Here’s the comparison table you can place under the blog so customers instantly see how Forster outperforms typical American window types:
| Feature / Material | Forster Steel Windows | Vinyl Windows (Typical American) | Wood Windows (Typical American) | Aluminum Windows (Typical American) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strength | Exceptional — high-grade steel supports large glass panels with minimal framing | Low — frames can warp in heat | Moderate — strong but can rot or warp over time | Moderate — can dent or bend |
| Frame Profile | Ultra-slim sightlines for maximum light and views | Bulkier frames reduce glass area | Thicker frames needed for stability | Slim frames possible but less strong than steel |
| Durability | Decades of performance with minimal maintenance | Can degrade or discolor over time | Requires regular painting/sealing | Prone to corrosion in harsh environments |
| Design Aesthetics | Timeless, minimalist, architectural appeal | Limited design options and finishes | Classic look but higher upkeep | Modern look but less premium than steel |
| Energy Efficiency | Advanced thermal breaks + high-performance glazing | Good insulation with double/triple glazing | Naturally insulating but less efficient without upgrades | Moderate — needs thermal breaks to perform well |
| Security | Superior — robust frames with multi-point locking | Basic locking systems | Basic locking systems | Moderate — stronger than vinyl but weaker than steel |
| Lifespan | 50+ years with proper care | 15–20 years on average | 20–30 years with maintenance | 20–30 years with maintenance |
| Best For | Luxury homes, modern architecture, historic renovations | Budget-conscious projects | Traditional designs where maintenance is acceptable | Modern commercial or residential where cost is priority |
