Expand Your View with New Windows and Patio Doors from R&M Quality Windows and Doors
Windows are a significant part of your home. Mainly due to their multiple purposes: protection, insulation, and aesthetics. Plus, your windows are viewable from the interior and exterior.
On the interior, windows should operate as expected as well as offer you a view. From the outside, windows should serve to protect your interior from harmful UV rays while also enhancing curb appeal.
While you won’t likely need to replace your windows and patio doors often, this is a major investment. So, you’ll need to partner with a window expert that can provide you with a range of possibilities.
The top two attributes of your new windows and patio doors will be the material and operating style. Here’s a preview of each.
Window Materials
There are several different materials used to construct window frames. Each has its own attributes and benefits. Depending on a number of things, you may choose any of these.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass windows are the ultimate performance window and work perfectly in any type of weather, from extreme heat to heavy moisture. Fiberglass windows are durable, moisture-resistant, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance.
Vinyl
Constructed to be energy-efficient, vinyl windows can deliver real savings on energy bills. They are also highly customizable, require minimal maintenance, and are versatile—looking perfect in modern or traditional settings.
Clad-Wood
With a clad-wood window, you’ll enjoy the elegance of a real wood interior with a cladded exterior. The cladding protects the wood and makes the windows more durable over long periods of time. With multiple species and finishes to choose from, you’ll be able to customize your modern wood windows.
