Material:

One of the biggest decisions you will have to make about your windows is the type of material you are looking for. Each material comes with its own list of benefits and disadvantages, so it’s important to familiarize yourself with the strengths of each prior to purchasing:

Wood: Wood is a popular window option due to its natural look and feel. Wood windows come in a wide variety of species and styles, making them a stylish choice for any home. Wood windows are also incredibly easy to customize as you can paint or stain them to match any color you like. The one downside of wood windows is they may require some additional maintenance over time, and aren’t best for homes in highly humid climates.

Vinyl: Vinyl windows are one of the most widely purchased window options on the market and for good reason. Vinyl windows are remarkably energy efficient and can drastically reduce your utility bill, especially when replacing older wooden windows. Vinyl windows expand and contract according to the weather, and typically come with double or triple pane glass making them a great choice for insulating your home. You will also find that vinyl windows come with a surprisingly low price tag.

Fiberglass: Fiberglass is the perfect material for homeowners that love the look of wooden windows, but don’t want to worry about the upkeep or maintenance. Fiberglass windows have a striking resemblance to the look and feel of wooden windows, in some cases, it’s impossible to tell the difference between the two. These windows are also durable and require little maintenance. The one downside to fiberglass windows is that they run on the expensive side, but if you can afford them they are a beautiful option to consider.
