New Construction Window Recommendation
Comments (29)Ahhh I love a good window discussion! No one but us "window geeks" can get this charged up over something that the rest of the world doesn't give a second thought to until they break, rot, or they want to build a new house. My background comes in Clad wood windows so I can say I was fed the Kool-Aid regarding wood products. I have been converted to see the benefits of vinyl and I must say there is good product out there very able to withstand whatever weather is thrown at it. Lzerarc's name is on his projects at the end of the day and he must ultimately be comfortable with what he is recommending to his customers. Skydawggy and I share the belief that the current vinyl products on the market are built both to perform and look good and we are comfortable recommending them to our clients as well. Will a vinyl window ever beat a wood window for the classic look, custom attributes, and warmth that wood provides? Not likely. Will they stand up to the elements, provide similar performance ratings, and energy efficiency? Sure. Ultimately the homeowner must decide the best fit for their needs based on the information professionals provide. Tank you for the discussion guys.

Comments (4)Comfort View from what I know is a poor window. The Plygems I have been told is not terrible (my opinion of anything Plygems notwithstanding). Do you have a choice in the windows or are they coming as a package with the house? Who is going to install as the installation is just as important as the product and framers traditionally do a poor job of installation. Are you using Double/Single Hungs or Casement windows?...See MoreTreating my new construction coastal home with very shallow windows.

Comments (26)"Many middle class people can’t or don’t want to afford replacing windows again in 10-15 years when many of today’s wood windows fail, but maybe you are the exception." It depends what you buy. Can you post which windows only last 10-15 years? It would be good to know those wood-clad brands so that people can avoid them. I first installed Marvin Ultimates sliding glass door 14 years ago. I live in climate zone 5a, and the sliding glass door faces NW. Today, it looks and performs like the day it was installed. Then 5 years after installing it, I replaced the rest of my home's windows with Marvin Ultimates (casements). Now, at 9 years old, they also look and perform like the day they were installed. I agree, this was an expensive investment in windows. But given what I am seeing so far, they appear like they will have lives of 20 years at the very least. In addition, the previous windows of my home were wood-clad, were 30 years old, a no-name brand that we believe were manufactured locally, and only started to fail about the 28 year mark (except the sliding glass door failed about the 23 years mark but it gets more wear and tear). I don't think people can expect only 10-15 years lives for wood-clad windows if they buy good ones to begin with. Expensive, but over the lives of the windows, less expensive than buying poor quality which, to your point, will likely need to be replaced sooner....See Moremillworkman
