Are you in the market for new windows for your home but not sure what frame material you should select? You may be interested in composite window frames, which are a bit different than wood, aluminum, and vinyl frame windows. The composite material is a combination of wood pulp and vinyl, which blends together two popular materials. Here are some reasons that composite windows are a great choice. 

Composite Windows Are A Non-Porous Material

One benefit of a composite window is that it is a non-porous material. Nothing is going to be able to get into the window frame, such as pests or water. It helps ensure that the window frame material will withstand the test of time since it is not going to rot like a wood window would if water gets into the frame material.

Composite Windows Expand And Contract With The Glass

If you live in a region that has temperature swings between really hot and cold temperatures, the window glass is going to expand and contract with the weather. However, some window frame materials don't expand and contrast with the glass, which can cause a window to become damaged over time. Know that composite window frames are going to change shape along with the glass, which means that the two materials will not fight each other and the seal won't fail with it. This is what causes window seals to break and causes fog to appear between the glass panes.

Composite Windows Have A Powder Coat Finish

Know that the finish on a composite window is going to look very nice compared to other materials because it uses a powder coat finish. It's an incredibly durable finish that is not going to chip off like paint and can be applied in any color that you want. This means that you can get composite windows in two-tone colors without it being an upgrade. It allows you to do a black finish on the outside of your home and a white finish on the inside of your home, something that is not possible with other window materials unless it is painted. 

However, keep in mind that composite windows can be painted down the line if you want to. This is something that isn't possible with vinyl because the paint won't stick to the material. With composite windows, you can rough up the powder coat finish and apply a coat of paint if that is what you want to do.
