Windows are one of the most important parts of your home. They bring in natural light, help keep us cool with airflow, and can greatly improve the interior and exterior look of any house. Wood is a great material to use for the construction of windows. It has a natural richness and is truly unique because no two pieces of wood are alike. Learn more about the features and benefits of wood windows and why they may be the perfect choice for your home.
Here are three reasons to choose wood windows and doors:
It’s a strong and long-lasting material
“You know that wood can last, if it’s installed right and is put into a building that supports the longevity of the window.”
It’s a renewable resource
Wood is also a renewable resource, making it one of the most sustainable options available to you.
It’s guaranteed to be unique
“Wood is a natural material, so every piece of wood is going to be different with different grain to it. That’s one of the beauties of it—you can see how that tree grew from that piece of wood,” Wallace said. You don’t get that with plastics or aluminum, or if you paint wood. The grain is still visible if you clear coat or stain wood, which makes it so unique.
“You have a lot of options with wood—that’s just the nature of it. It gives you the ability to do a lot of things and make the windows the way you want them,” he said. There are also different types of wood species that can be used for windows, with some of the most popular being pine, oak, and mahogany.
Why choose wood windows?
When you think about it, wood windows are the oldest type of windows. “Your longest serving windows are wood windows because they didn’t make windows out of anything other than wood for centuries, right?” said Ben Wallace, Manager of Research & Development and Wood Scientist at Marvin.
For most homeowners, knowing when to get your windows replaced can be a big question. Should you replace windows in the summer or winter? Is it all about saving money? Is it a long term investment? Is it about upgrading energy efficiency? All of these and more are prime considerations in deciding when and how to improve your windows; solving comfort, convenience, and maintenance problems are also crucial.
• To help you make the most of window and door replacement projects, here are other things to consider:
Convenience
Do you want to be remodeling during the holidays or when it’s warmer out?
Character
Maybe you are just ready for a change. There is nothing wrong with that. Some people live in their homes for a very long time. Why not enjoy it and remodel it the way you want as opposed to what the resell market wants? New windows will help upgrade your home and your life.
Security
Tired of using wood dowels to lock or prop up your windows? Do your windows even lock anymore? If you have to worry about home security and you have already hired a locksmith to check all of the locks, you may need to replace windows and doors.
You have decided to do your windows.
You’ve got the go-ahead on your window replacement project. Now it’s time for the details, such as:
Marvin’s premier line of fiberglass replacement windows and doors, Infinity, recently won the J.D. Power award for excellence in the Window Design Category. Another reason to remodel with the best fiberglass window on the market.
If your home was built before 1978, there is a good chance it has lead-based paint. In 1978, the federal government banned consumer uses of lead-containing paint, but some states banned it even earlier. Lead from paint, including lead-contaminated dust, is one of the most common causes of lead poisoning.
5 Things About Window Replacement To Help Homeowners
Replacing windows can be involved. Homeowners should choose a window that provides durability and the right look for their house. With multiple choices out there, how can buyers make an educated choice? Homeowners should apply these determinants to decide what replacement window is right for them.
Five factors determine the essence and durability of replacement windows.
Total Performance
Replacement windows and doors should be thermally effective and add to the complete comfort of your home.
Pick a window that meets ENERGY STAR® guidelines and has a .32 or lower U-Value, which measures heat transfer within the window.
Material Strengths
Today, there are many window materials, making it complicated for homeowners to understand which materials best suit their needs.
Replacement windows should be low maintenance, durable, and continue to look good over time. Wood windows look great but will require much more upkeep over time than fiberglass or low-maintenance vinyl alternatives.
Vinyl, the most frequently used material, tends to warp, fade, expand and contract in extreme temperatures, causing seal failures over time.
A better option is pultruded fiberglass for windows, like Infinity from Marvin. Vinyl also expands at higher rates than fiberglass. Because of its incredible durability and strength, fiberglass outperforms all other vinyl windows.
Appearance and Design
Advances in technology have made it possible to purchase high performance, long-lasting replacement windows that look great too.
Look for a narrow window profile. The thinner the profile, the more space can be used for glass, letting in more light and enhancing your view. A replacement window should also blend in seamlessly with your home, so choose a window that complements your interior.
Reliability and Expertise
There are hundreds of window manufacturers in the marketplace today. How do you know who to trust? Will the manufacturer choose still be in business ten years from now if you have a service need?
Choose a window manufacturer who is well-established and has an excellent reputation. Ask around to see who has been satisfied with the installation and service they received when replacing their windows.
Total Value
To ensure the best value, look for a business known for its reliability and expertise and a product that delivers it all – excellent performance, superior materials, and unmatched features and design – all at a competitive price.
Fiberglass vs Wood Windows: What’s the difference?
One of the most important decisionswhen replacing your home’s windowsis choosing the rightmaterial. AswetouchedonintheVinyl vs Fiberglass blogarticle, this can seem overwhelming simply due to thenumberof options available.Here,we’lldiscusstwo of the more popular options,fiberglassand wood, so you can feel confident making the best decision for your home.
Wood windows
Wood has been a popular window material option for centuries due to its abundant supply and the traditional detail it offers. Compared to materials like vinyl, wood is a strong, durable option that resists warping during temperature changes.
Originally made by craftsmen, wood windows were built with an artisan’s touch. Modern wood windows continue to convey a sense of craftsmanship and detail, and are often selected for their rich, traditional appeal. Wood windows also can add charm and beauty to a home.
However, upholding that charm and beauty long-term requires periodic care and preservation. While wood windows offer strength and stability, they tend to require more maintenance and refinishing. Inspecting, sanding, reapplying stain, resealing, and repainting, are all part of owning wood windows. That’s a lot of work.
Wood windows also tend to cost more than other materials, especially when you factor in the cost of maintenance, repair, and eventually, replacement (again).
Is there a way to have the traditional look and character of wood, but more durable and with less maintenance?
Fiberglass windows
Compared to other materials, fiberglass is the strongest material you’ll find for replacement windows. Sincefiberglass windowsdon’t deteriorate or rot, they offer better strength and stability than wood windows, and without the maintenance. Due to the resiliency of the material, fiberglass maintains its shape even in the harshest of climates with regular exposure to temperature variation, wind, rain, or snow. Fiberglass windows expand at virtually the same rate as glass, making them more resistant to leaks and seal failures that can affect long-term performance.
Infinity from Marvin’s Ultrex® fiberglass
While fiberglass is a superior material compared to wood, not all fiberglass windows and doors are the same. Infinity from Marvin’s Ultrex fiberglassis a proprietary composite designed and engineered by Marvin — making our windows truly unique. In fact, when it comes to strength, stability, and durability, Ultrex fiberglass continues to outlast and outperform the competition.
Ultrex fiberglass is 8x stronger than vinyl and 3x stronger than wood/vinyl composites — supporting up to 34,000 pounds. That strength allows for narrower frames, bigger views, and additional sunlight in your home
Ultrex fiberglass is thermally stable, so it expands 87% less than vinyl windows. That stability means Infinity from Marvin’s windows and doors stay tight and true even after extreme temperature swings. By expanding and contracting at nearly the same rate as glass, Infinity windows made with Ultrex are more resistant to leaks and seal failures so you can enjoy your windows for years to come.
The strength of fiberglass windows is important, but Ultrex fiberglass has more than strength — it adds beauty. Infinity’s proprietary acrylic finish is 3x thicker and smoother than the competition. The finish resists scratching and denting and performs so well that Infinity offers dark colors without fear of UV degradation or fading.

As we enter November and the temperature starts to drop in many parts of the US, one thing is certain: Winter is coming. (InsertGame of Thronesjoke here.)
Depending on where you live, that may mean snowfall and subzero temperatures. Regardless, there’s no time like the present to prepare for the cold season — especially asextreme weather conditions become more common.
Business theft is common, and you must always be on alert. If your locks are not secure enough, you may have to deal with someone breaking in and stealing things. It starts with functioning locks in your commercial building.
Windows and doors in good condition provide an extra layer of protection that is much harder for burglars to bypass with traditional locks.
If you are looking to improve the security of your home and cut down on utility bills, then replacement windows may be just what you need. Not only do they provide an additional layer against intruders, but they also keep homes warm in winter or cool during summer with their energy-efficient features!
Why are fiberglass replacement windows better than vinyl replacement windows?
Choosing the right replacement windows for your home can be challenging. There are pros and cons to both fiberglass and vinyl replacement windows.
There are a few reasons why fiberglass replacement windows are generally considered better than vinyl windows. Here are some things to consider when making your decision. First, fiberglass is a much more durable material than vinyl, so fiberglass windows will last longer and maintain their shape and appearance better over time. Additionally, fiberglass is a much better insulator than vinyl, so fiberglass windows will help keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Fiberglass windows can be made to look like wood, which gives them a more classic appearance that many homeowners prefer. Fiberglass windows are known for their durability and energy efficiency, as they are able to withstand extreme temperatures without warping or cracking. They are also low maintenance, as they don’t require painting or staining like wood windows do. However, fiberglass windows can be more expensive than vinyl windows.
We think the more you learn about fiberglass windows vs vinyl windows, the easier your decision will become. The debate between fiberglass and vinyl windows is a long-standing one, with each type of window having its own advantages and disadvantages. When it comes to deciding which type of window is best for your home, it ultimately comes down to a matter of personal preference.
