Here are our recommendations on the best replacement windows according to material or frame. The vinyl selections are listed first because of their overwhelming popularity in the replacement market. We also broke it up according to location due to the fact that many vinyl manufacturers are regional and do not have distributors throughout the country. For additional information on top sellers, check out our page on Consumer Reports best windows – one thing to be aware of in terms of Consumer Reports is that the company only tests products that can be purchase in stores or over the counter and therefore does not test many of the best replacement windows that can only be found through distirbutors.
