The Benefits of Vinyl Windows

Upgrade Your Home’s Look and Efficiency

Many homeowners throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania choose vinyl for their replacement windows, and we recommend them here at NexGen Exterior Home remodeling as well. The benefits of vinyl windows are extensive and include affordability, a low total cost of ownership, and a long product lifespan with little to no maintenance required. The installer you choose is just as important as the product, and NexGen is an established and trusted window installation contractor. We sell only the best windows with the top warranties, and our vinyl window installers are all highly skilled and experienced.

What Are Vinyl Windows?

In order to appreciate the benefits of vinyl windows fully, it helps to understand what this product is. Windows have traditionally been made from wood, but vinyl windows are made from polyvinyl chloride, which is abbreviated PVC. This is one of the most popular construction materials in the world because it’s strong and durable while also being relatively inexpensive. Another benefit of PVC is that it is a 100% recyclable material. There are three main types of windows made using vinyl: standard, engineered, and composite. Standard vinyl windows are made entirely of PVC and are the least expensive option. Engineered vinyl refers to proprietary blends that have additional ingredients that strengthen the PVC and give it additional properties, and composite windows incorporate vinyl and one or more other primary materials. A popular example of composite is a wood-clad window, which has a real wood interior and thus all the benefits of a wood window but a vinyl exterior for ease of maintenance.

A Closer Look at Vinyl Window Benefits

As mentioned, one of the top benefits of vinyl windows is price. These windows are much more affordable than traditional wood windows, and that can make a significant difference when you’re replacing all the windows in a home. Vinyl windows also have an expected lifespan of between 20 and 40 years, and that means that they provide an excellent total cost of ownership too. These windows also require little to no maintenance unlike wood windows, which have to be repainted and reglazed. Vinyl windows are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, moisture, and heat. They’re also very energy efficient and available in a wide range of colors and designs while also providing excellent sound dampening.

Improve Your Home’s Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is one of the notable benefits of vinyl windows, and many of the products we sell have earned Energy Star certification. These windows have a high thermal resistance and a high U-factor in particular, which is a measure of heat loss. In other words, investing in energy-efficient windows will make heating and cooling your home cheaper over the lifespan of the window.

The Best Replacement Windows

Curb appeal is an important consideration when investing in new windows that you’ll be looking at for decades to come, and among the most important benefits of vinyl windows is that they’re available in an extensive variety of styles and colors. All window types are made with vinyl as well. That includes traditional hung windows but also casement, sliding, awning, and much more.

Single-Hung Windows

Single-hung windows are similar to double-hung windows but have just one sash that moves up and down. These windows are more affordable but generally reserved for the ground floor due to cleaning considerations.

Double-Hung Windows

Double hung refers to the window having two independent sashes that move up and down. This is the most prevalent window style, and modern double-hung windows have sashes that incline for easier cleaning.

Awning Windows

An awning window is similar to a casement window except that the hinge is positioned at the top as opposed to the side. This lets the window open upward and keeps the rain out during bad weather.

Garden Windows

Garden windows extend out from the home and have four glassed sides and a flat interior surface. They’re a popular choice in kitchens and provide a great spot for houseplants and herbs.

Casement Windows

Casement windows feature an unobstructed glass pane and a hinge that lets the window open out to the side. These windows are easy to open and close and allow for ample natural sunlight and ventilation.

Other Window Types

NexGen’s expert window installers install all manner of windows. That includes custom, sliding, picture, bay, floor-to-ceiling, hopper, egress, glass block, and louvered windows.

Signs You Need New Windows

Age is the leading reason windows need to be replaced, and we encourage homeowners to replace their windows proactively rather than in response to a problem. You should also keep an eye on your windows and watch for problematic signs. Drafty windows are costing you money each month. Excess moisture is going to develop into a more serious problem over time. You should also replace windows that are difficult to open or close or which have damage to the glass or frame that is more than superficial.
