Window Materials Information:

• ALUMINUM – Aluminum windows are a lightweight, yet strong alternative to more expensive wood windows. They are corrosion-resistant and offer great performance in many climates.
• VINYL – Vinyl windows are constructed from durable plastics and are energy efficient. They don’t ever require painting because they don’t fade, peel, or rot.
• WOOD – Wood windows provide a wealth of natural beauty, but require more maintenance than aluminum or vinyl windows. Each species of wood features a range of characteristics offering detailed touches of warmth and elegance.
