Why Vinyl?

When it comes to window replacements, people usually opt for one of two choices: wooden windows or vinyl windows. Most of the window might be glass, but choosing the right material for your window frames is crucial if you want to get the best value for your money.
Wood has served humanity well as a building material for many centuries, but modern technology has made vinyl a significantly better option, especially for people in northern climates. Most modern homeowners who choose wooden window replacements do it because they’re attached to the look.
Generally, vinyl window replacements are the best option; here’s why:
Vinyl Windows are cost effective
Vinyl window replacements are generally significantly cheaper than wooden windows from the very beginning. You can almost always find a better deal on vinyl window replacements than on wooden window replacements.
Vinyl Windows look good
In order to maintain their look, wooden windows need to be regularly painted, stained and sealed. Vinyl windows, on the other hand, stay beautiful through even the worst weather with only minimal maintenance. Window maintenance shouldn’t cut into your precious time off. With vinyl windows it won’t have to.
Vinyl windows are highly energy efficient
Vinyl makes a better seal around the glass panes of the window and the walls it’s attached to, providing greater insulation and reducing the amount you’re paying on your energy bills for years to come. They’ll also be insulating your home for longer than wooden windows because vinyl doesn’t warp or rot when exposed to extreme weather.
The variety of vinyl window styles is always expanding
Originally one of the drawbacks of vinyl windows was the limited variety of colours. As vinyl window replacements become more and more popular a wider range of colours is becoming available, so you can be sure to find vinyl windows that fit perfectly with your style and your home.
Quality vinyl window replacements are far superior to their wooden counterparts, especially in cold climates or places where extreme weather is common.
When you’re trying to decide where to get your new windows, make sure to look for an Energy Star Certification on all their products. For any product to be Energy Star Certified it has to meet a number of criteria. That means they’re always the best choice – both for the environment and for your wallet.
The technology used to make energy efficient vinyl window replacements has never been better than it is right now. Choosing vinyl instead of wood when you replace your windows can save you hundreds, even thousands of dollars over the years—and even make your home more attractive to potential buyers in the future.
