Window Replacement Frame Materials For Annandale Homes
Adelphia Exteriors offers a range of window frame material solutions. Notably, this includes fiberglass, vinyl, and wood materials. There are pros and cons to each option. Below is a review of these three popular window replacement frame materials.
Fiberglass
So, what are the benefits of fiberglass window frames? Well, they are incredibly durable. They can last for as long as 50 years. The durability of fiberglass window frames is also more predictable than wood. Additionally, they are easy to customize just the way you want for optimized curb appeal.
Vinyl
Vinyl window frames are a common solution due to their affordability. They are (on average) more affordable than fiberglass and wood window frames. We recommend this solution for Annandale residents who want a dependable solution but also desire to save on the initial materials and installation cost.
Wood
There is a reason wood has been one of the most popular window frame solutions for decades — they are dependable. In fact, they may last for 60 years in some cases, despite the unpredictably humid climate in Annandale, VA. You can easily paint and customize them the way you want over time as well.
How Do I Know When To Replace My Windows?
Windows typically last between 15 and 30 years. If your windows are more than a couple of decades old, then it is time to order a professional inspection to see if upgraded windows are necessary. There are additional signs that you can check for to determine the condition of your windows. Below is a review of the most common signs.
Energy Bills Are Increasing Each Month
Higher monthly energy costs are one of the first signs you may notice with windows that are not performing their intended duty. In some cases, energy bills are as much as 15% higher or more with outdated and damaged windows.
Current Window Frames Are Rotting Or Warping
Window frame rot occurs due to water and moisture exposure over an extended amount of time. Warping can also occur due to moisture; although it is often the result of general aging as well. Regardless of the cause, rot and warping are huge concerns.
You Are Unable To Easily Open Or Shut Your Windows
You may find it difficult to open and close your windows once they are aged and damaged. This is a sign that you should replace them.
Condensation Is Building Up Within The Window Panes
Annandale is home to a humid environment. Consequently, condensation between window panes may occur with damaged windows. This is the result of an improper air seal.

Home Value Immediately Increases

Vast Improvement To The Aesthetics Of Your Home
