Once they have been in use for a considerable period, windows might need to be changed either because of physical damage or because of reduced energy efficiency. For property owners in Cape Cod windows should be changed only after one understands a few important things.

The material of the existing window might be the cause of the problem one is facing. It could be causing reduced energy efficiency or might be the cause of damage by natural elements.

Each of these will have superiority in a certain key area such as appeal, cost, durability or energy efficiency. For example, vinyl is great if one is looking for energy efficiency and low cost.

You should therefore find out whether the conditions in a certain area will allow you to have a certain material as your replacement. Among the conditions that are likely to affect the material are whether the area is hot, humid, very wet or hit by serious storms.
