Replacing your windows is a major investment, and not something homeowners have to worry about too often. Most people don’t even think about it until their old windows become intolerable. It is no wonder so many people have questions when it comes to the right material for their new windows. If you want the right products at the right price, then you will need to do a little research. Here are some frequently asked questions about vinyl windows to help you get started.
1. How Does Vinyl Compare to Other Materials?
Compared to all other materials, vinyl windows are usually the most affordable option. However, that lower price doesn’t mean you are settling for lower quality. Vinyl is durable and long lasting. It also maintains shape in extreme temperatures and will not warp or fade. And because the material does not conduct heat, vinyl windows are great insulators. With so many benefits it is no wonder these windows are some of the most popular options on the market.
2. Do Vinyl Windows Require Special Maintenance?
Unlike wood that you need to sand down and refinish every couple of years, vinyl does not need any special maintenance to stay looking like new. You simply wash your windows and window frames every couple of months with mild soap and glass cleaner. You should also clear out the track and spray it with a silicone lubricant to keep operation smooth and easy. Aside from that, you have very little to worry about.
3. Do I still Have Style and Color Options?
While your choices are not as varied as wood or fiberglass, you still have options. Vinyl is highly versatile. You can choose from picture, casement, awning, sliding, bay, double-hung. In addition to a variety of styles, you also have several color options to choose from. For the most part you will have neutral color choices like white, ivory, tan, and brown. But there are also some brands that include bolder options as well. You are sure to find vinyl windows to suite your personal taste.
4. When Can I Install Vinyl Windows?
You do not have to wait for a certain time of year. Professional installers can place your windows anytime, rain or shine. And because windows are such an important feature in your home, you do not want to put off installation waiting for the ideal conditions.
5. How Do Vinyl Windows Look?
Amazing! Vinyl windows can improve the look of any room in any home, especially if you have been putting the upgrade off for a while. You can match them to the architectural style of your home and get a great return on your investment if you are looking to sell.
