Single Hung

Single hung windows slide open from the bottom while the top sash remains stationary for increased weather resistance.

Casement

Casement windows are hinged on the side and crank outward for ideal ventilation, energy efficiency and weatherability.

Geometric

WINDOW MATERIALS

Vinyl

Vinyl windows provide durable, low-maintenance performance that is weather resistant, does not rot or decay, and resists damaging insect infestation. Vinyl does not require painting, staining, or refinishing. It is an excellent insulator and helps make homes more thermally efficient and comfortable. Compared to other materials, vinyl windows are a cost-effective choice for maintaining project budgets.

Fiberglass

If you are planning a project with large windows in mind, fiberglass is extremely strong and can hold expansive pieces of glass. Fiberglass windows and doors are low-maintenance and resist swelling, rotting, warping and corrosion. They do not require repainting like wood, but the material is paintable if you prefer to change colors down the road. Fiberglass windows are doors are very energy efficient with low thermal conductivity in your home, for year-round comfort you can rely on.

Fiberglass Clad Wood

Fiberglass clad wood window frames are clad on the outside with fiberglass that helps to protect them from the elements. This results in longer-lasting windows, with less wear and tear and warping over the years. On the inside of the home, you still get the classic wooden look, which can be stained or painted to match the rest of the décor in the home. With a little bit of routine maintenance, you can make your clad wood windows last for a very long time. Typically, wooden window frames will be on the higher end when it comes to price, so keep that in mind when you are making your decision.

Aluminum

Aluminum window profiles have become the preferred choice in modern construction due to their light weight, high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and diverse design options. If you are looking for energy-efficient thermal aluminum window profiles or high-end, aesthetically pleasing wood grain transfer aluminum window profiles, aluminum is a good choice. They’re lightweight, don’t warp, and last for decades if installed right.

Composite

Composite windows use reclaimed wood fibers from the wood window manufacturing process to manufacture Fibrex windows, reducing waste. By reinforcing the plastic with wood, composite windows that are durable, energy-efficient, fade-resistant, and twice as strong as extruded vinyl. For homeowners or builders who are looking for a more affordable window or door but want improved durability, energy efficiency and aesthetic qualities, Fibrex windows are a great choice. They’re a unique middle-of-the-road option between vinyl and higher-priced choices like clad wood or fiberglass.

Aluminum Clad Wood

Light yet strong, aluminum-clad windows resist weathering and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance and maintaining their appearance over time. Aluminum frames also require minimal upkeep, allow for larger panes of glass and maximizes natural light and views while offering a sleek, modern aesthetic. With advancements in technology, aluminum windows now feature thermal breaks that significantly improve insulation, reducing energy costs.
