	The manufacture of replacement gable windows involves one of four main types of framing materials. These materials include those with metal frames, metal frames that contain thermal breaks, non-metal frames and thermally improved non-metal frames. Purchasing a weather resistant and thermal insulated frame will influence the total window performance of a replacement gable window unit.		The manufacture of replacement gable windows involves one of four main types of framing materials. These materials include those with metal frames, metal frames that contain thermal breaks, non-metal frames and thermally improved non-metal frames. Purchasing a weather resistant and thermal insulated frame will influence the total window performance of a replacement gable window unit.

−	==== ~~Metal Frame -~~ Aluminum ====	+	==== Aluminum ====
	Aluminum window frames are light and durable. They can easily be extruded into complex shapes which are needed for replacement gable window parts. Aluminum frames consist of anodized and factory-baked enamel finishes which provide a low-maintenance and lost-lasting window. One concern that some homeowners have regarding aluminum windows is that aluminum windows conduct heat. This raises the overall U-rating of a gable window unit and lowers its ability to resist heat transfer due to heat loss and condensation. Modern aluminum insulating windows contain thermal breaks which split the frame components into interior and exterior sections. These sections are then joined using a less conductive material and provide for a better insulated window alternative.		Aluminum window frames are light and durable.

−	===== Wood and Wood Clad =====	+	==== Wood and Wood Clad ====
−	Many homeowners prefer wood frame windows because wood windows are attractive and the traditional style of wood blends in with almost any type of architectural design. Wood is a superior insulating material but requires annual varnishing or painting to prevent rot or warping. Most homeowners are not able to commit to such a schedule of maintenance, particularly for replacement gable windows which are frequently set high above street level. Wood clad windows are a wood window option which feature the beauty of interior wood frames together with protected weather-resistant exteriors. The exterior cladding, made of treated vinyl or aluminum, protects the external wood frame and requires no maintenance after installation.	+	Many homeowners prefer wood frame windows because wood windows are attractive and the traditional style of wood blends in with almost any type of architectural design.

	Vinyl frames are manufactured from a hybrid plastic material which is strong and versatile. Vinyl frames provide quality insulation, resist moisture and are maintenance free. Vinyl windows cannot be painted though homeowners can now order a vinyl window with laminate coatings, such as wood veneer, for varying external appearances. Vinyl windows are dimensionally stable and resist deterioration from extreme temperatures and sunlight.		Vinyl frames are manufactured from a hybrid plastic material which is strong and versatile.

−	Polymer/wood composite materials are manufactured with a blend of wood scraps and sawdust together with recycled plastics. They are extruded into window sashes and frames. They create a stable energy efficient window with quality structural properties. Composite windows resist weather elements such as moisture and don't decay.

		+	==== Fiberglass ====
	Fiberglass is a blend of glass and fibers which produce dimensionally stable window frames. The frames have air cavities which are filled with insulation, thus reducing convection exchange. Fiberglass is an exceptionally strong material and is frequently used by customers who are looking for triple-glazed windows. Fiberglass frames offer a high level of thermal insulation. The material resists decay and rot due to weather elements and time.		Fiberglass is a blend of glass and fibers which produce dimensionally stable window frames.

	==== Multi-Pane Windows ====		==== Multi-Pane Windows ====
−	Multi-pane windows are reliable solution for homeowners who are looking for a replacement gable window which will prevent heat transfer and maintain a room's temperature. Multi-pane windows are produced by installing two of three glass panes in a window sash with gaps in between the window panes. These gaps are filled with insulating gas or air to provide an insulating cushion that increases the window's thermal insulation. Both double pane and triple pane windows are available for replacement gable windows. Industry advisors suggest that homeowners who live in extreme climates install the higher insulating triple pane windows.	+	Multi-pane windows are reliable solution for homeowners who are looking for a replacement gable window which will prevent heat transfer and maintain a room's temperature.

−	Homes frequently incorporate gable windows as part of a second or third story gable roof. Many home designs that consist of first story gable roofs also include ~~replacement~~ gable windows in the home's architectural plan. When homeowners remodel a first story living room, dining room, family room, kitchen or home office they often look for creative ways to plan a unique architectural style that will include a pitched gable roof that offsets the windows below.	+	Homes frequently incorporate gable windows as part of a second or third story gable roof.
