If your windows are drafty, outdated, or not functioning correctly, it’s time to consider a window upgrade. New windows do far more than improve how your home looks — they enhance energy efficiency, increase natural light, reduce noise, and, most importantly, add measurable value to your property.
But not all windows are created equal. With so many materials on the market, how do you know which one is right for your home? The team at Nu-Face Home Improvements is here to help you select the best window brands for your home — so you can make a confident, informed investment.
Comparing Window Materials: Which Option is Best for Your Home?
At Nu-Face Home Improvements, we only install window systems from trusted, industry-leading manufacturers — including Harvey Tribute®, Alside Mezzo®, and Vytex®. These brands are known for using the highest-grade materials in their class, designed for long-term performance in residential homes.
Let’s take a closer look at the most popular materials:
Vinyl Windows
Available from: Mezzo®, Harvey®, and Potomac HP Series by Vytex®
Our most popular and recommended option – vinyl windows are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a durable plastic known for its resistance to moisture, warping, and insect damage. These windows are fusion-welded and multi-chambered, which improves structural integrity and enhances thermal performance.
Vinyl is a smart choice because it offers strong insulation, requires virtually no maintenance, and doesn’t chip, peel, or fade like painted materials. Modern vinyl windows also come in a variety of colors, finishes, and styles, making them more versatile than ever before.
Best for: Homeowners who want an energy-efficient, cost-effective solution with lasting performance and minimal upkeep. Ideal for full-home replacements or budget-conscious upgrades that don’t sacrifice quality.
Fiberglass Composite Windows
Available from: Harvey® and Vytex®
Fiberglass composite is made from interwoven glass fibers combined with resin, creating a rigid and stable material that outperforms many traditional window options. Each brand uses advanced composite technology to achieve a sleek, painted-wood appearance with superior strength and insulation.
Fiberglass expands and contracts very little, which means it maintains a tight seal through all seasons — reducing the risk of air leaks and seal failure. It also resists warping, rotting, and corrosion, making it one of the most durable window materials available.
Best for: Homeowners looking for premium performance, modern styling, and long-term energy savings. Especially effective in homes exposed to seasonal extremes or coastal weather.
Composite Windows
Available from: Vytex®
Composite windows combine materials like wood fiber, PVC, and polymers into a single frame that mimics the strength of wood but with far less maintenance. These hybrid frames are built to resist rot, mold, insects, and weather damage while offering excellent thermal protection.
Vytex uses composite technology to deliver windows that offer both high strength and clean, architectural styling. These frames are ideal for custom designs and large openings while ensuring long-term stability and energy efficiency.
Best for: Homeowners seeking a strong, thermally efficient window that offers the best of both form and function. Great for modern builds or anyone looking to elevate their home’s performance and curb appeal with a long-lasting solution.
