Buying New Windows Part Four - Material Choices
~ Andy Herman, Window & Door Specialist, Petoskey Design Showroom
In this installment of our “Buying New Windows Series” we take a look at the variety of materials used to build windows. There are many questions to consider including, a) How do you choose from among all the available options?; b) What are the pros and cons of each material?; and c) How do they range in price?
