Energy Efficiency - Vinyl is a great insulator, superior in its resistance to heat transfer. Dual weatherstripping, standard on many of our windows, creates a tight seal, maintaining the efficiency of the window and effectively eliminating drafts.
Many glazing options enable us to produce a window that will provide year ’round comfort and energy savings. Dual pane insulated glass, created by sealing two single panes to a spacer, establishing an insulating chamber, is nearly twice as efficient as a single pane of glass at reducing heat loss. The transparent metallic coating on our optional LoE² (low emissivity) glass filters out solar radiation, thereby reducing heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, for maximum comfort and energy efficiency. Many of our windows are available as ENERGY STAR® qualified to ensure high energy efficiency and savings.
Durability - All of our windows are thoroughly tested for structural and thermal performance, to ensure they hold up under extreme weather conditions. Silver Line windows are also tested and certified to meet AAMA standards for forced entry resistance, for your protection.
Convenience - Our windows are low maintenance and are designed to provide a lifetime of enjoyment and easy care. Color is consistent throughout the vinyl, making scratches virtually invisible and eliminating the need for painting. Tilt-in sashes allow for safe and easy cleaning from within the home with just soap and water, keeping the windows looking like new for years to come. A well-designed balance system ensures smooth, easy sash operation and never needs adjusting. Sashes open and close effortlessly for as long as you own your home, regardless of the temperature or humidity level outside.
Reliability - We stand behind our windows, backing each one with our Limited Lifetime Warranty. This warranty, which covers the window, the insulated glass, and the window hardware, will bring you peace of mind for as long as you own your home.
Twenty-first century homeowners have more choices than ever today, but vinyl replacement windows provide a unique combination of strength and versatility that keeps them at the top of the favorites’ list.
Polyvinyl Chloride– Most people want to know what vinyl windows are actually made of. The primary ingredient is polyvinyl chloride otherwise known as PVC. PVC is a poor conductor of both heat and cold; thus your heat stays inside in the winter, while your air-conditioning is able to keep the air cooler in the summer.
Easy to care for – It’s difficult to find something easier to take care of than that which is maintenance free. Vinyl windows never require painting and are easily cleaned with soap and water. Some companies also include sashes and welded frames to prevent penetration by air or water.
Creative variations – Every homeowner wants the new windows to enhance the design of the house, whether that design is a contemporary effect or an older, more ornate architecture. Vinyl windows are available in a plethora of designs from massive curved, bay, or picture windows to small casement windows. You can also get any color you can imagine. If you are somewhat savvy regarding carpentry, they are not difficult to install. However, it is usually good to at least have a professional provide an opinion regarding the style that would suit your home most attractively.
