Discover the benefits of vinyl windows

When it’s time to replace your windows, you want to be sure you’re making the right choices. However, finding answers you can rely on is a daunting task. Searching the internet just leads to conflicting information, personal opinions and the latest trends rather than actual facts. Well, don’t worry—your search is finally over.

With excellent performance, durability and unmatched value, vinyl windows are the smart choice that saves you money, both up front and in the long run. And that’s not a life hack—it’s a fact.

Crystal-clear value

No matter what your budget is, vinyl windows will help you make the most of it. Compared to alternatives like fiberglass and wood, vinyl frames are far more cost effective, with a per-window cost that can help lower the cost of your up-front investment. But what about the long term? That’s where vinyl really outshines the competition. Homeowners can expect to recoup up to two-thirds of installation costs when they sell their home. Add in the savings you’ll see on your energy bill and the bump in home resale value? The choice is pretty clear.

Beauty built to last

The only thing stronger than the benefits vinyl offers are the frames themselves. They’re made using an extrusion process that creates multiple chambers within the frame and sash to add strength and support. Additionally, the corners of the frame are welded, not mechanically fastened, which eliminates the potential for air and water leakage. You can also cross frequent maintenance off your to-do list—vinyl is virtually maintenance free, easy to clean and impervious to insects, rot and the elements. Plus, it doesn’t need to be repainted, so you can simply kick back, relax and enjoy beautiful windows for decades to come.

Energy-efficient comfort

When it comes to energy efficiency and thermal protection, vinyl windows can outperform wood and aluminum alternatives and help to keep your home at just the right temperature. With the natural insulating properties of vinyl combined with the insulating chambers of the frames, these windows reduce the ability for heat or cold to directly transfer from the exterior to the interior of the home. When replacing single-pane windows with triple-pane ENERGY STAR^®-certified vinyl windows, homeowners can save up to $568 a year.

In addition to protecting your home from the weather outside, vinyl windows are also effective sound insulators. When paired with the right glass panes, they can help mitigate exterior noise from entering the home, transforming your home into your own peaceful oasis.

How vinyl windows stack up

Vinyl vs. Composite

Both types of windows offer great longevity, but vinyl offers better durability and improved energy efficiency—all for a lower up-front investment.
Vinyl vs. Fiberglass

Fiberglass frames offer similar performance to high-quality vinyl windows – including longevity, durability and energy efficiency – but with a much higher price tag.
Vinyl vs. Wood

With a higher up-front investment, frequent maintenance and a shorter lifespan, wood frames offer fewer benefits and less potential value for homeowners compared to vinyl.
Vinyl vs. Aluminum

Not only do vinyl windows last longer than aluminum, but in terms of durability, maintenance and energy efficiency, vinyl offers a lifetime of added value.
