Vinyl replacement windows in Portland, OR have quickly become some of the most popular products on the market. But when it comes time to decide on the new products, homeowners still have a lot of questions about vinyl windows. At EnergyGuard Windows & Doors we take great pride in our products. We want to offer high quality windows at an affordable price. More than that, we want to help our customers find the right options for their home and make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible. That is why we put together the following information based on some of the most common questions we get about replacement windows made from vinyl:
How Long do Vinyl Windows Last?
Several things contribute to the lifespan of a window. It starts with the material, construction, and installation. High quality products that are built right and installed right will last longer than low quality products. Homeowners also have to consider temperature, weather, direct sunlight, use, and location. There is also the matter of proper maintenance. That said, most vinyl windows last about 15 to 20 years or more.
Will Vinyl Windows Work in an Older Home?
Regardless of age or style, vinyl windows can be the perfect solution for and add value to most homes. Vinyl is a highly versatile material. It is energy efficient, durable, and easy to maintain. Manufactures can make vinyl windows in almost any size, style, and shape. They also come in a range of colors meant to complement most aesthetics—from traditional to modern. The only time vinyl windows may not prove to be the best option is if homeowners live in a historic home that needs to be maintained as such.
Are Vinyl Windows Secure?
It is true, vinyl is not the strongest material on the window market. But that does not mean these windows will not be able to protect the home against extreme weather or intruders. These windows have several security features meant to handle nearly anything life can throw at them—quite literally. From durable frame construction to sturdy locks and hardware, vinyl windows can offer ultimate protection when it comes to safety and security. This is especially true if vinyl frames are paired with impact resistant glazing options.
What are the Color Options on Vinyl Replacement Windows?
Our vinyl windows come in ten different standard and premium color options. That way our customers have design flexibility. Though there are not as many options as you would have with wood, aluminum, and fiberglass, homeowners still find something to complement their home. A few options include white, tan, bronze, espresso, sand, and ivory.
