Building Science and fine craftsmanship are two of Matt Risinger's well versed hobbies and missions. In this video, he applies building science theories to windows. The four most common windows on the market are vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass, and wood. What are the pros and cons of each in terms of décor, cost efficiency, and practicality? Vinyl is inexpensive, but aesthetically the corners aren't the nicest option, and they're hard to paint. The best value window option is fiberglass because the details are crisper, and the material is much nicer than vinyl. There are two different types of aluminum windows, which Risinger says has to be thermal broken otherwise it's a pointless purchase. It's safe to say that Risinger has a soft spot for wooden windows, though. He considers wooden windows to be a choice that will give you a long-lasting finish with great thermal performance.
