Types of Window Materials We Offer

The main three types of materials we use for windows are:

Vinyl Windows

Vinyl windows are a fantastic choice for many homeowners because they offer a perfect combination of durability, energy efficiency, and affordability. Here’s why they stand out:

Vinyl windows never need painting, staining, or refinishing. They resist fading, cracking, and peeling, making them an excellent long-term investment with minimal upkeep.

Vinyl frames have excellent insulation properties, helping to reduce heat transfer and improve energy efficiency. Vinyl windows come with multi-chambered frames and insulated glass options, keeping your home comfortable year-round and lowering energy costs.

Compared to wood or fiberglass, vinyl windows are often the most budget-friendly option while still providing excellent performance and longevity.

Vinyl is resistant to moisture, rot, and corrosion, making it ideal for all climates. Unlike wood, it won’t warp, swell, or deteriorate over time.

Today’s vinyl windows come in a wide range of colors, finishes, and styles, allowing homeowners to achieve a customized look without sacrificing performance.

Vinyl double-hung windows glide effortlessly, making them easy to open, close, and clean. Many models also feature tilt-in sashes for convenient maintenance.

With their combination of affordability, durability, and energy efficiency, vinyl windows add value to your home and are a smart investment for resale.

Fiberglass Windows

Fiberglass windows are an excellent option for homeowners who want strength, durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance. Fiberglass windows offer the perfect balance of strength, efficiency, and style, making them an ideal choice for any home. Here’s why they stand out:

• Fiberglass resists warping, cracking, and rotting.
• Can withstand extreme temperatures, heavy winds, and moisture without deteriorating.

• Fiberglass naturally insulates very well, helping to reduce heat transfer.
• It also comes with Low-E glass, keeping your home comfortable and reducing energy costs.

• Unlike wood, fiberglass doesn’t require painting, staining, or refinishing.
• The durable finish resists fading, chalking, and peeling, so your windows look great for years with minimal upkeep.

• Available in multiple colors and finishes, including wood-look options for a classic style without the maintenance.

• Designed for easy opening and closing, even after years of use.
• Many models feature tilt-in sashes for hassle-free cleaning.

• Fiberglass windows often last 30+ years with minimal wear and tear.
• A great investment for homeowners looking for longevity and performance.

• Made from sustainable materials and fully recyclable, making them an eco-friendly choice.

Aluminum-clad Wood Windows

Aluminum-clad wood windows are an excellent choice for homeowners who want classic beauty, natural insulation, and long-lasting durability. Here’s why they stand out:

Wood windows offer a warm, natural look that enhances both traditional and modern homes.
• Available in a variety of stains, finishes, and paint colors to complement any style.
• Aluminum-clad exteriors allow for bold, modern colors while maintaining a classic interior aesthetic.

• Wood is a natural insulator, helping to reduce heat loss and improve home comfort.
• Combined with advanced Low-E glass options, wood windows can significantly lower energy bills.
• Aluminum cladding provides an additional protective barrier against the elements.

• Aluminum-clad wood windows have a tough exterior that resists moisture, rot, and extreme weather.
• Unlike traditional all-wood windows, the aluminum exterior prevents warping and decay, extending their lifespan.
• Traditional wood windows require regular painting or staining, but aluminum cladding provides a maintenance-free exterior while keeping the wood interior intact.
• This means you get the beauty of wood inside your home without the hassle of constant upkeep outside.
• Wood-clad windows are available in multiple styles, colors, and finishes, offering greater customization than vinyl or fiberglass.
• Many brands allow for custom grille patterns, hardware, and finishes for a fully personalized look.
• Wood windows add significant value to your home, making them a great investment for resale.
• Their high-end appearance and durability make them a preferred choice for luxury and historic homes.

Advantages of Window Replacement

Replacing your windows is a smart investment that can improve your home in several key ways.

If your windows are drafty, difficult to open, or simply outdated, replacing them can enhance your home’s comfort, efficiency, and appearance.

Here’s why it might be time for an upgrade:

• New windows with advanced insulation and Low-E glass can significantly reduce heat loss in the winter and keep your home cooler in the summer.
• Lower energy bills by reducing the strain on your heating and cooling systems.
• Old or poorly sealed windows can cause drafts and uneven temperatures in your home.
• Modern windows provide better insulation and noise reduction, making your home more comfortable year-round.
• New windows refresh the look of your home, inside and out.
• Aesthetic upgrades can boost your home’s resale value—buyers appreciate modern, energy-efficient windows.
• Newer materials like vinyl, fiberglass, and aluminum-clad wood require less upkeep than older wood or steel windows.
• Many modern windows offer tilt-in sashes for easy cleaning.
• New windows come with stronger locks and impact-resistant glass for added protection.
• If your old windows are hard to open, replacing them ensures easier operation in case of an emergency.

• Modern window technology helps reduce outside noise, creating a quieter, more peaceful home environment.

• Low-E glass options block harmful UV rays, preventing furniture, flooring, and décor from fading over time.
