Most
homes built before the 1960’s were built with wood windows. These
windows help maintain a home's authenticity. Once you remove a wood
window and replace it with a vinyl, aluminum or composite wood you
change the look and feel of your home.
Many window manufacturers are stating that there products are more
durable and last longer than a wood window. The truth is that a wood
window that is properly maintained will long outlast a vinyl or
aluminum window.
Window companies are also stating that their windows are more energy
efficient. Research has been done and it shows that most
traditionally designed wood-frame buildings lose more heat through
the roof and un-insulated walls than through the windows. A wood
window that is properly maintained and weather stripped is an energy
efficient window.
Many old wood windows can be repaired. The windows are made of
multiple parts and these parts can sometimes be repaired or
replaced.
