Materials to Watch For

There are a lot of materials in use today, and while they all have their merits, even metal, some simply perform better than others. Looking to pick the right material for your needs? Our top picks for quality window materials include:

• Vinyl windows. Very middle of the road in price, vinyl offers a lot in the efficiency market and are very low-maintenance. It’s kind of the best all-around type and we tend to recommend them to most clients.
• Fiberglass composite. Newer fiberglass composite windows tend to cost a little bit more than vinyl, but offer even more advantages in efficiency and durability.
• Wood windows. Wood windows can be constructed to be fairly efficient, but they tend to be higher maintenance and higher cost than all other options. Still, they’re downright gorgeous.

Metal windows, like aluminum, still get an honorable mention for being very affordable and pretty resilient and long-lived, but they don’t do so well on the energy-efficiency front so they lose points here.
