All of our windows in our home have metal frames. A couple are cracked so we now need to upgrade. Should I upgrade just the 2 that really need replaced to wood or should I scrap all the metal framed windows and go with wood? What would be best in the long run?

Thanks!

Trust me when I say this... upgrade all of your windows. I know for a fact that your heating bill will be less in the winter b/c you won't have metal frames Smile

If you have the extra cash laying around I would take not chances and just get them all replaced. How long have these windows been installed in your home?

Thanks everyone! We have actually decided to get all of our windows replaced since the frames are junk. I'll let you all know how this project turns out Smile

They have been installed since we purchased the home about 5-6 years ago. I think the house is around 30-35 years old though.
