Phoenix Window Replacement Company Shares Vinyl Window Replacement Industry Insights
There are several choices in the types of window replacements available today. Krasiva Windows and Doors shares why vinyl replacement windows are so popular in the Phoenix commercial and residential setting.Â
One of the most popular home improvements for updating a home’s appearance and improving energy efficiency is a window replacement. Replacing older windows can make a huge difference in the aesthetic appeal, energy savings, and property value of the home. For those considering updating their home with new windows, one of the first choices is deciding on the frame material type. Out of the four major types of window frames — vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass, and wooden — vinyl replacement windows are among the most popular choices today, shares Phoenix experts, Krasiva Windows and Doors.Â
What Are Vinyl Windows?Â
When deciding on replacement windows, it is important to understand what a vinyl window is. Windows are classified first based on the type of framing. A vinyl window has a frame made from a polymer called Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
What makes this option special is its versatility. The polymer is mixed with additives to make it energy-efficient, stronger, and highly resistant to degradation caused by the elements, such as heat, UV rays, rain, and cold temperatures.Â
Common Types of Vinyl Windows
Just like in other types of framing, there are many different kinds of vinyl windows. Some of these include:Â
- Single slider windows also known as XO or OX windows
- Single-hung windows
- Double slider windows
- Double-hung windows
- XOX or triple slider windows
- Gas piston flip-out awning windows
- Bi-folding windows
- Pass through windows
- Pushout French casement windows
What Are The Top Advantages of Vinyl Windows?Â
Vinyl windows offer a host of benefits, and Krasiva Windows and Doors adds to those advantages by providing many customizations.Â
Energy EfficiencyÂ
Those living in Phoenix know that temperatures can get quite high in the daytime and dip low in the evenings. This temperature fluctuation can cause the HVAC system to work overtime trying to keep the home at a comfortable temperature. Replacing the old windows with vinyl windows provides added energy efficiency as the frames are made of a material that provides natural insulation and does not conduct heat or cold. This insulation paired with new window seals, can eliminate drafts and significantly reduce energy loss and waste.Â
Low Upkeep
Vinyl windows are also popular because they are a low-maintenance option. They never need to be painted because the color is the same all the way through unlike painted window frames.
Longevity
Many people are surprised to discover that higher end vinyl replacement windows often last longer than other windows. They may continue working properly for up to 40 years, outlasting both clad wood and aluminum framing.
Affordability
Another clear advantage to vinyl replacement windows is affordability. In addition to the savings they offer in energy efficiency and longevity, vinyl windows also cost significantly less than many other types of window framing. Most people also find they provide many more advantages, dollar for dollar.Â
Versatility
One of the best things about vinyl windows is that they can accommodate a wide range of versatility. Krasiva Windows and Doors is different from other window replacement companies in Phoenix because the Phoenix company works directly with the customer to create customized and specialized window designs including pentagon, half-circle, trapezoid, or triangle windows.Â
