Aluminum Frame Windows

While vinyl windows have become the most popular choice for new construction and replacement windows, aluminum framed windows still have their place.

Aluminum windows are functional, stylish and require little in the way of maintenance. They are strong, yet lightweight, and are highly adaptable to a wide variety of needs. Here are some of their additional positive attributes:

• Aluminum is easily manipulated for custom and/or unique window shapes.
• High performance aluminium windows meet or exceed energy efficiency standards.
• The narrow frames maximize views and compliment the clean lines of modern home design.
• They can be custom painted. This is a great way to match other aluminum components to your home, such as the garage or sliding doors.
• While aluminum windows are often more expensive than vinyl windows, they are considerably more affordable than wood or steel windows.

One popular option is the clear anodized aluminum window frame. Anodizing the aluminum not only gives the frame a distinctive beauty, it also creates a tough and corrosion-resistant finish that will extend the life of your window frame.

Aluminum framed windows are available in the same window types as vinyl windows .

• Insulated glass window units

Types of Vinyl Windows

While vinyl windows have been around since World War II, they didn’t take hold in the U.S. market until the 1990s. Since then, they’ve become the preferred window choice for discerning homeowners. Here are the the types of vinyl windows we can install in your home:

Single Hung

This is the basic vinyl window option. With single hung windows, the bottom sash moves up and down, while the top sash stays fixed. Single-hung windows are a great choice for rooms that face walkways, porches or patios, since they don’t protrude out.

Double Hung

Double hung windows can be operated from both the bottom and top sash. Both are also usually able to tilt in to clean or ventilate rooms.

Picture Windows

Picture windows are non-operable windows that help eliminate the framing and increase window views. Picture windows can really open up a room if you are looking for a clean frameless look.

Casement Windows

Casement windows are also an excellent choice for people looking for clear views of the outdoors, but in this case the windows can be opened by cranking out horizontally to allow for ventilation and even to pass through (in emergency situations).

Project-Out / Awning Windows

Project-out, or awning windows, project out from the bottom. They are often used in bathrooms and have gained in popularity recently since vinyl window manufacturers have started to offer them.

Horizontal Slider Windows

Horizontal slider windows open with the sash sliding left or right. These windows are popular in sunrooms and contemporary style homes.

Wood Window

While there are other newer styles of windows homeowners have to choose from, wood windows (standard or custom made) are still a popular choice for those looking for a more traditional exterior appearance to their home.

Wood windows usually come unfinished, so they can be painted or stained to fit the homeowner’s needs. However, you also have the option of ordering wood windows already primed and ready to be painted, or simply pre-painted.

Wood windows have terrific insulating properties and are relatively resistant to the effects of temperature. That said, they are also very susceptible to moisture. And since wood is a natural product, that means homeowners need to keep their wood replacement windows sealed by painting or staining them on a regular basis. So, the trade-off for that traditional beauty is ongoing maintenance.

Wood windows are available in the same types as vinyl windows.

Prices vary, depending on the brand and quality. Additional options such as high-performance glass, decorative inserts, or exotic woods also increase the final price. But if those relatively minor drawbacks are not enough to make you shy away from wood windows, and you are willing to put in the occasional work to keep them looking great, wood windows are a thing of beauty!
