Why use vinyl replacement windows?
Vinyl replacement windows, manufactured from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are a popular choice among homeowners looking to replace windows in their homes, particularly the cheap, single-pane “contractor windows” that are built into many tract homes. Vinyl replacement windows have many advantages over other types of windows.Noise ProtectionVinyl replacement windows invariably are double-paned, so you get twice the noise protection as you would from ordinary single-pane windows.Easy InstallationVinyl replacement windows can be installed right over existing window frames, eliminating the need to call in a contractor to first remove the old window and then size, fit and stucco in the new window.Energy EfficiencyVinyl replacement windows help homeowners save on heating and cooling costs. Because they are double pane, they help the home retain its heat or cool temperature better. And the vinyl frames minimize the risks of leaks or drafts often found in wood or aluminum frame windows.Maintenance
