All homeowners want to lower their utility bills; And every homeowner wants their family to enjoy greater comfort indoors, whether it’s hot outside or snowy outside. If this description sounds like you, maybe now is the right time to get rid of those old single-pane windows and install replacement windows in their place. There are many frame options to choose from – these are just a few of the many benefits of using vinyl.

–Extremely low temperature transfer ratings: Unlike traditional cheap aluminum frames, today’s vinyl models do not act as conductors for heat and cold. That means that in the winter months, cooler stays outside, where it belongs, and warmer, inside, where it belongs: now that’s energy efficiency.

–It’s low-maintenance: Wood frames also don’t conduct heat or cold, but they do require constant and frequent maintenance to prevent peeling, warping, and other effects of weather-related wear. Vinyl frames never have to be painted, and unlike wood or metal, the material’s inherent characteristics allow it to fit seamlessly into virtually any size wall opening.

–It’s affordable: Although vinyl windows aren’t as “cheap” as aluminum, they’re definitely much more affordable than wood. When selecting your frames, be sure to choose ones that are made with dense vinyl that is heavier and more durable than the lighter frame versions.

Beauty, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and affordability have made vinyl today’s most popular choice for window replacement. When combined with high quality Low E glass products, they represent the gold standard in energy efficiency.
