Vinyl Replacement Windows


   Get rid of those old, leaking, ugly windows. Combine energy efficiency, value and low maintenance. New windows work better and smoother than aluminum or wooden ones.
   Putting in new vinyl replacement widows to replace old, wood, steel or aluminum windows is the current green trend. Maybe your current windows are painted shut or have just become worn and unattractive. Vinyl windows never needed painting so will not ever get painted shut. The windows work better and smoother than aluminum, wood or steel windows. Some vinyl windows are designed to look like painted wooden windows. These windows come most commonly in white however some vinyl windows come in specialty colors such as almond, bronze and hunter green.
   The windows are custom built to order. This means they can match your existing window sizes so there’s no need to disturb your home’s structural framing. In this way the windows can be installed without disturbing the wall inside or out. Therefore the seal around the window also does not get disturbed.
   The windows can be installed in 1 to 3 days depending on the number of windows so it would be a minimum inconvenience to you.
   Usually the windows and doors installed are “Dual Glazed”, which means they are made up of two pieces of glass that have a vacuum sealed air gap between them so weather can’t get in and the air conditioning or heating can’t get out. This provides more comfort, warmer winters and cooler summers. The windows actually pay for themselves through noticeable energy savings.
   There are “Single Hung” which means only the bottom window moves up and down.
   There are “Double Hung” which means both the top and the bottom window move up and down.
   The “Double Hung” windows are available with a feature called tilt-in which means they have a latch that allows you to tilt the windows in toward you to clean them. This feature is especially nice for windows that are on the second floor or in areas where it is hard to access it from the outside.
   There are “Casement” which means the window is hinged and swings out like a door.
   There are “Bay” windows which mean 3 windows joined at a 45 degree angle.
   There are “Bow” windows which mean 3, 4 or 5 windows joined at 13 degree angles.
   There are “Picture” windows which are non-opening windows.
   There are “Radius” windows which are windows that have one or more round sides.
   Also used to cut down energy costs are vinyl “Sliding Doors” and “Skylights”.
   All of the windows and doors are available with or without grids. This means they have a flat or sculptured grid between the two pieces of glass. This makes the windows look like separate small panes of glass.
