The Advantages of Vinyl Windows
1. Energy Efficiency
Vinyl windows have excellent insulation. They are versatile – able to keep you warm during winter months and blocking heat from entering during summer time. How so? Well, vinyl windows are made from plastic called polyvinyl chloride which is commonly known as PVC. The material used is considered to have a high R value – the determining factor of the degree of insulation that a particular material can provide.
One good reason for its appeal is its energy efficiency and its ability to control the temperature – if it’s cold outside; it keeps you warm inside and vice versa. That being said, your energy bill is greatly reduced as compared to a single or even a double pane glass.
2. Low Maintenance
Being low maintenance is one of the top reasons why vinyl windows are gaining popularity to homeowners – they are effortless to maintain. No need to engage in sanding or repainting every 12 months or so; which means…your house can look as new as it was when first installed. Because of its durable surface, having already been stained, finished and sealed; makes it last longer than other types of materials.
More so, it is dirt resistant, mold and UV resistant – assures you that it won’t easily fade or wear out. It simply is better and more cost-effective than wood or aluminum windows.
3. Design
This is one remarkable benefit you can get from using vinyl windows – the diversity of its design. It is not only cost effective and energy efficient but you can have the design and look you want for your windows. This is because vinyl, can easily be molded, painted and shaped according to the design of your window – whether existing or new.
