Wood

Retrofit wood windows can match the look of your former windows while providing all the benefits of an energy efficient window. Wood windows can come in a range of wood types and colors and can always be painted later if you want to change the color. Wood windows are moderately priced and have good insulating value. The downside is that they require on-going maintenance such as yearly staining and painting, which adds to the long-term cost. A nice alternative for people who like the look of wood but prefer a low-maintenance option is a wood-clad window. The cladding goes on the outside of the window and is typically made of aluminum or fiberglass while the inside remains exposed wood. This offers the best of both worlds, but the price increases.

Well-established manufacturers with quality retrofit wood windows include: Marvin Ultimate Series, Marvin Tilt Pac and Anderson Woodwright windows. These are the most common wood windows that we install at AHE but there are a wide range of options that we can offer and install. All the windows that we install qualify for the federal energy efficiency tax credit of up to $1,500.
