What’s in a Window Frame: Material Matters

Your window’s frame is the support that holds the entire thing in place. Picking the right material can provide many benefits. Gone are the days when wood frames were the primary window design. BEE Window ® carries two great frame materials that you should look into for many good reasons.

Vinyl Frames

The biggest advantage that a vinyl replacement window in Muncie has is that it’s affordable. When vinyl first came out to replace wood, it was thought that the lower price was equivalent to lower quality. The truth is, vinyl is durable and resistant to rot, rust, and corrosion. Our vinyl replacement windows at BEE Window come with a great deal of customization options. Regardless of the style, you can truly make it your own. Pick vinyl if you’re on a budget, but still want a window that’s highly dependable.

Ultrex Frames

Unique to the Infinity from Marvin® line of replacement windows, Ultrex ® is a pultruded fiberglass material that features compounded resins reinforced by strong cables of glass. This production process makes it eight times stronger than vinyl, with a life expectancy that is about 38% longer. The specific production processes involved also reduce seal failures and the possibility of leakages. In terms of design aesthetic, Ultrex can replicate the classic, traditional look of wood, but other customization options are also available. Moreover, the material calls for low maintenance, along with an easy cleaning process.

The choice of frame material can influence a lot of things. These include the dependability and longevity of your windows. Make sure the material is durable enough without compromising your home’s curb appeal. BEE Window has a wide range of window styles available—including options for a garden replacement window in Terre Haute. We also offer a range of other home improvement products and services.
