Wood, Aluminum and Vinyl Replacement Windows

In this short article, we are going to talk about the differences between wood

, vinyl and aluminum windows and doors.

First lets deal with the wood products. They are made by a variety of manufacturers, and are a beautiful finished product. Unfortunately, they tend to be expensive and are not well suited for South Florida, although you do see them in higher end properties. Some wood windows do, however, meet the Federal Energy Star requirements for a tax rebate because of woods natural insulating quality.

The next choice is vinyl. Vinyl windows have been around for about 40 years and started as wood windows with a vinyl surface applied. Now most of the window frame itself is made of Vinyl. In South Florida vinyl has not been as popular in the Midwest. There seems to be a preconception on the homeowners part that the vinyl will not hold up well in our sun. The one advantage vinyl does have is that is meets the Federal Energy Star

requirements for a tax rebate because of its insulating qualitys, which are similar to wood.

By far, the most popular window frames in South Florida are aluminum. It is available in several colors and most homeowners associate a metal

window with long life and durability.

One thing you need to keep in mind is what is used to hold the window frame together. If you are in a salt environment, and you don't have to be

directly on the beach to be in that environment, your manufacturer needs to be using Stainless steel fasteners and hardware to put the window

together.
