Windows are one of the most important pieces of your home’s exterior. Well-maintained windows offer a number of benefits for your home, including providing your home with natural light, ventilation, and also increasing your home’s curb appeal. It’s important to ensure that your windows are kept in good repair, and our team is ready to assist! However, if you need to replace your home’s windows but you’re not sure what material you should use, take a look at our guide to learn about the benefits of each window material!
Vinyl Windows
One of the most popular materials that homeowners choose for their window replacements is vinyl. Wood had long been the most popular window material, but vinyl has become more popular over the last few decades. Vinyl windows now control a larger market share than wood, which has increased the number of style options available to homeowners. While the standard is a white finish, any basic colors will be available from black, to gray, to white, and more.
Furthermore, vinyl windows are incredibly energy efficient. If you are interested in increasing the efficiency of your home, replacing your windows is a great place to start! Another benefit of vinyl windows is that they are very low maintenance. If you’re interested in installing windows that you won’t need to worry about, vinyl windows are a wonderful option.
Wood Windows
If you are looking for a window that will truly bolster your home’s curb appeal, wood is the material for you. Wood windows look fantastic, and many homeowners love the aesthetic benefits that they provide for a home. Wooden windows help increase your home’s resale value and function as a selling point for potential buyers.
Wood windows are also highly customizable, meaning that if you have a particular vision in mind for your windows hardware, such as a diamond grid with gold hardware, you can find windows that fit the vision you have in mind for your home!
Wood windows are also incredibly durable. Wood windows are capable of withstanding the elements, as well as warping from extreme heat or cold, which ensures that no matter what the weather is like outside, your home’s interior will stay dry and protected. Wood windows also typically come with an extended warranty, up to 50 years, meaning that once you replace your home’s windows with wood replacements, you may not need to ever worry about replacing them again!
Finally, wood windows are just as maintenace-free as vinyl, meaning the most you will need to do is periodically wash off any exterior grime and ensure you take care of any standing moisture in your window frames after a storm. If you do that, your wood windows will be happy and healthy for years to come!
