Known for their easy care and energy-efficient features, vinyl windows give you exceptional performance and curb appeal. Today, we’re answering your top questions regarding vinyl replacement windows to help make the product selection process easy and smooth from start to finish.
Vinyl Window Advantages
The advantages of vinyl windows are plenty. One of the biggest advantages our vinyl windows offer is exceptional energy efficiency. Triple-pane glass is 62% more efficient than single-pane windows. And our vinyl windows contain significantly more insulating air chambers than ordinary vinyl.
Another advantage of vinyl windows is that they are low-maintenance. Easy-care vinyl frames require no painting, staining or refinishing and stay looking great for years. Plus, the fully welded sashes and frames on vinyl windows add strength and durability.
Vinyl Window Maintenance
Regularly cleaning your windows is one way to help improve their longevity and keep windows functioning properly.
Vinyl Window Replacement
When replacing vinyl windows, there are two installation methods to choose from. The first is called a pocket installation. In this method, only the sash of the old window is removed and the new window slides neatly into the existing frame. This is a great option if you want to try and preserve existing trim or are replacing a similar-sized window into the opening.
A full-frame installation method removes the entire window, including the window frame and trim. This method allows for greater design flexibility, as you can change not only the window, but also the frame and trim colors and styles. This method takes longer and requires more work both inside and outside the home, but includes the installation of a new window, trim and insulation. This can be an especially ideal choice if energy efficiency is a concern.
Vinyl windows are a low-maintenance, energy-efficient and budget-friendly choice for new or replacement windows. With three product lines to choose from, as well as many of our most popular features and options, vinyl windows offer homeowners versatility.
