Commercial replacement windows are very common in Chicago. Weather changes, severe weather, and buildings settling are just a few reasons why many homeowners and Homeowners Associations replace their windows. Commercial windows are usually installed in mid-rise or high-rise buildings, although in the last 10 years we have seen a surge in commercial products installed in more of a traditional residential building.
Aluminum is the most widely used material in commercial replacement windows in Chicago, as opposed to the popular Vinyl material used in residential homes and buildings. When installing windows over 3 floors, aluminum material is the preferred choice due to its durability and its ability to withstand severe weather. Windows are more than just a view, they must offer protection and comfort, and that’s why aluminum commercial windows are used in mid-rise and high-rise buildings.
