Tips for Making Windows Last

July 7, 2017

When you invest in your home and purchase new windows, you want them to last! So what can you do to make your Thousand Oaks, CA windows last as long as they should, if not longer? Here are a few items to consider.

  1. Choose the Right Materials

When it comes to windows, there are a number of different materials from which to choose. While all of the materials have their benefits, when it comes to long-lasting windows, it is hard to beat vinyl. Vinyl is a popular window material because the plastic compound is made to last. It won’t corrode, rust, chip, warp, or peel. You can enjoy all of the benefits of long lasting windows without doing anything to the windows in order to help them last longer. Fiberglass and aluminum are also long lasting without maintenance that goes along with other materials.

  1. Consider Wood-Clad

If you just love the look of wood and you can’t imagine having windows in any other material, you might want to consider wood-clad windows. Wood is beautiful, you’ve got that right. But in Thousand Oaks, CA, it has plenty of sunshine and rain to contend with. If you don’t maintain it well, it won’t last. In order to get that wood-look without the maintenance, choose another material that will give you a durable exterior that lasts. You can then put wood on the inside of the home to give it the warm look you enjoy.

  1. Cover the Windows

No matter what window material you choose, windowpanes can break. If you have kids nearby that like to play ball or a nasty storm coming your way, protecting your windows is key to protecting the integrity of your home. Think about exterior shutters that you can close in order to protect your home when extra protection is warranted.

  1. Weather Stripping

You don’t want your windows to leak after years of use and you can keep them efficient by caulking and weather stripping in order to seal any cracks that might appear. When you do this every few years, you will achieve a gasket-like seal that keeps your home energy efficient for the long haul.
