There’s a lot of work that goes into renovating your home’s exterior, and more often than not, that renovation work also includes the installation of new windows. These days, homeowners have a greater variety of window options to choose from than ever before. But how can you decide which one is best for your home? The residential roofing team at Sterling Exteriors in Cincinnati, OH, offers a closer look at three common window types.

There are a few factors homeowners should consider when trying to decide between vinyl, wood, and composite windows:

• Cost: While vinyl windows are generally less expensive than wood or composite, the upfront cost isn’t the only thing you should consider. For example, windows installed by Sterling Exteriors come with lengthy warranties, giving you peace of mind (and saving you money) should a window ever experience a manufacturing issue.
• Style: Style is one area where the differences between vinyl, wood, and composite windows are more easily apparent. While wood is generally viewed as being the best-looking window style, many high-end vinyl and composite windows also offer a good appearance that will blend well with the rest of your home’s exterior. You might need to pay a bit extra to get the style you want, but the result is well worth the investment.
• Performance: Durability and energy efficiency are other key attributes homeowners should consider when selecting windows. Vinyl and composite windows often last for 30 years or more, making them somewhat more durable than wood. In addition, each of the window varieties offered by Sterling Exteriors provides significant energy savings—in fact, their wood and composite windows can reduce your home’s energy use by up to 30%
