And, when you choose wood windows from The Screen Shop for your Palo Alto, CA, home, you will get the quality you deserve! Keep reading to find out what our professionals believe are the Top 6 Benefits of Wood Windows with The Screen Shop:

1. Maintenance
   Now, hear us out: wood windows have earned somewhat of a stigma for being “hard to maintain” next to maintenance-free options like vinyl. True, if they are poorly installed or improperly sealed they can fall victim to pests and deterioration. But, quality windows in Palo Alto, CA (like ours at The Screen Shop), have long-lasting sealants applied to them during the manufacturing stage. Keeping them clean should be all you need to do for several years before a fresh seal is needed. And, really, applying a fresh seal every several years is not high-maintenance!  

2. Durability
   As long as you choose quality windows with proper sealant, they will not warp or crack. They expand less in temperature spikes and drops than metal windows, and you can expect them to last a

3. Totally customizable
   You can choose or design wood windows in any style to suit your home and your personal taste. If you want intricate carvings, crown moldings, flat panels, or extra-thick frames—there’s a window out there ready or waiting to be designed just for you.

4. Classic
   There are fads and then there are options with real staying power. Choosing wood windows for your Palo Alto home means you are choosing beautiful, classy, clean features you will love for years and years.

5. Economical
   When most people think about wood windows, “cost-effectiveness” doesn’t exactly come to mind. Yes, wood cost more than vinyl or metal windows, but when they are properly installed, sealed, and cared for—they are more durable than any other window on the market and highly energy efficient (which saves you money in the long-run)! Lasting a lifetime makes them a good bang for your buck, too!
6. Eye-catching & versatile
   Wood windows are stunning and they will grab attention on any property. And, if you want a change—re-stain or paint them to your liking! You are not stuck with one look forever!
