Windows For Lafayette Homeowners That Are So Easy To Operate, People Call Them Maintenance FreeWon't Need Paint - EVER (That's What We Call Maintenance Free!)Are “maintenance-free” windows really maintenance-free? Most thermal replacement windows are made of wood, vinyl, or a combination of the two. Vinyl windows require no painting inside or out, therefore eliminating the need to paint windows. By switching to maintenance free vinyl windows, you could save significantly on your painting bills. Of course, vinyl windows still have to be cleaned, so they are not completely maintenance free.

Window Drainage SystemsWindows and doors often have a simple drainage system that work to maintain proper ventilation and prevent buildup of water.
