Vinyl windows combine durability, remarkable energy efficiency, and low cost. Early vinyl windows had problems with thermal expansion and stability in very hot environments. These problems have been solved, and modern vinyl windows are durable and dimensionally stable. Naturally, like all materials, vinyl has its benefits and drawbacks:
Benefits:
Exceptionally energy efficient
Vinyl is extremely durable and non-corroding
Vinyl windows are virtually maintenance-free
Available in a wide range of styles and shapes
Vinyl windows are cost effective
Downsides:
Vinyl windows cannot be painted – but are often available in white and various neutral colors
There are differences in the quality of vinyl made by different manufacturers, based on the exact formula that is used to make the vinyl. For example, Titanium Dioxide makes the vinyl more heat resistant. If you have an unusual environment, let us know, and Rayco will take these issues into consideration when helping you select the right windows for your project.
Vinyl windows are a cost effective and virtually maintenance-free choice for many house renovation and building projects. Rayco is an authorized dealer for most window manufacturers:
