VINYL WINDOWS

Cons of Vinyl Window Replacement

Because vinyl window frames can be customized so quickly, cheaper, factory ready options are less common. However, depending on your chosen company, coming up with a customized shape and color combination that fits your vision and budget is usually no problem.

Vinyl windows shouldn’t be painted, so it’s important to know going in that custom measurements are typically easier than custom colors.

Picking an interior finish for your window replacement is sometimes more difficult when taking into consideration that it must match your interior decor until the next time you need to update them.

This can also prove challenging when attempting to match the exterior of the house. Choosing a finish to match your siding, roof, and gutter system combination can be difficult, but with the help of our Exterior Design Center and our mockup technology, we can walk you through multiple options so you feel confident in your decision.

Chemicals are used in the vinyl window creation process, which makes them less environmentally-friendly than other options. With other more natural window processes, more environmentally-conscious homeowners may choose an alternative.

Compared to windows made of wood or aluminum, some replacement vinyl windows have thicker frames and sashes. This means that the borders around the glass are more prominent, which may result in a modest decrease in the amount of natural light entering your home and a smaller viewing area.
