Vinyl vs. Wood Windows - What's Right for My Casper Home?
Vinyl and wood windows are among the most well-liked window materials today. Besides reviewing the pros and cons, how do you know which window material is good for your home?
Choosing frame materials can depend on your needs, like sticking to a certain budget or adding charm to your home.
Pella® replacement windows can take care of both needs. And we’ll partner with you to find the ideal option for your home and wallet during your free, in-home consultation.
Find out more about the benefits of our wood and vinyl windows and how we can customize them for your areas. We offer the most popular styles of windows and patio doors, including double-hung windows.
Benefits of Vinyl Windows
Our sensibly priced vinyl replacement windows have detailed craftsmanship and energy efficiency in a low-maintenance package, giving you satisfaction for years.
Low Maintenance
Vinyl windows don’t need a lot of maintenance, other than cleaning with soap and water. You won’t have to paint or stain your windows every few years. In fact, you’ll never need to repaint them.
Energy Efficient
Vinyl is a fantastic insulator and limits heat and cold.
Depending on the Pella product line you select, you can tailor energy efficiency with:
- Glass options, such as dual- or triple-pane glass with Low-E and argon
- ENERGY STAR®-rated styles that can help you save on energy bills
- Vinyl frame foam insulation
Affordable
Vinyl is generally the most reasonable option when you need to have your windows replaced.
Customizable
There’s more to vinyl than merely white.
Create your own appearance with Pella’s dual-color frames. Choose a distinct color, like black or gray, to enhance your home’s architecture. Our DuraColor™ exterior finishes exceed industry standards for fade resistance1 to help provide long-lasting richness.
Ask your Pella professional how you can further modify your windows with:
- Grilles
- Hardware
- Between-the-glass shades and blinds
Durable
We engineer and test our vinyl windows to resist exposure to sunlight, humidity and temperatures.
Benefits of Wood Windows
Our premium, high-performing styles give your home a cozy feeling that only real wood can provide.
Low Maintenance
Some wood windows need exterior painting and sealing every few years. Avoid those tasks with our exclusive EnduraClad® finishes, which feature interior wood window frames. These aluminum-clad exteriors resist fading and look attractive for years.
Highly Customizable
From material to grille patterns to color, wood windows are very customizable. You can select from contemporary and traditional styles.
With Pella, you can pick from woods like pine, Douglas fir and mahogany. As well as a wide collection of stains, paints and hardware to enhance your home.
Depending on the product line, you can also add:
- Insynctive® technology
- Integrated blinds and shades
Historical Accuracy
If you own a historic home, wood windows can match timeless style while adding contemporary energy efficiency.
Long Lasting
