As THE replacement window company in the Minneapolis area, our goal is to provide the very best in energy-efficient window solutions for each of our customers. So it’s no surprise that one of the common questions we’re asked when we meet with a home or business owner for the first time is, ‘What is the best type of window for our area?’
It’s an easy question to answer: There isn’t one. The best window for each home varies, depending on a variety of factors. Of course, budget is a main issue, but so is home style as well as the priorities of the homeowner. That’s one of the reasons we offer windows from several companies, unlike many of our competitors. We can tell you, however, that unless you own an historic home with its original wood windows, wood window frames aren’t on our list of top recommendations.
Fiberglass windows and doors from Marvin
Often as we’re working with prospective customers to design a window package for them, we will include both fiberglass and vinyl windows. Both of these materials hold up very well to our climate, and both require virtually no exterior maintenance. And the ones we offer are both good insulators. So if getting to skip the regular repainting or staining as well as saving on your energy bills is important, either of these would work. And both are fairly equal in terms of eco-friendly.
But there are significant differences between fiberglass and vinyl replacement windows. If cost is at the top of your list in priorities, we’d likely recommend vinyl windows.
The bottom line is which window is best for you and your home depends on a number of elements. And if you’re in the market for energy-efficient windows, we’d love to sit down with you and discuss the pros and cons of each type of frame and make suggestions that will address your needs and wants.
