Fife Replacement Windows Company
There is no wood window on the market with a lifetime warranty. The basic problem is that wood rots. They just can't count on it to last. It also doesn't have the insulating value of vinyl and aluminum because both of those can be filled with some type of insulation like foam. Condensation is inevitable, especially when your house is well insulated. The condensation drips down the inside of the glass and causes the water to collect on the wood sash. Wood gives you maintenance headaches and premature death of your Fife windows.
In any climate aluminum windows are not really a good choice either. Aluminum conducts heat and cold so they don't offer the insulation value of the same style window built with insulated vinyl.
I always recommend vinyl replacement windows. Within the classification of "vinyl replacement windows" there are high quality vinyl and low quality vinyl components used in a variety of windows. Make sure that your are only considering virgin vinyl. Recycled vinyl is not good in replacement windows and is really not a green product. Using reground vinyl creates instability within the vinyl because the polymers are trying to get back to their original shape. In the sun various reground vinyls will crack or break during expansion and contraction.
It is no coincidence that the only replacement windows that currently meet the proposed Energy Star Standards for 2015 are all premium vinyl windows.
