Material Options for Windows
Find the Perfect Material for Your Replacement Windows
The decision to install replacement windows involves more than just choosing a stylish window frame. It also consists of selecting the best glass available for your windows.
For an expansive collection of window glass options, it’s time to call NEXT Door & Window. We’re dedicated to offering the highest quality window options available. From top-notch energy efficiency and superior insulation to decoration, our Design & Energy Experts help you find the perfect fit for your home’s comfort, energy, and style needs.
Window Materials to Fit Your Preference
Every home has its unique comfort, security, and style needs, but for every house, there are some windows that fit it like a glove.
Whatever your preference is, our Design & Energy Experts utilize the best window materials available to protect your home while enhancing its style. Check our material selection below:
Fiberglass Windows
Fiberglass balances resilience, energy efficiency, and style. Whether it’s handling the rainy season or the bitter cold of winter, fiberglass windows can handle tough weather conditions, resulting in minimal wear and tear.
And no need to worry about Chicagoland and Madison’s varying temperatures. Fiberglass is designed to resist expansion and contraction, keeping the material free from seal failures and stress cracks, allowing you to enjoy a comfortable home regardless of the time of year.
Wood-clad Windows
Wood-clad windows provide a timeless look without the risk of wear and tear over time. This is due to the exterior cladding, which provides a weather-resistant barrier for the wood. This means less maintenance compared to traditional window types.
Despite their classic look, wood-clad windows are versatile, allowing for almost complete customization to fit any particular shape, size, or future painting needs.
Aluminum Windows
Aluminum is a great choice if you’re after long-lasting durability and style. These windows are crafted from durable metal, designed to withstand even the harshest weather conditions while maintaining a consistent, smooth appearance.
While durability may be aluminum’s main draw, it doesn’t mean the material lacks flexibility. It’s quite the opposite; the material can be shifted and changed to fit any homeowner’s particular shape or size preference.

The installation went very smoothly. The windows were ready at the projected time, scheduling was flexible, and the install itself took ½ day. Cleanup was thorough, and the installers were respectful to us and our home. No stress.
The windows look beautiful, the quality is great, and we are satisfied with the value. We do realize that we need to see how the windows manage seasonal changes.
We dealt primarily with Ron, who co-owns Next Door & Window with his son. Ron is an expert in the window and door business, and the kind of salesperson you hope you get to work with. He was always striving to ensure we were completely satisfied.
It was a pleasure doing business with Next Door & Window.

We absolutely love our new door!

Two weeks ago we had Next replace all of the windows. Again, the windows are gorgeous, the installation was flawless and looks beautiful inside and outside. It has definitely improved our curb appeal and the house just looks brighter and sunnier inside. In the current summer heat, we've also already noticed that house feels like its significantly cooler to the insulation and the windows themselves.
Everyone we've worked with at Next has been wonderful. The installation teams were courteous and very professional. They also left our home spotless. When they finished the work you couldn't even tell they were there. The management team also cares--they checked with us multiple times to make sure everything was right.
Next Door and Window is highly recommended! I've recommended them to my family, friends and neighbors.
