General Selection Criteria
When selecting windows and patio doors, consider factors such as climate, wall exposures, and local building codes. Different materials are suited to different climates: aluminum is ideal for warm climates, vinyl is versatile for any climate due to its insulation and low maintenance, and wood offers excellent insulation but requires more upkeep. Placement affects light and maintenance needs, and building codes may necessitate impact-resistant glass in certain areas.
