Ever wonder about what type of window you’re getting placed in your home? Most likely it’s vinyl! We’ve got answers to your frequently asked questions so you can take the confusion out of shopping for your new windows! 

1. What exactly is vinyl material? 

   1. Vinyl material is usually made of Polyvinyl chloride. It is the world’s third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer after polyethylene and polypropylene. About 40 million tons are produced per year.

2. What makes Vinyl Windows strong?

   1. Vinyl shapes are designed with multi-hollow cavities for stiffness, and properly reinforced in all the major structural areas. 
   2. Vinyl window frames offer many advantages because they require little maintenance and are easily manufactured into almost any shape. These windows have a much higher thermal performance than old wood windows of the past. Vinyl frames do not need to be painted because the color is uniform throughout. They do not swell, shrink, peel, or corrode, which makes them the ideal material for windows. 

3. Are Vinyl Windows Energy Efficient. 

   1. Old aluminum windows absorbed all the heat from the sun and tended to allow the insulating gas to escape from the window when the frame expanded or contracted. This problem is virtually nonexistent with Vinyl Windows. Vinyl windows will always have the added advantage over their metal, wood and aluminum counterparts because of their multi-chambered frame construction. This design provides not only added strength and durability, but also makes it possible for the foam insulation to be injected into the frame increasing the insulating properties of vinyl windows. At Conservation Construction all of our windows are injected with this special foam to create extra energy efficiency. 
   2. First, window glass is sealed around the seams of both pains of glass to ensure the gas doesn’t escape. Secondly, the vinyl frame is fitted around the glass and flexes in extreme temperatures. This way it holds its shape and integrity throughout the windows life! At Conservation Construction we measure the windows, and then cut them to fit at your home, ensuring the tightest seal possible. 

4. What Makes A Good Vinyl Window?

   1. A good vinyl double hung should have its sashes hooking into each other as well as the window frame. This creates a strong and solid barrier that prevents air from leaking out. Reinforcement in the window add strength and stability to the windows. Are meeting rails are reinforced with steel.

5. What is Low-E Coating?

   1. Low-E coating is a layer of protection that is sprayed on the glass that remains there for life. The E in the word Low-E stands for Emissivity. This is the ability of a material to radiate heat. So reducing the emissivity of one or more of the window glass surfaces improves a window’s insulating properties. At Conservation Construction we use a specialized Low-E coating. The coating on our glass offers the best balance of high visibility and solar control. You’ll still be able to see all those beautiful views while protecting your home from the sun.
