Wood Window

Wood windows are the gold standard of windows. Highly crafted and gorgeous, they are slowly going out of style due to their high upkeep. Of course wood windows must be painted and maintained. If you want traditional beauty, a high level of craftsmanship and can afford to take proper care of them, then solid wood windows might be for you.

Vinyl Windows

Vinyl Window

Least expensive of window construction type. Perhaps as low as 1/2 the price of wood windows. Very energy efficient frames due to the honeycomb construction of the frame that traps air in chambers. When selecting a vinyl window make sure the frame is heat welded rather than screwed. Vinyl windows come in a limited number of colors and cannot be painted.
