Wood and vinyl windows
While you are selecting the type of window you want for your house, it can be hard to decide between wood and vinyl. Wood imparts a natural, robust and elegant look to a house- but it needs extra maintenance. Vinyl, on the other hand, comes in a wide range of styles and requires less maintenance. Whereas each one of the two types of windows has its pros and cons, they provide ease of use and energy savings. In addition, they give your home a refreshing feel and appearance.
Wood frames made from real wood are better than most of the other types of windows when it comes to insulating your home. Genuine wood frames offer 400 times more insulation than steel frames and 1800 times more insulation than aluminum frames. The extra insulation provided by real wood can ensure that a home remains cool during summer and warm in winter and can help the homeowner save on utility bills throughout the year. In addition, windows with wood frames are able to block out outdoor sounds better than almost any other type of frame.
But wood frames need more continuous painting, care, and maintenance when compared to other options. Furthermore, they require a bigger initial outlay when buying and installing them. Wooden window frames that are poorly cared for can swell or twist slightly due to moisture.This makes it difficult or even impossible to lower or raise the window.
Vinyl windows have increasingly become popular due to various reasons. The quality of vinyl used can have a long-term effect on the value comfort, and safety of your home. For example vinyl windows, unlike wood windows, do not need to be painted and they are rot and scratch-resistant. These characteristics make vinyl windows to have extra durability and low maintenance costs. Vinyl windows are usually pre-fabricated and this reduces their price significantly and makes them easy to install. Vinyl windows are available in a wide range of colors and they can easily be customized to meet specific needs. For those who are energy conscious, replacing your window with vinyl can assist in lowering the overall cost of heating and cooling your house.However, they might gradually fade and are not designed to absorb stain or paint. Therefore you have no option but to remain with the original color that you purchased. Also because vinyl has a plastic-like appearance, the texture may not be appropriate for every house.
