Advantages

Today’s vinyl windows and doors are more energy efficient, weather better and are lower cost.

 

  • Soaring energy costs are driving state and local building codes toward lower U-factor standards.
  • Vinyl windows and doors are 40% + more energy efficient – Vinyl windows deliver a typical U-factor of 0.35 vs. 0.60 for aluminum. *(source: The Efficient Window Collaborative, dual-pane Low-e)
  • Vinyl windows and doors meet Energy Star program U-factor requirements where aluminum windows and doors often can’t.
  • Proven to meet coastal Hurricane-Impact requirements and codes.
  • Vinyl windows and doors offer fully welded corner construction for superior protection from air and water infiltration compared to typical mechanically-fastened aluminum methods – providing more protection against litigation due to leaks, mold, etc.
