agreements 
between the Company and the respective optionees.  The agreements must 
conform to the 1991 Plan, but the Administrator may include such terms, 
consistent with the 1991 Plan, as it determines in its discretion.  

          The exercise price of an ISO must be at least equal to the fair 
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and, in the case of a
holder, directly or indirectly, of in excess of 10% of the total combined 
voting power of the Company, its parent (if any) or any subsidiary (a "10% 
stockholder"), 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant.  The
exercise price of a NSO must be at least equal to 80% of the fair market 
value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and, in the case of a 10% 
stockholder, 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant.  The exercise 
price must be paid in full at the time an option is exercised in cash or, 
in the discretion of the Administrator, by surrender of Common Stock of the
Company having a fair market value at the time of exercise equal to the 
option exercise price of the shares being purchased, or by any combination of
the foregoing.  

          The aggregate fair market value of Common Stock with respect to 
which ISOs are exercisable by any optionee during any calendar year under the
1991 Plan, and all other plans maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries, 
may not exceed $100,000.  If the $100,000 limit is exceeded, that portion of 
the ISO that exceeds the limit shall constitute a NSO.

          The term "fair market value", when used in reference to the Common 
Stock, is defined in the 1991 Plan generally to mean the closing price as 
reported for New York Stock Exchange composite transactions on the business day 
immediately prior to the date on which the determination of fair market value 
is made or, if no sale occurred on that date, then the mean between the closing 
bid and asked prices on such exchange on such date.  Alternative methods
of determining fair market value for 1991 Plan purposes are contained in the 
1991 Plan to be used if the Common Stock is no longer traded on the New York 
Stock Exchange.

          Each stock option agreement states the time or times at which all 
or part of the options represented thereby may be exercised.  No option shall 
be exercisable after the tenth anniversary of the date of its grant, and no 
10% stockholder may exercise an option after the fifth anniversary of the date 
of its grant.  Except as otherwise may be provided in a stock optionagreement, 
upon an optionee's resignation, discharge or other termination of employee or
director status (other than by death, disability or retirement of the 
optionee), the optionee may exercise his or her options to the extent 
exercisable up to thirty days following the date of such 
<PAGE>
termination, unless such termination is a consequence of misconduct as 
described in the 1991 Plan.  Stock option agreements issued under the 1991 
Plan may provide that all options held by an optionee, whether or not otherwise 
exercisable, terminate upon resignation, discharge or other termination on 
account of misconduct within the meaning of the 1991 Plan.  Except as otherwise
may be provided in a stock option agreement, an optionee (or an authorized 
representative or successor to the options) also may exercise his or her 
options to the extent exercisable upon death or disability, up to 365 days 
after the optionee's death or last day of work, as the case maybe.  Except as 
otherwise may be provided in a stock option agreement, an optionee may exercise
his or her options to the extent exercisable at the time of retirement, up to
ninety days after the optionee's retirement date.  Options granted under the 
1991 Plan are transferable only by will or the laws of descent and 
distribution.  

          The Administrator shall adjust proportionately the number of shares
covered by the 1991 Plan, the number of shares covered by each outstanding 
option under the 1991 Plan and the exercise price of each such option for any
increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of the Company's 
Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, such 
as would result from a subdivision or consolidation of such shares or the
distribution of shares of the Company's Common Stock as a dividend on Company
securities. If the Company merges or consolidates with another company, where
the Company is the surviving company and the merger or consolidation does not
result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of
the Company's Common Stock, each outstanding option under the 1991 Plan shall 
apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Common 
Stock subject to such option would have been entitled as a result of the
merger or consolidation.  If the Company sells all or substantially all of 
its assets or merges or consolidates with another company (other than a merger
or consolidation previously described), then the 1991 Plan and all options 
shall terminate, but only after each optionee has been given the right to 
exercise any unexpired option without regard to any vesting provisions thereof. 
Alternatively, in its sole and absolute discretion, the surviving or 
acquiring corporation (or the parent company of the surviving or acquiring 
corporation) may tender to any optionee (or successor in interest) a substitute 
option or options to purchase shares of the surviving or acquiring corporation 
(or the parent corporation of the surviving or acquiring corporation).  The
substitute option shall contain all terms and provisions required 
substantially to preserve the rights and benefits of all options then held by
the optionee (or successor in interest) receiving the substitute option.  Any 
other dissolution or liquidation of the Company shall cause each option to 
terminate.

          In the event of a pending or threatened takeover bid or tender or 
exchange offer for 20% or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock or 
other class of securities (other than any such offer by the Company or any of 
its subsidiaries), and in other limited circumstances, the Company's Board of 
Directors may, without stockholder approval, and to the extent not inconsistent 
with the 1991 Plan:  (i) accelerate the exercise dates of any outstanding 
option or make the option fully vested and exercisable; (ii) pay cash to any 
or all holders ofoptions in exchange for the cancellation of their outstanding 
options; or (iii) make any other 

<PAGE>
adjustments or amendments to the 1991 Plan and outstanding options and 
substitute new options for outstanding options.

          The Company's Board of Directors may from time to time suspend or 
discontinue the 1991 Plan or revise or amend it in any respect, except that 
approval of the Company's shareholders is required to increase the number of 
shares subject to the 1991 Plan, to change the classes of persons eligible 
to receive options under the 1991 Plan, to amend that section of the 1991 Plan 
pertaining to plan amendments or to materially increase the benefits accruing to
participants under the 1991 Plan.  The 1991 Plan expires on August 15, 2001, 
and no options may be granted after that date.  Options outstanding on that 
date will expire in accordance with their terms.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

          Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law (the 
"California Law") and Section 3.15 of the Company's by-laws, as amended (the 
"By-Laws"), provide for the indemnification of directors, officers and "agents" 
(as defined in Section 317 of the California Law) under certain circumstances.  
The By-Laws grant the Company the power to indemnify its directors, officers 
and agents under certain circumstances to the extent permitted by the
California Law against certain expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and 
other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding
arising by reason of his or her position as a director, officer or agent.  
Pursuant to the California Law, the Company is required to indemnify directors, 
officers and agents against expenses actually and reasonably incurred to the 
extent that such party is successful on the merits in defense of certain
proceedings.

          The Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as allowed by the 
California Law, provide for the indemnification, subject to certain 
limitations, of directors, officers and agents for breach of their duty to a 
corporation and its shareholders in excess of that expressly permitted by 
Section 317 of the California Law.  The Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation also eliminate the personal liability of the directors for 
monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under the California Law.

          The Company maintains a director's and officer's liability insurance 
policy, insuring such individuals against certain liabilities asserted 
against or incurred by the directors and officers in their capacity as such.

          The Company has entered into supplemental indemnification 
agreements with its directors and officers that require the Company to 
indemnify such persons against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and 
other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including expenses of a 
derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or 
threatened, to which any person may be made a party by reason of the fact 
that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its 
affiliated enterprises, provided such person acted in good faith and in a 
manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the 

<PAGE>
best interest of the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, 
had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  The 
indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply 
in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.  The indemnification 
agreements are not intended to deny or otherwise limit third-party or derivative
suits against the Company or its directors or officers, but if a director or
officer were entitled to indemnity or contribution under the indemnification
agreement, the financial burden of a third-party suit would be borne by the 
Company, and the Company would not benefit from derivative recoveries against
the director or officer.  Such recoveries would accrue to the benefit of the 
Company but would be offset by the Company's obligations to the director or 
officer under the indemnification agreement.

          The above discussion of the Company's By-Laws, Restated Articles of
Incorporation, indemnification agreements and of the California Law is not 
intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirety by 
such By-Laws, Restated Articles of Incorporation, indemnification 
agreements and statutes.

          4.2       Restated Articles of Incorporation of Registrant.

     4.3       By-Laws of Registrant, as amended to date.

     5.        Opinion of McIntyre & Lubeck.

     24.1      Consent of Price Waterhouse LLP.

     24.2      Consent of McIntyre & Lubeck (included in Exhibit 5).

     25.       Power of Attorney (set forth at page 8.).

Item 9.   Undertakings.

          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to remove from 
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities 
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.



<PAGE>
          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,where applicable, each 
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) 
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement 
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such 
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering 
thereof.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act 
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the 
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is 
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, 
unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such 
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred 
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the 
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such 
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities 
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel 
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of 
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is 
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue. 

                                SIGNATURES

          Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the 
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this 
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, 
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Monterey Park, State of California, on
December 19, 1994.

1991 subject to the approval of the Corporation's stockholders
pursuant to Section 15 hereof.

          4.  ADMINISTRATION

          The Plan shall be administered, in the discretion of
the Board from time to time, by the Board or by a Committee which
shall be appointed by the Board.  The Board may from time to time 
<PAGE>
remove members from, or add members to, the Committee.  Vacancies
on the Committee, however caused, shall be filed by the Board. 
The Committee shall be composed of disinterested directors, i.e.,
directors who have not, during the one year prior to service as
an administrator of the Plan, been granted or awarded equity
securities pursuant to the Plan or any other plan of the
Corporation or any of its affiliates, other than a plan which
would not negate such director's status as "disinterested"
pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.  There
shall be at least two directors serving on the Committee at any
time.  The Board shall appoint one of the members of the
Committee as Chairman.  The Administrator shall hold meetings at
such times and places as it may determine.  Acts of a majority of
the Administrator at which a quorum is present, or acts reduced
to or approved in writing by the unanimous consent of the members
of the Administrator, shall be the valid acts of the
Administrator.

          The Administrator shall from time to time at its
discretion select the Employees and directors who are to be
granted Options, determine the number of Shares to be subject to
Options to be granted to each Optionee and designate such Options
as Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options, except
that no Incentive Stock Option may be granted to a non-Employee
director.  A Committee or Board member shall in no event
participate in any determination relating to Options held by or
to be granted to such Committee or Board member.  The
interpretation and construction by the Administrator of any
provision of the Plan or of any Option or Option Agreement shall
be final.  No member of the Administrator shall be liable for any
action or determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or any Option.

          5.   PARTICIPATION

               (a)  Eligibility

               The Optionees shall be such persons (collectively,
"Participants"; individually a "Participant") as the
Administrator may select from among the following classes of
persons, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5(b)
below:

                      (i)  Employees (who may be officers,
whether or not they are directors); and

                     (ii)  Directors of the Corporation or of a
Subsidiary.

          Notwithstanding provisions of the first paragraph of
this Section 5(a), the Administrator may at any time or from time
to time designate one or more directors as being ineligible for 

<PAGE>
selection as Participants in the Plan for any period or periods
of time.

               (b)  Ten-Percent Stockholders

               A Participant who owns more than ten percent (10%)
of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding
stock of the Corporation, its parent or any of its Subsidiaries
shall not be eligible to receive an Option unless (i) the
Exercise Price of the Shares subject to such Option is at least
one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of such
Shares on the date of grant and (ii) such Option by its terms is
not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the
date of grant.

               (c)  Stock Ownership

               For purposes of Section 5(b) above, in determining
stock ownership, a Participant shall be considered as owning the
stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his or her
brothers and sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. 
Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation,
partnership, estate or trust shall be considered as being owned
proportionately by or for its shareholders, partners or
beneficiaries.  Stock with respect to which such Participant
holds an Option shall not be counted.

               (d)  Outstanding Stock

               For purposes of Section 5(b) above, "outstanding
stock" shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding
immediately after the grant of the Option to the Optionee. 
"Outstanding stock" shall not include shares authorized for issue
under outstanding Options held by the Optionee or by any other
person.

          6.   STOCK

          The stock subject to Options granted under the Plan
shall be Shares of the Corporation's authorized but unissued or
reacquired Common Stock.  The aggregate number of Shares which
may be issued upon exercise of Options under the Plan shall not
exceed 500,000.  The number of Shares subject to Options
outstanding at any time shall not exceed the number of Shares
remaining available for issuance under the Plan.  In the event
that any outstanding Option for any reason expires or is
terminated, the Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of
such Option may again be made subject to an Option.  The
limitations established by this Section 6 shall be subject to
adjustment in the manner provided in Section 10 hereof upon the
occurrence of an event specified in that Section.

<PAGE>    
     7.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

               (a)  Stock Option Agreements

               Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option
Agreement in such form as the Administrator shall from time to
time determine.  Such Option Agreements need not be identical but
shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Section 7.

               (b)  Nature of Option

               Each Option shall state whether it is an Incentive
Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

               (c)  Number of Shares

               Each Option shall state the number of Shares to
which it pertains and shall provide for the adjustment thereof in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof.

               (d)  Exercise Price

               Each Option shall state the Exercise Price.  The
Exercise Price in the case of any Incentive Stock Option shall
not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant and,
in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee
described in Section 5(b) hereof, shall not be less than one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date
of grant.  The Exercise Price in the case of any Nonstatutory
Stock Option shall not be less than eighty percent (80%) of the
Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

               (e)  Medium and Time of Payment

               The Purchase Price shall be payable in full in
United States dollars upon the exercise of the Option; provided,
however, that if the applicable Option Agreement so provides, or
the Administrator, in its sole discretion otherwise approves
thereof, the Purchase Price may be paid by the surrender of
Shares in good form for transfer, owned by the person exercising
the Option and having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise
equal to the Purchase Price, or in any combination of cash and
Shares, so long as the sum of the cash so paid and the Fair
Market Value of the Shares so surrendered equals the Purchase
Price.

               If the Corporation determines that it is required
to withhold state or Federal income tax as a result of the
exercise of an Option, as a condition to the exercise thereof, an
Optionee must make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation 


<PAGE>
to enable it to satisfy such withholding requirements before the
Optionee shall be permitted to exercise the Option.

               (f)  Term and Non-Transferability of Options

               Each Option shall state the time or times when all
or part thereof becomes exercisable.  No Option, including
Incentive Stock Options, shall be exercisable after the
expiration of ten (10) years from the date it was granted. 
During the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option shall be
exercisable only by the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian or
legal representative and shall not be assignable or transferable. 
In the event of the Optionee's death, the Option shall not be
transferable by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution.  Any other attempted alienation,
assignment, pledge, hypothecation, attachment, execution or
similar process, whether voluntary or involuntary, with respect
to all or any part of any Option or right thereunder, shall be
null and void and, at the Corporation's option shall cause all of
the Optionee's rights under the Option to terminate.

               (g)  Cessation of Employment (Except by Death,
Disability or Retirement

               If an Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any
reason other than his or her death, Disability or Retirement,
such Optionee shall have the right, subject to the restrictions
referred to in Section 7(f) above, to exercise the Option at any
time within thirty (30) days after cessation of employment, but
except as otherwise provided in the applicable Option Agreement,
only to the extent that, at the date of cessation of employment,
the Optionee's right to exercise such Option had accrued pursuant
to the terms of the applicable Option Agreement and had not
previously been exercised.  An Option Agreement may, in the sole
discretion of the Administrator, but need not, provide that the
Option shall cease to be exercisable on the date of such
cessation if such cessation arises by reason of such Employee's
misconduct.  An Employee shall be considered to have been
terminated for misconduct if he or she resigns, is discharged or
otherwise termination on account of conviction of a felony or any
crime of moral turpitude, misappropriation of the assets of the
Corporation or any Subsidiaries or any affiliate, continued or
repeated insobriety or illegal drug use, continued or repeated
absence from service during the usual working hours of the
employee's position for reasons other than Disability or
sickness, or refusal to carry out a reasonable direction of the
Board or of the chief executive officer of the Corporation or of
any other person designated by such chief executive officer.

               For purposes of this Section 7(g) the employment
relationship shall be treated as continuing intact while the
Optionee is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide 

<PAGE>
leave of absence (to be determined in the sole discretion of the
Administrator).  The foregoing notwithstanding, in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, employment shall not be deemed to
continue beyond the thirtieth (30th) day after the Optionee
ceased active employment, unless the Optionee's reemployment
rights are guaranteed by statute or by contract.

               (h)  Death of Optionee

               If an Optionee dies while a Participant, or after
ceasing to be a Participant but during the period in which he or
she could have exercised the Option under this Section 7, and has
not fully exercised the Option, then the Option may be exercised
in full, subject to the restrictions referred to in Section 7(f)
above, at any time within twelve (12) months after the Optionee's
death by the executor or administrator of his or her estate of by
any person or persons who have acquired the Option directly from
the Optionee by bequest or inheritance, but, except as otherwise
provided in the applicable Option Agreement, only to the extent
that, at the date of death, the Optionee's right to exercise such
Option had accrued and had not been forfeited pursuant to the
terms of the applicable Option Agreement and had not previously
been exercised.

               (i)  Disability of Optionee

               If an Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason
of Disability, such Optionee shall have the right, subject to the
restrictions referred to in Section 7(f) above, to exercise the
Option at any time within twelve (12) months after such cessation
of employment, but, except as provided in the applicable Option
Agreement, only to the extent that, at the date of such cessation
of employment, the Optionee's right to exercise such Option had
accrued pursuant to the terms of the applicable Option Agreement
and had not previously been exercised.

               (j)  Retirement of Optionee

               If an Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason
of Retirement (and not on account of misconduct as determined in
Section 7(g)), such Optionee shall have the right, subject to the
restrictions referred to in Section 7(f) above, to exercise the
Option at any time within ninety (90) days after cessation of
employment, but only to the extent that, at the date of cessation
of employment, the Optionee's right to exercise such Option had
accrued pursuant to the terms of the applicable Option Agreement
and had not previously been exercised.

               (k)  Rights as a Stockholder

               No one shall have rights as a stockholder with
respect to any Shares covered by an Option until the date of the

<PAGE>
issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares.  No adjustment
shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether
in cash, securities or other property), distributions or other
rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock
certificate is issued, except as expressly provided in Section 10
hereof.

               (l)  Modification, Extension and Renewal of
Options

               Within the limitations of the Plan, the
Administrator may modify an Option, accelerate the rate at which
an Option may be exercised (including, without limitation,
permitting an Option to be exercised in full without regard to
the installment or vesting provisions of the applicable Option
Agreement or whether the Option is at the time exercisable, to
the extent it has not previously been exercised), extend or renew
outstanding Options or accept the cancellation of outstanding
Options (to the extent not previously exercised) for the granting
of new Options in substitution therefor.  The foregoing
notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the
consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or
obligations under any Option previously granted.

               (m)  Notice of Sale

               Until the later of the second anniversary of the
grant of any Incentive Stock Option and the first anniversary of
the issuance of any Stock ("incentive stock") pursuant to the
exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, the stock transfer records
of the Corporation (whether maintained by it or by an transfer
agent of the Common Stock) shall reflect that any certificates
issued or to be issued representing incentive stock in connection
with such exercise must be registered in the name of the
beneficial holder (and not in any "street name") until
transferred to a third party, and that the transfer agent shall
notify the Corporation in a case of any requested transfer of
such incentive stock during that period.  In addition, the
certificate or certificates registered in the name of the
beneficial holder representing the incentive stock issued upon
such exercise will bear the following legend during such period:

          "Solely to assist the issuer of the
          shares represented by this
          certificate, until the later of the
          second anniversary of the date of
          grant of the Option under which the
          certificate was originally issued
          or one year from the date of
          original issuance of the shares
          represented by the certificate, the
          Transfer Agent will notify the
          <PAGE>                       
          issuer of the shares represented
          hereby of any requested transfer by
          the original registered holder."

               (n)  Other Provisions

               An Option Agreement authorized under the Plan may
contain such other provisions not inconsistent with the terms of
the Plan (including, without limitation, restrictions upon the
exercise of the Option) as the Administrator shall deem
advisable.

               (o)  Substitution of Options

               Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions or
limits under the Plan, in the event the Corporation acquires
(whether by purchase, merger or otherwise) all or substantially
all of the outstanding capital stock or assets of another
corporation or in the event of any reorganization or other
transaction qualifying under Section 424 of the Code, the
Administrator may, in accordance with the provisions of that
Section, substitute options under the Plan for options under the
plan of the acquired company provided (i) the excess of the
aggregate fair market value of the shares subject to an option
immediately after the substitution over the aggregate option
price of such shares is not more than the similar excess
immediately before such substitution and (ii) the new option does
not give persons additional benefits, including any extension of
the exercise period.

          8.   LIMITATION OF ANNUAL AWARDS

               The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of
the date an Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to
which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time
by any Optionee during any calendar year under the Plan and all
other plans maintained by the Corporation, its parent or its
Subsidiaries, shall not exceed $100,000.

          9.   TERM OF PLAN

               Options may be granted pursuant to the Plan until
the expiration of the Plan ten years after the effective date
referred to in Section 3.

          10.  EFFECT OF CERTAIN EVENTS

               (a)  Stock Splits and Dividends

               Subject to any required action by stockholders,
the number of Shares covered by the Plan as provided in Section 6
hereof, the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option 

<PAGE>
and the Exercise Price thereof shall be proportionately adjusted
for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares
resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of Shares or the
payment of a stock dividend (but only if paid in Common Stock) or
any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares
effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation.

               (b)  Merger, Sale of Assets, Liquidation

               Subject to any required action by stockholders, if
the Corporation shall merge with another corporation and the
Corporation is the surviving corporation in such merger and under
the terms of such merger the shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the merger remain outstanding and unchanged,
each outstanding Option shall continue to apply to the Shares
subject thereto and shall also pertain and apply to any
additional securities and other property, if any, to which a
holder of the number of Shares subject to the Option would have
been entitled as a result of the merger.  If the Corporation
sells all, or substantially all, of its assets or the Corporation
merges (other than a merger of the type described in the
immediately preceding sentence) or consolidates with another
corporation, this Plan and each Option shall terminate, but only
after each Optionee (or the successor in interest) has been given
the right to exercise any unexpired Option or Options in full or
in part without regard to the installment or vesting provisions
of any Option Agreement.  This right shall be exercisable for the
period of twenty (20) days ending five (5) days before the
effective date of the sale, merger, or consolidation (or such
longer period as the Administrator may specify).  Alternatively,
in its sole and absolute discretion, the surviving or acquiring
corporation (or the parent company of the surviving or acquiring
corporation) may tender to any Optionee (or successor in
interest) a substitute option or options to purchase shares f the
surviving or acquiring corporation (or the parent corporation of
the surviving or acquiring corporation).  The substitute option
shall contain all terms and provisions required substantially to
preserve the rights and benefits of all Options then held by the
Optionee (or successor in interest) receiving the substitute
option.  Any other dissolution or liquidation of the Company
shall cause each Option to terminate.

          At the discretion of the Administrator, an Option
exercised in contemplation of the consummation of the sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or a merger
(other than a merger of the type described in the first sentence
of the immediately preceding paragraph) or consolidation of the
Corporation with another corporation, may be conditioned upon
such sale, merger or consolidation becoming effective.

               (c)  Adjustment Determination


<PAGE>
               To the extent that the foregoing adjustments
relate to securities of the Corporation, such adjustments shall
be made by the Administrator, whose determination shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons.

               (d)  Limitation on Rights

               Except as expressly provided in this Section 10,
the Optionee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any
stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of
shares of stock of any class or by reason of any dissolution,
liquidation, merger or consolidation or spin-off of assets or
stock of another corporation, and any issue by the Corporation of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into
shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment
by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option.  The grant of an
Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right
or power of the Corporation to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or
business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve,
liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets.

               (e)  Change in Control

               In the event of a pending or threatened takeover
bid, tender offer or exchange offer for twenty percent (20%) or
more of the outstanding Common Stock or any other class of stock
or securities of the Company (other than a tender offer or

          11.  SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS

               (a)  Legality of Issuance

               No Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any
Option unless and until the Corporation has determined that:

                      (i)  it and the Optionee have taken all
actions required to register the offer and sale of the Shares
under the Act, or to perfect an exemption from the registration
requirements thereof;

                     (ii)  any applicable listing requirement of
any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed has been
satisfied; and

                    (iii)  any other applicable provision of
state or Federal law has been satisfied.

               (b)  Restrictions on Transfer; Representations of
Optionee; Legends

               Regardless of whether the offering and sale of
Shares under the Plan has been registered under the Act or has
been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any
state, the Corporation may impose restrictions upon the sale,
pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement
of appropriate legends on stock certificates) if, in the judgment
of the Corporation and its counsel, such restrictions are
necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the
provisions of the Act, the securities laws of any state or any
other law.  In the event that the sale of Shares under the Plan
is not registered under the Act but an exemption is available
which requires an investment representation or other
representation, each Optionee shall be required to represent that
such Shares are being acquired for investment, and not with a
view to the sale or distribution thereof, and to make such other
representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the
Corporation and its counsel.  Stock certificates evidencing
Shares acquired under the Plan pursuant to an unregistered
transaction shall bear the following restrictive legend and such
other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable
under the provisions of any applicable law:

          "THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAS NOT
          BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE
          "ACT").  ANY TRANSFER OR PLEDGE OF SUCH SECURITIES WILL
          BE INVALID UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
          ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH TRANSFER OR IN THE OPINION
          OF COUNSEL FOR THE ISSUER SUCH REGISTRATION IS
          UNNECESSARY IN ORDER FOR SUCH TRANSFER OR PLEDGE TO
          COMPLY WITH THE ACT."

<PAGE>
          Any determination by the Corporation and its counsel in
connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 11
shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

               (c)  Registration or Qualification of Securities

               The Corporation may, but shall not be obligated
to, register or qualify the sale of Shares under the Act or any
other applicable law.  The Corporation shall not be obligated to
take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale of Shares
under the Plan to comply with any law.

               (d)  Exchange of Certificates

               If, in the opinion of the Corporation and its
counsel, any legend place don a stock certificate representing
Shares sold under the Plan is no longer required, the holder of
such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate
for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but
without such legend.

          12.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

          The Board may from time to time, with respect to any
Shares at the time not subject to Options, suspend or discontinue
the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever except

          13.  EXCHANGE ACT

          If the Common Stock is registered under the Exchange
Act, the Plan shall be amended by the Board from time to time to
the extent necessary or advisable, in the judgment of the Board
after having consulted with Corporation's counsel, to enable
Participants who are officers or directors of the Corporation and
who are generally subject to the duties established by Section
16(a) or 16(b) of the Exchange Act ("Section 16 Requirements")
with respect to purchases and sales of equity securities of the
Corporation, to obtain the benefits of such exclusions or
exemptions from the Section 16 Requirements as may be established
by the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time by
rule, regulation, administrative order or interpretation (whether
such interpretation is made by such Commission or staff) with
respect to (i) the receipt of Options, (ii) the exercise,
modification, extension, cancellation, exchange, termination or
expiration of Options (iii) the purchase of Common Stock upon the
exercise of Options, and (iv) the sale of Common Stock received
upon the exercise of Options.  Anything in the Plan to the
contrary notwithstanding, such amendments may be made without

extent that, in the judgment of the Board after consulting with
the Corporation's counsel, stockholder approval of such an
amendment is a prerequisite to effectuating a desired exclusion
or exemption from the Section 16 Requirements.

          14.  APPLICATION OF FUNDS

               The proceeds received by the Corporation from the

          THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the ____ day of
__________, 199_, between INTERNATIONAL ALUMINUM CORPORATION, a
California corporation (the "Company"), and
___________________________ (the "Optionee").

                              R E C I T A L S

          A.   The Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board") has established the Company's 1991 Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan") in order to provide key employees of the Company
with a favorable opportunity to acquire shares of the Company's
common stock ("Stock").

          B.   The Board has included in the Plan certain
provisions to provide for the grant of incentive stock options.

          C.   The Board regards the Optionee as a key employee
as contemplated by the Plan and has determined that it would be
in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to
grant the option described in this Agreement to the Optionee as
an inducement to remain in the service of the Company, and as an
incentive for increasing efforts during such service.

          NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

          1.   Definitions and Incorporation.  Unless otherwise
defined herein or the context otherwise requires, the capitalized
terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to
such terms in the Plan.  The Plan is hereby incorporated in and
made a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.  The
Optionee hereby acknowledges that he or she has received a copy
of the Plan.

          2.   Grant of Option.  Pursuant to the Plan, the
Company hereby grants to the Optionee as of the date hereof the
option to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of ___________
shares of Stock (the "Option"), subject to adjustment in
accordance with Section 11 of the Plan.  The Option is intended
to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code.

          3.   Option Price.  The price to be paid for Stock upon
exercise of the Option or any part thereof shall be $_____ per 

<PAGE>
share (the "Exercise Price"), which equals or exceeds the Fair
Market Value of the Stock of the date of the grant of the Option.

          4.   Right to Exercise.  Subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement, the right to exercise the Option shall
accrue in accordance with Schedule 1 attached hereto and hereby
made a part hereof.

          5.   Order of Exercise.  In accordance with amendments
to Section 422 of the Code, Options need not be exercised in
sequential order.

          6.   Securities Law Requirements.  No part of the
Option shall be exercised if counsel to the Company determines
that any applicable registration requirement under the Securities
Act of 1993 (the "Act") or any other applicable requirement of
Federal or state law has not been met.

          7.   Term of Option.  The Option shall terminate in any

year under the Plan and all other plans maintained by the
Corporation, its parent or its Subsidiaries, shall not exceed
$100,000.

          9.   Exercise Following Cessation of Employment.  If
the Optionee's employment with the Company ceases for any reason
or no reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, with or
without cause, other than death, Disability or Retirement, the
Option (to the extent it has not previously been exercised and is
exercisable at the time of cessation) may be exercised within
thirty (3) consecutive days after the date of such cessation. 
The foregoing sentence to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Option shall cease to be exercisable on the date of such
cessation if such cessation arises out of termination for
misconduct.  For this purpose, "misconduct" shall mean conviction
of a felony, misappropriation of the assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary, continued or repeated insobriety, illegal use of
drugs, continued or repeated absence from service during the
usual working hours of the Optionee's position for reasons other
than Disability or sickness, or refusal to carry out the
reasonable direction of the Board or of the chief executive
officer of the Company or of any other person designated by such 
<PAGE>
chief executive officer.  Any determination of "misconduct" by
the Administrator made in good faith shall be final and binding
upon the Company and the Optionee and all persons claiming under
or through them.

          10.  Exercise Following Death or Disability.  If the
Optionee's employment with the Company ceases by reason of the
Optionee's death or Disability, of if the Optionee dies after
cessation of employment but while the Option would have been
exercisable hereunder, the Option (to the extent it has not
previously been exercised and is exercisable at the time of
cessation) may be exercised within one year after the date of the
Optionee's death or cessation by reason of Disability.  In the
case of death, the exercise may be made by his or her
representative or by the person entitled thereto under the
Optionee's will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided
that such representative or such person consents in writing to
abide by and be subject to the terms of the Plan and this
Agreement and such writing is delivered to the President or
Chairman of the Company.

          11.  Exercise Following Retirement.  If the Optionee's
employment with the Company ceases by reason of Retirement, the
Option (to the extent it has not previously been exercised and is
exercisable at the time of cessation) may be exercised within
ninety (90) days after the date of the Optionee's Retirement.

          12.  Time of Cessation of Service.  For the purposes of
this Agreement, the Optionee's employment shall be deemed to have
ceased on the earlier of (a) the date when the Optionee's
employment in fact ceased or (b) except in the case of
Retirement, the date when the Optionee gave or received written
notice that his or her employment is to cease.

          13.  Nontransferability.  The Option shall be
exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee
or the Optionee's guardian or legal representative and shall be
nontransferable, except that the Optionee may transfer all or any
part of the Option by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any attempted
alienation, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, attachment,
execution or similar process, whether voluntary or involuntary,
with respect to all or any part of the Option or any right
thereunder, shall be null and void and, at the Company's option,
shall cause all of the Optionee's rights under this Agreement to
terminate.

          14.  Effect of Exercise.  Upon exercise of all or any
part of the Option, the number of shares of Stock subject to the
Option under this Agreement shall be reduced by the number of
shares with respect to which such exercise is made.


<PAGE>
          15.  Exercise of Option.  The option may be exercised
by delivering to the Company (a) a written notice of exercise in
substantially the form prescribed from time to time by the
Administrator and (b) full payment of the Exercise Price for each
share of Stock purchased under the Option.  Such notice shall
specify the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the
Option is exercised and shall be signed by the person exercising
the Option.  If the Option is exercised by a person other than
the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by proof,
satisfactory to the Company, of such person's right to exercise
the Option.  The Purchase Price shall be payable (i) in U.S.
dollars in cash (by check), (ii) by delivery of shares of Stock
registered in the name of the Optionee having a Fair Market Value
at the time of exercise equal to the amount of the Purchase Price
or (iii) any combination of the payment of cash and the delivery
of Stock.

          16.  Withholding Taxes.  The Company may require the
Optionee to deliver payment, upon exercise of the Option, of any
withholding taxes (in addition to the Purchase Price) with
respect to the difference between the Purchase Price and the Fair
Market Value of the Stock acquired upon exercise, in cash or some
other form satisfactory to the Company.

          17.  Issuance of Shares.  Subject to the foregoing
conditions, the Company, as soon as reasonably practicable after
receipt of a proper notice of exercise and without transfer or
issue tax or other incidental expense to the person exercising
the Option, shall deliver to such person at the principal office
of the Company, or such other location as may be acceptable to
the Company and such person, one or more certificates for the
shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is exercised. 
Such shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable and shall be
issued in the name of such person.  However, at the request of
the Optionee, such shares may be issued in the names of the
Optionee and his or her spouse (a) as joint tenants with right of
survivorship, (b) as community property or (c) as tenants in
common without right of survivorship.

          18.  Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of Shares.  If
the Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of shares of the Stock
acquired pursuant to exercise of the Option on or before the
later of (a) the date two years after the Grant Date or (b) the
date one year after issuance of such shares to the Optionee upon
exercise of the Option, the Optionee shall immediately notify the
Company in writing of such disposition.  The Optionee agrees that
the Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the
Company on the compensation income recognized by the Optionee
from the early disposition by payment in cash or out of the
current earnings paid to the Optionee.



<PAGE>
          19.  Rights as a Stockholder.  Neither the Optionee nor
any other person entitled to exercise the Option shall have any
rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Stock
subject to the Option until a certificate for such shares has
been issued to him or her following the exercise of the Option.

          20.  Lock-Up.  In the event that the Company files a
registration statement with respect to an underwritten public
offering under the Act in which any class of the Company's equity
securities is to be offered, the Optionee shall not effect any
public sale or distribution of any shares of the Stock or any of
the Company's other equity securities, or of any securities
convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for such
securities, during the period beginning thirty (30) days prior to
the filing of such registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and ending on such date after such
registration statement has become effective as shall be specified
by the managing underwriter of such public offering.

          21.  Notices.  Any notice to the Company contemplated
by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be addressed to
it in care of its ____________________________, 767 Monterey Pass
Road, Monterey Park, California 91754-0006, or such other address

the Administrator's determinations shall be conclusive and
binding on all interested persons.

          NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

          1.   Definitions and Incorporation.  Unless otherwise
defined herein or the context otherwise requires, the capitalized

made a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.  The
Optionee hereby acknowledges that he or she has received a copy
of the Plan.

          2.   Grant of Option.  Pursuant to the Plan, the
Company hereby grants to the Optionee as of the date hereof the

          8.  Exercise Following Death or Disability.  If the
Optionee's employment with the Company ceases by reason of the
Optionee's death or Disability, of if the Optionee dies after
cessation of employment or service but while the Option would
have been exercisable hereunder, the Option (to the extent it has
not previously been exercised and is exercisable at the time of
cessation) may be exercised within one year after the date of the
Optionee's death or cessation by reason of Disability.  In the
case of death, the exercise may be made by his or her
representative or by the person entitled thereto under the
Optionee's will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided 
<PAGE>
that such representative or such person consents in writing to
abide by and be subject to the terms of the Plan and this
Agreement and such writing is delivered to the President or
Chairman of the Company.

          9.  Exercise Following Retirement.  If the Optionee's
employment with the Company ceases by reason of Retirement, the
Option (to the extent it has not previously been exercised and is
exercisable at the time of cessation) may be exercised within
ninety (90) days after the date of the Optionee's retirement.

          10.  Time of Cessation of Service.  For the purposes of
this Agreement, the Optionee's employment or service shall be
deemed to have ceased on the earlier of (a) the date when the
Optionee's employment or service in fact ceased or (b) except in
the case of Retirement, the date when the Optionee gave or
received written notice that his or her employment is to cease.

          11.  Nontransferability.  The Option shall be
exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee
or the Optionee's guardian or legal representative and shall be
nontransferable, except that the Optionee may transfer all or any
part of the Option by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any attempted
alienation, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, attachment,
execution or similar process, whether voluntary or involuntary,
with respect to all or any part of the Option or any right
thereunder, shall be null and void and, at the Company's option,
shall cause all of the Optionee's rights under this Agreement to
terminate.

          12.  Effect of Exercise.  Upon exercise of all or any
part of the Option, the number of shares of Stock subject to the
Option under this Agreement shall be reduced by the number of
shares with respect to which such exercise is made.

          13.  Exercise of Option.  The option may be exercised
by delivering to the Company (a) a written notice of exercise in
substantially the form prescribed from time to time by the
Administrator and (b) full payment of the Exercise Price for each
share of Stock purchased under the Option.  Such notice shall
specify the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the
Option is exercised and shall be signed by the person exercising
the Option.  If the Option is exercised by a person other than
the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by proof,
satisfactory to the Company, of such person's right to exercise
the Option.  The Purchase Price shall be payable (i) in U.S.
dollars in cash (by check), (ii) by delivery of shares of Stock
registered in the name of the Optionee having a Fair Market Value
at the time of exercise equal to the amount of the Purchase Price 
or (iii) any combination of the payment of cash and the delivery
of Stock.

<PAGE>
          14.  Withholding Taxes.  The Company may require the
Optionee to deliver payment, upon exercise of the Option, of any
withholding taxes (in addition to the Purchase Price) with
respect to the difference between the Purchase Price and the Fair
Market Value of the Stock acquired upon exercise, in cash or some
other form satisfactory to the Company.

          15.  Issuance of Shares.  Subject to the foregoing
conditions, the Company, as soon as reasonably practicable after
receipt of a proper notice of exercise and without transfer or
issue tax or other incidental expense to the person exercising
the Option, shall deliver to such person at the principal office
of the Company, or such other location as may be acceptable to
the Company and such person, one or more certificates for the
shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is exercised. 
Such shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable and shall be
issued in the name of such person.  However, at the request of
the Optionee, such shares may be issued in the names of the
Optionee and his or her spouse (a) as joint tenants with right of
survivorship, (b) as community property or (c) as tenants in
common without right of survivorship.

          16.  Rights as a Stockholder.  Neither the Optionee nor
any other person entitled to exercise the Option shall have any
rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Stock
subject to the Option until a certificate for such shares has
been issued to him or her following the exercise of the Option.

          17.  Lock-Up.  In the event that the Company files a
registration statement with respect to an underwritten public
offering under the Act in which any class of the Company's equity
securities is to be offered, the Optionee shall not effect any
public sale or distribution of any shares of the Stock or any of
the Company's other equity securities, or of any securities
convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for such
securities, during the period beginning thirty (30) days prior to
the filing of such registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and ending on such date after such
registration statement has become effective as shall be specified
by the managing underwriter of such public offering.

          18.  Notices.  Any notice to the Company contemplated
by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be addressed to
it in care of its ____________________________, 767 Monterey Pass
Road, Monterey Park, California 91754-0006, or such other address
as the Company may specify in a notice to the Optionee; and any
notice to the Optionee shall be in writing and shall be addressed
to him or her at the address on file with the Company on the date
hereof or at such other address as he or she may hereafter
designate in writing.  Notice shall be deemed to have been given
upon receipt or, if sooner, five (5) days after such notice has
been deposited, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, 

<PAGE>
return receipt requested, in the United States mail addressed to
the address specified in the immediately preceding sentence.

          19.  Interpretation.  The interpretation, construction,
performance and enforcement of this Agreement and of the Plan
shall lie within the sole discretion of the Administrator, and
the Administrator's determinations shall be conclusive and
binding on all interested persons.

          20.  Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws
(not the law of choice of laws) of the State of California.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has
executed this Agreement, in the case of the Company by its duly
authorized officer, as of the day and year first above written.

    Corporation from time to time, upon such terms and for such
    considerations as may be lawful.

    shall hold office until his death, resignation or removal, or until
    his successor is elected at an annual or a special meeting of the

    <PAGE>
    office.

    allow indemnification of any agent for any acts or omissions or
    transactions from which such agent may not be indemnified under
    applicable California law or to deny indemnification when applicable
    California law requires indemnification.
