Window Materials Matter
Window frame materials differ in both insulation and durability:
- Fiberglass and vinyl frames are the best insulators.
- Wood is a close second. Look for composite wood frames. They are easier to maintain and more durable because they do not expand and contract with weather shifts.
Aluminum and other metals are poor insulators. Even with a "thermal break," metal frames are not a great choice.
