What’s So Great About Vinyl?

When it is time for window replacement, you want to know you are using a window that will provide a great return on investment. Honestly, it is not cheap to redo all the windows in your home, but the right materials can help ensure that your money is well spent. Vinyl is a great material that comes with a lot of benefits for your home and here are just a few.

Home Insulation

Windows and doors are the most common place to have a draft into your home that can drive your energy bill up. Two ways to reduce the chance of a draft or other energy leaks are a custom fit and the right material. A custom fit means you don’t have to look for a “best fit” that might not seal properly. The right material means more cold or warm air is retained in your home, depending on what you want for that season.

Lasting Color

Color applied to vinyl is known to last a long time without fading or chipping. The colors you can get on vinyl windows are as varied as your imagination, so you can choose anything you want to suit the look and style of your home. You can even use some fresh colors for your window replacement to reinvent your home’s look.

Durable Material

Unlike some materials, vinyl is not susceptible to certain damaging conditions like rot, mold and warping. Most vinyl windows last from 20 to 40 years, and can last even longer in areas that get less direct sunlight. This durability means that even if you are replacing most or all of your windows at once, you are unlikely to have another financial hit from your windows for a very long time.

Easy Maintenance

Because vinyl is so durable and the color lasts so long, the maintenance is easy. Durability means you can have fewer repairs while the lasting color means less painting. It is also very easy to clean with nothing more than a high-powered hose to remove any dirt buildup.

Replacing one, most or all of the windows in your home can be an expensive endeavor. However, choosing the right material can help mitigate some of that cost due to lower energy bills and fewer maintenance costs. Vinyl is easy to customize in size, shape and color, so you can get exactly the windows you want for the look of your home. With vinyl, window replacement can be easy and stress-free.
