A Guide to Vinyl Replacement Windows

Vinyl windows have been around for decades but at first, they were bulky, unattractive, and regarded as inferior.

Vinyl windows have come a long way from the early days. Today homeowners and builders choose vinyl for both full replacement and retrofit applications.

Made from PVC material, used in many other building applications, these windows won’t peel, warp or bend even after years in the elements. PVC polymers mix well with pigments to create windows in vibrant colors and in all shapes and forms.
