What Are the Benefits of Composite Windows?

Thinking about composite wood windows for your home, but want to learn more?

Let’s start with the basics:

What are composite windows?

Composite windows are made of several different materials that are combined together. This gives composite windows the look and benefits of several types of windows rolled into one. Composite windows are an excellent choice for homeowners that would like to have the aesthetics wood windows offer with the low maintenance offered by vinyl windows or fiberglass windows.

If you are looking for replacement windows that provide exceptional durability, energy efficiency, aesthetics, and value, composite windows are a good option.

Composite Window Advantages

Composite windows offer a number of advantages that other window varieties do not offer on their own, including:

Low Maintenance – Unlike traditional wood windows, composite windows can offer the appearance of wood windows without the maintenance. Since the exterior surface is not susceptible to rotting or chipping, there is no need to sand, scrape, or paint composite windows.
Energy Efficiency – Composite windows offer exceptionally low air infiltration and are generally manufactured to have an insulating core to decrease the transfer of heat.
Design Choices – A wide variety of color and styling options are generally available along with wood cladding, giving homeowners a large selection of design choices.
Superior Durability – Composite windows offer superior durability to wood windows. They are less susceptible to expansion, contraction, and warping, making them less likely to develop air leakage.
Environmentally Friendly – In addition to providing homeowners with lower energy costs, composite windows are often made with environmentally friendly materials and recyclable frames.

Always prompt and communicative. The liaison between company and client could not be in better hands!! Thank you.

Great company that backs their product. We built a new house and Quality Window & Doors was the subcontractor for our Weathershield windows and doors. Wayne and Noe came out to service a broken handle on our 16' Weathershield sliding door. We were technically beyond the warranty period but they repaired the handle for free. They also took the time to go around and adjust our other exterior doors to make sure they were well aligned now that the house had settled a bit. Wayne was a real expert and got all the doors adjusted and working perfectly!

We are thrilled with our new windows and door! Excellent job from estimate to completion! The install team was fantastic and I loved that the lead installer was also present during the initial measurement phase. It took a few months for the windows to arrive so it was really nice to see a familiar face for the install and he knew exactly what to do! Highly recommend!!

QWD is a first rate company. The staff from product selection, estimate, showroom, measurement and installation were professional and highly competent. The installation crew paid attention to detail and went through great lengths to ensure our satisfaction. I love the new windows and I recommend them without reservation.
