There are a wide variety of window frame choices available on the market today, with the most common materials being wood, fiberglass, aluminum, and vinyl. Each window type comes with different benefits, so it is important not to just look at the cost of the window alone. For example, energy-efficient windows may cost more up front, but can possibly save you money on your energy bills in the long run. Here are some factors to consider when comparing window frame materials.

  • Wood – Wood window frames are relatively inexpensive and offer a traditional appearance that is preferred by some. However, wood is susceptible to warping and rotting after years of moisture exposure and will require periodic sanding and repainting to maintain curb appeal.
  • Fiberglass – Fiberglass can be a good option if having energy efficient windows is your primary concern, however the cost of fiberglass window frames is typically much more than windows with frames of different materials.
  • Aluminum – Metal window frames are a good choice for low-cost and durability, however they do not make for very energy efficient windows as aluminum conducts heat very easily.
  • Vinyl – Vinyl windows tend to be the best of all worlds: they are cost-effective, energy efficient, durable, and low-maintenance as they only need to be wiped down with soapy water to look brand new again.
