New windows can dramatically enhance your home’s aesthetic and efficiency. But it is important to choose the right window for your specific needs.
From classic double hung to contemporary sliding windows, Pella offers designs that fit varying tastes. They are also energy efficient, decreasing your utility bills by up to $215 per year.
Fiberglass
PJ Fitzpatrick offers replacement windows crafted from durable fiberglass. This material is an excellent choice for Long Island because it’s extremely weather resistant and easy to maintain. It’s also more energy efficient than vinyl.
Unlike vinyl, fiberglass won’t soften or melt under extreme temperatures. The material is also stronger than vinyl composites. This is because the frames are constructed with a thermoset fiberglass that’s not susceptible to warping or rotting.
Fiberglass windows are available in a wide variety of colors and frame options. They’re designed to complement any home’s aesthetic while maximizing energy efficiency. In addition, the fusion welded frames and sashes are incredibly strong and durable. This makes them a smart option for older homes. You can also choose an optional krypton gas fill to maximize energy savings.
Composite
Replacing single pane windows with double or triple pane window replacements can reduce energy consumption and save homeowners money on their utility bills. They can also provide greater comfort in your home. These windows offer a pocket of insulation between the inside and outside of your home which slows the transfer of hot or cold air. This means that your heating and cooling system will have to run less often, lowering your energy bills year-round.
Composite replacement windows are made from a mixture of polymer plastics and recycled wood to create a strong, stable frame that can be stained in a wide variety of color options. These colors allow for a range of interior finishes that can match your home’s existing style and decor.
One advantage of composite is that it doesn’t swell or shrink in response to seasonal temperature changes like vinyl can. This gives your composite window a longer life and greater durability.
