If you’re considering replacing your current windows, Vinyl windows will improve your home's energy efficiency, savings, and comfort throughout the year.

At Fasada, we have been dedicated to providing high-quality Vinyl windows for over 20 years, learn the reasons behind our long-standing commitment to vinyl windows.

Vinyl Windows are Energy Efficient

Vinyl windows have multi-chambered frames, which provide a rigid insulating system. Heat transfer is significantly reduced, so your house will be warm during winter and cool during summer. 

Some key reasons Vinyl windows are energy efficient include:

Insulating Frame Material

Vinyl, being a plastic material, has low conductivity so it can prevent the easy flow of heat or cold from outside the house to the interior of your home.

Double or Triple Glazing

Vinyl windows offer the option of double or triple glazing. Double glazing features two panes of glass separated by a layer of air or inert gas, typically argon. On the other hand, triple glazing includes three panes separated by two such gas-filled spaces. This reduces heat transfer and provides improved insulation compared to single-pane glass.

Low-e Glass Coating

Most Vinyl windows use low-emissivity, or Low-E, coatings on their glass. These coatings reflect infrared light, keeping the heat inside during the cold winter and outside during the warm summer months. This allows the inside temperature to remain more constant and puts less stress on your heating and cooling systems.

Affordability

With Vinyl windows, there are tremendous opportunities for cost savings. They are cheaper than wooden windows by, on average, 10% to 30%, which means they are even installed at half the cost in some instances.

Maintenance and Durability

Vinyl windows stand beyond comparison in their ease of maintenance and long service life. Because they have a non-porous surface, they don't collect dirt and grime. It only takes some soap and water to get them clean whenever it's necessary. Secondly, Vinyl is much stronger than wood; it features resistance to mold, scratches, and other dings and dents. Sunlight will not cause warping or rottenness despite constant exposure. 

Best of all, Vinyl windows require no painting, staining, or refurbishing; hence, they are comparatively hassle-free for both long-lasting performance and retaining aesthetic appeal.

Vinyl Windows vs. Other Materials

Vinyl windows excel in performance, as they require minimal maintenance and offer better durability compared to wood or aluminum windows. Unlike wood, which needs regular painting and is susceptible to rot, and aluminum, which lacks good insulation properties, Vinyl windows are both durable and good insulators, making it the right choice for energy efficiency.
