Kind of Like Art (but even better!)

Installing quality windows in your Rocklin, CA home is kind of like investing in art: In this case, the value of your home can increase and most certainly your home's appearance will as well if the walls of your home are framed with quality windows. And just like good art, the longer your windows last, the greater value they provide. So what are the longest- lasting windows? Good question! Using the analogy of art, what’s good for you may not be for someone else. It depends on what suits you and your home (but especially your home).



There’s no reason the windows you install in your home won’t last for years. Ultimately it comes down to basic maintenance and upkeep and installing the right window the first time.



New Kid on the Block



Traditionally wooden window frames have been the mainstay of homes for centuries. Your parents and their parents before them probably had wooden windows in their Rocklin, CA home. Thing is, wood can rot, chip, warp, crack and decay after years of exposure to the elements. Of course you can prevent this from occurring by re-finishing, staining or even sanding down the frames. That’s great if you have the time and you’re a do-it-yourselfer. Most homeowners don’t keep up with the upkeep and this can cause your windows to deteriorate within just a few years.



Enter vinyl.



Vinyl windows are like the new kid on the block. Vinyl is made to last. It’s resistant to corrosion and rust, chipping, warping, and peeling. Best of all, you can enjoy these benefits without stressing about performing the maintenance and upkeep. Often it’s just a matter of wiping the frames down with a damp rag.



The Best of the Rest



Another durable option for windows in fiberglass. Similar to vinyl, fiberglass windows won’t rust, warp or corrode and fiberglass is tough on harsh weather. Is fiberglass better than vinyl? It’s like art! It depends on what you like.



At the back of the pack is aluminum. Aluminum windows are more often than not used for commercial construction but they are starting to find themselves used in homes..
