Weather Shield Pros and Cons
Advantages
Unmatched Design Flexibility
Weather Shield offers over 50 color choices and a wide range of window styles, including casement, sliding sash, bay, and tilt and turn, allowing Mid South Windows to customize solutions for any architectural style in East Tennessee homes.
Energy Efficiency
All Weather Shield windows are Energy Star-qualified, featuring double or triple glazing and low-emissivity coatings that reduce heat loss and improve energy savings, helping Knoxville homeowners lower their utility bills.
Durability and Low Maintenance
The aluminum-clad wood used in Weather Shield’s EnduraShield and Signature Series provides exceptional durability and weather resistance, requiring minimal upkeep while maintaining a premium aesthetic for East Tennessee properties.
Disadvantages
Higher Initial Cost
Weather Shield’s premium windows, such as those in the Signature Series, come with a higher upfront cost compared to standard uPVC options, which may be a consideration for budget-conscious homeowners in Knoxville.
Specialized Installation
The advanced design of Weather Shield windows, particularly in the EnduraShield line, requires skilled installation by authorized dealers like Mid South Windows, which may limit options for DIY or non-specialist installers in East Tennessee.
Lead Time for Custom Orders
Due to the bespoke nature of Weather Shield’s customizable windows, lead times for custom orders can be longer, potentially delaying projects for homeowners seeking quick installations in the Knoxville area.
