Fiberglass Windows Are Energy Efficient With the brutal winters here in Wisconsin, you need windows you can count on to help lower your heating costs. Fiberglass is particularly popular in northern climates because it’s among the most efficient window materials available, especially when paired with advanced glass technology such as double- or triple-glazing and gas infill. When your windows are better at keeping heat and cold out, your home stays more comfortable in every season, all while reducing the strain on your furnace and air conditioner. In fact, the decrease in utility bills helps your investment pay for itself over time. Fiberglass Windows Are Durable The beauty and energy efficiency of this window material doesn’t just last for a few years—thanks to the incredible strength and durability of fiberglass, you can expect your windows to last for decades! The material is resistant to erosion, won’t fade or crack in the sun, and doesn’t warp when exposed to moisture. It’s also less affected by expansion and contraction to help maintain a weather-tight seal in all weather conditions. Best of all, you enjoy all of these durable features with virtually no maintenance. Simply wipe down the fiberglass frame and clean the glass as needed. No repainting or refinishing is ever required. Fiberglass Windows Are Eco-Friendly You help the environment when you install energy-efficient windows, but fiberglass is eco-friendly in other ways as well.

Lori, after 30 year my husband is tired of the maintenance and upkeep wood requires, hence vinyl. Not my first choice but I get it (kinda..). The usual light options are white (Great Lakes brand is called “cream” white and has a tad less grey tint) or a beige which is a darker and starts to look dingy and I can’t imagine that color on all those columns.. The only thing I can think to do is try to find a lighter white for the remaining trim (columns, fascia, garage door, but one still warm enough to compliment the brick, and try to trick the eye away from the cooler white vinyl. Would love to use a 3rd accent color but not sure where that would go with no shutters and no solid front door. Would welcome your suggestions! Windows on Washington, I can’t find any brand that supplies a true cream! Would you know of any? Yes, there are other color options, but they are all darker and that worries me with a darker brick. The brick surround will be wrapped, too; are you saying there are more trim options than window colors and try to match the trim to the existing and keep the white windows? Thank you both so much for your feedback!! Much appreciated.

Are you saying that you want to install replacement windows - pull the original windows and install new ones - or are you saying that you want to keep the original window and install a second window over the original? Also, tempered glass does nothing to improve sound blocking of a window, but thicker glass might depending on how it's done.

Our neighbors have black outside and white inside and is a beautiful modern home…..although it’s probably wood not vinyl. We wanted that look too, I got a bit confused when ordering. I thought just the just the interior grills and sashes would be black and the casing would be white. ( they are wood as well)… not great for dogs nails!) Oops! The whole things were black. Could have been an awful mistake, but it looks good against our light walls. We did get vinyl in the bathrooms white on the interior and black exterior. It works well with our tile… got that right. Here’s a picture of the black windows from inside…it caused sleepless nights a first. I like it now, but we put in temporary blinds( that just stick in with command strips… because we needed privacy and found out that if we screwed holes in the windows, it voided our warranty!) I’ve seen it done in a lot of houses so I don’t think you will be unhappy with the results. I would recommend you look closely at samples of the vinyl windows very closely. I went to see them ( our builder had a sub he recommended). Look at the workmanship closely. The samples I saw were a bit disappointing… there was sloppy silicone caulk and gaps where there shouldn’t have been…we ended up using jeld wen windows instead. Pretty expensive though. Good luck.
