Wood / Clad window maintenance

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

We are in Louisiana. Our house is 4,000 feet with 30 windows. Ten windows are protected under a 10' deep porch. Ten windows are in a sunroom facing the east. Ten windows are dormers around our attic that will very, very rarely be opened. I am thinking about using the Marvin fiberglass double hung for the attic for longevity and low maintenance. For the sunroom and under the porch I am debating on using either Marvin wood or wood/fiberglass clad double hung.

My question is what would I need to do, as far as routine maintenance goes, to increase the potential of an extended lifespan for my wood or wood clad windows. My second question is with proper routine maintenance would we potentially have a longer lifespan out of the wood or fiberglass wood clad windows? On a side note, It will be very very rare for any of these windows to actually be opened for purposes other than cleaning or maintenance.


Question 3 Are clad windows repairable when rot is an issue?


Any suggestions are welcome.
