Advantages of Wood Windows

Wood windows are a beautiful choice for nearly any home. But beyond their beauty, wood windows offer a number of benefits. They include:

• Customizability – Wood windows can be painted in any color making these the best option for unique color choices. Fiberglass and vinyl windows tend to have fewer color options.
• Classic Style – Wood windows have a timeless look that fits nearly any home style. That’s why they’re great for historic renovations, as well as new construction.

Disadvantages of Wood Windows

Although this type of window looks great, wood windows do require more maintenance and can be less cost-effective. Some downfalls of wood windows include:

• Maintenance – Wood windows are prone to rot, and that’s why they must be properly sealed. Yearly inspections, paint retouching, and seal repairs are necessary for long-lasting performance.
• Prone to Swelling – Wood naturally swells in high humidity. Therefore, in summer, wood windows can be more difficult to slide open.
• Costly – Replacement wood windows tend to cost more than fiberglass or vinyl windows.

Wood Windows vs. Fiberglass or Vinyl Windows

Wood windows tend to perform similarly to vinyl and fiberglass windows in terms of efficiency. New windows – no matter the frame material – can significantly improve insulation.

Yet, beyond efficiency, there are three factors that separate these types of windows. They include maintenance, cost and customizability.

• Maintenance – Many fiberglass and vinyl windows are considered “no maintenance.” They need very little upkeep. Wood windows, on the other hand, do require periodic maintenance, including paint or stain retouching and seal repair.
• Customization – Wood windows are available in any color of paint or stain. Therefore, if you need a unique color option, wood windows are the best choice. Fiberglass and vinyl windows, on the other hand, have more limited color options.
• Cost – Wood windows tend to be more costly, and can add $150 or more per window to the cost of installation. Vinyl windows tend to be more budget-friendly.
