4 Advantages of Composite Replacement Windows

Your legacy is what you leave behind for others, and Baby Boomers are not pleased that their legacy may be landfills full of plastic. Composite replacement windows are the environmentally friendly choice for the people who care about promoting material sustainability for ecological balance.

“A high-end, well-made vinyl window with solid installation is hard to beat from the overall price and value perspective,” says Replacement Window Reviews. But even if they cost a bit extra up-front, composite windows may realize more long-term savings than vinyl replacement windows.

Composite Windows: The Right Stuff

Composite windows’ raw materials can include recycled wood fiber. During the manufacturing process, composite windows release lower volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere than aluminum and are more energy-efficient. Also, because they are stronger, less material is needed for composite windows manufacturing.

The advantages of composite replacement windows include:

1. Cost vs. Value – Vinyl replacement windows range in price from $200 to $700 per installed window. Composite replacement windows range in price from $325 to $1,100 per installed window. With enhanced energy performance, composite windows can save on heating and cooling costs in the long run.
2. Energy Efficiency – The numbers are better than good: composite replacement windows have a thermal performance value up to 50% better than Energy Star® minimum requirements and a structural performance up to 600% better.
3. Strength – Composite windows are still-new technology, but it is estimated they are strong enough to last up to 30 years.
4. Style – Composite replacement windows offer a variety of colors and finishes. Starmark® custom bay and bow windows, for example, come in attractive birch or oak veneers.
