From a distance, it can be hard to tell the difference between window types. If you are in the market for new windows, there are a few things to consider. Both manufacturers have a few options when it comes to style, pricing and what is best for your home.

Vinyl windows are the more cost-effective, nearly maintenance-free option. You can customize glass packages and achieve highly energy efficient windows that can also reduce sound transfer.

 

 

Fiberglass windows are more durable, and aesthetically pleasing than vinyl windows. The window frames expand and contract less than vinyl or wood and thus have a longer lifespan. Fiberglass frames are thinner and do not have any visible join lines, which allows more room to let in natural light. Fiberglass windows are a price point above vinyl.

 

 

Wood windows are more of an investment, but can be a great option for maintaining the character of an older home. The interior of the windows can come in unfinished wood (several different specialty options) or pre-stained/prefinished. This interior can transform the interior design of your home and can provide an unmatched warm wood feel. The exterior is a low maintenance aluminum cladding that is offered in an array of colors. Wood window frames also offer more insulation than vinyl frames, but of course, do require some maintenance on the interior to preserve the wood.
