FiberglassGenerally less expensive than wood and more expensive than vinyl. Most fiberglass windows with proper glazing will qualify for the up to $1,500.00 Federal Energy Tax Credit. Most come with several standard exterior colors choices and some interior. Some manufactures offer custom sizes and can be retrofitted into existing openings, and can be all fiberglass or fiberglass with either a wood clad or wood veneer interior.
Fiberglass windows have the strongest frames. They are the most energy efficient, durable, least susceptible to expansion and contraction and color stable of any of the window frames.
The material itself has been around for a long time. Long used for items like boat hulls and auto bodies. Fiberglass is the next big thing in windows.
One of the big benefits of fiberglass windows is that they can be painted and they won't deteriorate if the paint wears off.

Vinyl windows are typically made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and provide very good energy savings. Almost all vinyl windows with the proper glazing will qualify for the up to $1,500.00 Federal Energy Tax Credit.
For the budget minded consumer, they offer a great value in price versus performance. Vinyl is maintenance-free, since the vinyl color goes all the way through. They never need painting or touch-ups, since nicks and scratches do not show a different color. For all these reasons, vinyl windows are popular for direct replacement window applications. Available in standard sizes as well as custom sizes and shapes.
The down side of vinyl is that they are limited in color options for the most part, usually available in white or tan and if the vinyl is painted it voids the warranty. Painted vinyl will either fade or peel over time and manufacturers offer shorter warranties. Before selecting painted vinyl do your research.

Wood windows are the choice when you need to match existing windows, for older homes and for custom homes. Although they are generally the most expensive, wood windows will add more resale value to your home than vinyl windows.
Most wood windows with the proper glazing will qualify for the up to $1,500.00 Federal Energy Tax Credit. They can either be wood inside and out or just wood inside with aluminum or vinyl exterior cladding. Some manufacturers make custom sizes that can be sized to fit the existing opening, but most are standard sizes.
The downside of using wood windows is that they require regular maintenance. Peeling paint is an eyesore, as well as a sign that the wood is being exposed to the weather, which will ultimately cause it to dry rot. Vinyl cladding is limited in color choices. Aluminum cladding usually has several standard color choices. Also, the interior of most of manufacturers' wooden windows needs to be finished.
