If you’ve been looking at replacement windows recently, you know there are a number of materials available in terms of frames. There are economical vinyl windows, and there are weather-resistant windows like fiberglass. (Aluminum windows are still on the market, but we don’t recommend them because aluminum is soft and doesn’t hold up well in Minneapolis climate conditions.) But if you’re like some of our prospective clients, you have your heart set on genuine wood windows.
While there are several lines of high quality, energy-efficient fiberglass and vinyl windows that replicate the look of wood, we understand the appeal of real wood, and that’s one reason we’ve partnered with Weather Shield® to offer wood and wood-clad windows.
Just look at this window combination below – fixed windows above, awning windows below. The wood window frames coordinate beautifully with the other wood surfaces on the interior of the home plus they reflect the gorgeous natural beauty outside.
Real wood has an elegance that replicated material cannot match. And while wood windows require more upkeep than other options like maintenance-free fiberglass or vinyl, Weather Shield® offers a wood windows with exterior aluminum cladding in about 50 different finish options, so you get the beauty of wood indoors without a lot of upkeep time and expense. And if you’re concerned about home value, generally speaking homes with genuine wood windows will command a higher price than those with comparable windows of another material.
Why Weather Shield®? Other window manufacturers offer wood windows, but we recommend Weather Shield® for a number of reasons:
