PVC & Vinyl Windows
PVC/Vinyl Windows
With its unique blend of style, performance and convenience, vinyl has become the most popular window frame material today. High-quality vinyl windows are designed to deliver return on investment through energy savings and by enduring year after year without the need to repair or refinish.
ENERGY EFFICIENT
The outstanding thermal performance of vinyl makes it a desirable material for homeowners, builders and trade professionals. We take a number of steps to build on the energy efficiency inherent in vinyl windows, including the use of Low-E glass, warm-edge spacers and a high number of air chambers within the frame.
Compared to aluminum, which conducts heat rapidly, vinyl does a much better job at preventing heat loss and maintaining a comfortable interior environment all year round.
Even within the category of vinyl windows, energy efficiency ratings can vary wildly depending on the manufacturer, glazing, insulation and more. That’s why it’s important to look for the ENERGY STAR symbol and compare key metrics such as U-factor, solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and energy rating.
Installation will also play a major role in determining the performance and return on investment of the windows. Even the most energy-efficient vinyl windows will lead to problems if air is allowed to pass around the frame.
All our window systems are available in both PVC or Vinyl.
