There’s a reason why vinyl replacement windows are one of the most popular options on the market. They’re impact-resistant, cost-effective and come in a wide variety of colors, giving you maximum flexibility when it comes to your exterior design.
Here are some of the other things you should know about vinyl windows:
1. Vinyl Windows Are Recyclable
Trying to go green? Vinyl windows are a smart choice. Vinyl can be melted and remolded into new products, reducing the amount of construction debris that ends up in landfills.
2. Vinyl Is Extremely Pliable
Viny can be easily molded into nearly any shape, but this flexibility is seen as a disadvantage by some homeowners. If vinyl is very flexible, it should be less durable than other types of windows, right? This may have been true in the past, but manufacturers have since made several improvements that allow modern vinyl windows to handle wide glass panes and resist scratches and dents.
3. Vinyl Windows Are Best Known for Their Low Maintenance Needs
Vinyl windows have low maintenance needs, making them ideal for homeowners who just don’t have the time for maintenance. All they need is an occasional wash.
4. Moisture and Mold Are Not an Issue for Vinyl Windows
Moisture issues, a common problem for any home, usually go hand in hand with mold issues. That’s because moisture is an important prerequisite for the formation and propagation of mold. Fortunately, vinyl windows are impervious to mold and moisture damage.
5. You Can Assess a Window’s Quality by Checking Its Frame
If you’re replacing windows, here’s a buying tip: Look for window frames with thicker material and several interlocking chambers. Not sure about the quality of a particular window? When in doubt, it’s best to stick to reputable brands such as ProVia® and Marvin®.
