What benefits does each material typically provide and what are some of the latest technology advancements?
Aluminum is typically the least expensive choice and is generally selected for price and in the southern states where cooling is more of a concern than heating. Vinyl provides low maintenance, durability and greater energy efficiency, and does well in virtually all climates. For optimum energy efficiency, homeowners should look for windows with Low-E glass and the ENERGY STAR® label. JELD-WEN now offers Low-E glass as standard for many of its window products and many of the company’s products qualify for the ENERGY STAR rating.
