Purchasing windows is a major decision that enhances the aesthetics of your home. It also makes your house more comfortable and energy efficient.
Window specialists can help you mitigate rot, low efficiency and water damage with replacement windows. They will advise you on the best options for your West Valley City UT home.
Vinyl
Vinyl is a durable plastic material used for a wide variety of home products. It is also used in car upholstery, drapes, and healthcare fabrics. It is safe for pets and kids and is easy to clean.
Its durability and low-cost make it a popular option for windows. It can be found in a variety of styles, including bay, bow, and picture windows. Vinyl is also energy efficient, saving West Valley City homeowners money on their utility bills.
A newer option, clad-wood windows feature a wood interior with an aluminum exterior, which minimizes maintenance and boosts durability. Fiberglass is another new window replacement material that’s highly durable and energy-efficient. Steel windows are a less common choice, but they offer superior strength and can be painted to match any style. Unlike other plastics, which are often made from hydrocarbon-based feedstocks like petroleum, vinyl is primarily derived from chlorine, which is sourced from salt. This makes it less sensitive to fluctuations in oil prices.
Wood
Wood windows add a touch of class to any home. However, they can be a hassle when it comes to maintenance and require regular painting or staining to keep them looking new. Utah Direct Services offers clad-wood windows that combine the beauty of natural wood on the inside with a tough exterior like aluminum or vinyl, minimizing upkeep and boosting durability.
Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward to allow air flow, even in light rain showers. They’re ideal for basements and are often paired with larger stationary windows to boost ventilation.
Double-pane windows provide a high level of energy efficiency by creating two pockets that can be filled with an insulating gas like argon. This helps to prevent drafts and make your home more comfortable.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass is a new kid on the block but it’s quickly becoming a favorite for window replacement. It’s super-strong, almost maintenance-free, and is a good choice for energy efficiency. It’s also resistant to swelling, rusting and warping. It’s used in everything from boats to equipment shelters to ductwork.
If you prefer a classic double-hung window, we have that too. These windows have two sashes that slide up and down, allowing you to adjust airflow in any room. They’re especially good in colder climates where energy-efficient windows can help reduce your heating costs.

Composite
Essentially, composite windows are made with multiple materials and are held together with epoxy. The main advantage of these windows is their durability, as they can withstand more wear and tear than other window options. They’re a great choice for homeowners who want the look of wood windows without the maintenance and cost associated with them.
These windows are also a great choice for people looking to lower outside noise levels. They come with a variety of options, including insulated frames and weatherstripping, to minimize outside noise and keep your home comfortable.
Other popular window choices include sliding windows, which open horizontally, and bay windows, which create a panoramic view inside and out. All of these windows can be customized with frame colors, glass options (including frosted, clear, tinted, and decorative), and grid patterns like colonial, prairie, and craftsman. They can also be designed to meet your energy efficiency needs, so you can save money on your utility bills.
