Windows

Windows do more than let in light. They transform a dark, closed-in structure into a welcoming, functional space. Whether you’re finishing the interior of a workshop, adding natural ventilation to a horse barn, or simply want your agricultural building to feel less like a warehouse and more like an extension of your property, quality windows make a real difference.

At Swiss Construction, we install energy-efficient, all-vinyl windows that are built to handle the unique demands of post frame construction. Unlike residential-grade windows that can warp or crack over time, our windows are designed for virtually no maintenance and decades of reliable service.

Why Vinyl Windows for Post-Frame Buildings?

Vinyl is the ideal material for agricultural and workshop environments. It won’t rot, peel, or corrode like wood or aluminum can when exposed to moisture, dust, and temperature swings. You get the benefits of natural light and airflow without the constant upkeep.

  • Low Maintenance: Never needs painting or sealing. A simple wash with a hose keeps them clean.
  • Durable: All-vinyl construction resists warping, cracking, and corrosion.
  • Energy Efficient: Low-E argon-filled glass helps regulate indoor temperatures.
  • Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty plus a stress crack warranty for peace of mind.

Where to Add Windows in Your Building

Strategically placed windows improve both form and function. Consider adding them in these key areas:

  • Workshops & Hobby Spaces: Natural light reduces eye strain and makes detailed work easier. Position windows on north-facing walls for consistent, glare-free illumination.
  • Horse Barns & Stables: Windows in stall doors or exterior walls let horses see out, which can reduce anxiety. Operable windows also provide crucial cross-ventilation on warm days.
  • Tack Rooms & Offices: Small, well-placed windows make these secondary spaces feel larger and more inviting without compromising wall space for storage.
  • Garage & Storage Areas: A few high windows can provide daylight without sacrificing security or wall space for shelving and equipment.

Customize Your Look

White frames are our standard offering because they match virtually any color scheme. But if you want your windows to blend in or stand out, we can provide frames in other colors that coordinate with your building’s siding and trim.

Tip: For a cohesive exterior, match your window frame color to your metal siding or wainscoting. Our team can help you select the right combination during the design phase.

Pair Windows with Other Building Materials

Windows work best as part of a complete exterior package. Here are some complementary features to consider for your project:

  • Cupolas & Dormers: Add architectural interest and bring even more natural light into loft or attic spaces.
  • Steel Roofing & Siding: Durable, color-matched panels create a finished look around your new windows.
  • Insulation: Proper insulation around window rough openings prevents drafts and maximizes energy efficiency.
