The Prodigy asked:


I just bought a home built in 1917. It needs new windows. It currently has single pane wood windows. What, in your opinion, is the best material to buy replacement windows. Vinyl, wood, or aluminum? Why do you think it is the best? Cost is a consideration also.

I just had all of my windows replaced. They were double pane construction grade windows and they were very drafty. I had Tennessee Thermal replace them with triple pane vinyl windows. They said these windows are supposed to be the best. The guys just finished putting them in today.
Tonight, I was looking at them and noticed cold AIR! They are even more drafty than the cheap construction windows! The glass is FREEZING. The air is not coming through AROUND the window.. but it’s coming in THROUGH the glass. You can stand a foot from the window and feel the cold air… I havent paid them yet, but I signed a paper today when they left. What do I do? These windows are NOT supposed to be like that, I know! Please help.
Thanks.
But it looks like they caulked and sealed them very well.
There’s no air coming in around the perimeter of the window… it’s just coming in through the glass. I don’t understand!

I don’t want to pay them for something I’m not satisfied with. But the explained the windows so much better than they actually are. They are EXTREMELY expensive too…

We currently have wood single pane windows and I will never get wood again. I have heard that vinyl expands and contracts a lot so am thinking about fiberglass but do not know that much about them. Anyone know what is best?
