The image on this page is actually a look inside a composite window frame as well as the window pane. If you look close enough, you can see the small details that make it look like real wood. However, the faux wood material is a composite based material that will last much longer than any real wood window frame could ever dream of.
If you never saw a composite window cut in half, you would most likely never have been able tell that is is not made out of wood. The image also shows you how a double pane composite window works. There is a small air barrier between the two panes. This is where certain gases are injected and sealed up within to help with energy efficiency.
Have you had other window companies come out to give you an estimate and start using terms like composite windows that you don’t understand? Did they make it seem like this was your only option and that it was a new technology that you had to have?
Do you want to keep the wood windows inside your home but have a fresh, clean look on the outside and are wondering how on earth to do that? That’s where a composite window comes in! Composites is not a new technology at all. You can find composites everywhere from the fillings in your teeth to the bumper on your car, to your shoes! A composite simply means something has been made using more than one substance.
Vinyl windows are a composite of potentially several substances. These are very common windows and the least expensive to purchase, especially when replacing many windows. Unlike your old aluminum frames with the clear, leaky single pane glass you are replacing, vinyl windows do not expand and contract with hot and cold temperatures.
This allows for far less leakage and gaps over time. You will find mostly vinyl windows on moderate to low cost homes. The downside of having vinyl framed windows is that because they are so lightweight they have to be made extremely thick, and although they don’t expand and contract like aluminum does, they still have issues with it happening in climates where there are extreme fluctuations of temperature.
The other drawback is most vinyl frames come only in white or beige because darker colored vinyl frames will warp in hot temperatures. Vinyl windows might not be the best choice if you live in Phoenix, Arizona!
However, about 5 years ago, Fiberglass composites began to show up on the market. At Salt Lake City Windows, we are proud to announce we were one of the first companies to offer this resilient and tough composite window. In the beginning, because so few companies were making them it seemed to take forever to order a fiberglass composite window!
The process was not common but the advantages of fiberglass windows is that they conduct very little heat or cold and it is stronger than vinyl and does not expand or contract in fluctuating temperatures like vinyl and aluminum do. The fiberglass being used is similar to that of a car bumper! Currently there are many fiberglass options including one made with a polyester resin that allows you to paint the frames any color you like, which is something you cannot do with vinyl.
Although harder to come by and more expensive, wood still remains the ideal. You can have aluminum covered wood frames, vinyl that looks just like wood and even have a wood stained look in a fiberglass frame. You can also have a wood interior and a vinyl or fiberglass exterior as well, giving you the wood look inside and a crisp, clean line outside. At Salt Lake City Windows, our goal is to make you happy no matter how you want your windows!
