If your windows are old or drafty, it’s time to replace them with a newer and more energy-efficient model. Vinyl replacement windows are one of the smartest options with several benefits. Below is what you need to know before choosing this product for your home.

What You Should Know About Vinyl Replacement Windows

What are the benefits of vinyl replacement windows?

Unlike aluminum or wood, vinyl conducts very little heat between the interior of your home and the outdoors. Combined with modern glass options including multiple panes, an insulating gas layer, and UV films, you can enjoy a comfortable home and a lower heating bill.

How much will this cost?

Vinyl window frames are usually the least expensive option, beating out fiberglass, composite, and even wood. You’ll enjoy further savings due to their energy efficiency, and still more due to low maintenance costs, as they don’t need to be painted or stained. Additionally, vinyl replacement windows can last for up to 30 years, saving you money on repairs or replacements. 

What styles and colors are available?

With a full range of sizes, shapes, and styles available, vinyl windows will fit almost any opening. While vinyl windows are traditionally white, there is a wider selection of colors available that can suit any home. However, vinyl windows usually can’t be painted, so make sure you’re comfortable with your color choice.

Do they work with older homes?

Many homeowners choose wood over vinyl to preserve the historical look of their home; however, there is almost no visible difference between vinyl and painted wood. They block noise effectively and prevent unwanted drafts, allowing your heating system to distribute and maintain heat throughout the home. Vinyl replacement windows can even improve curb appeal because they are so easy to maintain and won’t fade or need to be repainted.
