Four Benefits of New Vinyl Windows for Your Wheaton Home

Published , By Brian Olson

Not sure if you want to go with vinyl or wood replacement window frames for your Wheaton home?

When you’re looking to replace the windows in your home, it’s important that you consider several factors. For example, you’ll need to think about a modern vs. traditional look, the price you’re willing to pay, energy-efficiency, color options, ease of maintenance, and more.

Although each window frame material has its own charm, aesthetic appeal, and functionality benefits, we’ll focus specifically on one of the most popular window materials today—vinyl.

In this post, we are going to cover the top four benefits of choosing new vinyl windows for your Wheaton home:

1. Multi-glazed Options

Vinyl windows are multi-glazed, meaning they have one or more layers of glass and air, which provides much better insulation than windows that don’t have glazing. “Multi-glazed” basically mean that they are better at keeping the heat in during the winter months and preventing cool air from leaking out during the summer months. Double-glazed are the most common type of vinyl windows, but triple-glazed vinyl windows are also becoming increasingly popular today due to the incredible savings they provide in terms of energy costs.

2. Choice of Color, Style and Size

When choosing vinyl windows, you have an amazing choice of window styles, colors, and sizes to choose from. Whether you want to go for sliding windows, double hung windows, or casement windows, you’ll be able to mix and match the styles and colors you want based on the layout and aesthetic of each room. You can also decide to go for the beautifully stylish bow or bay window styles as well. No matter what you choose, vinyl windows provide clean, sharp lines and crisp styles that give your home an elegant and modern appeal.

3. Easy Maintenance

Vinyl replacement windows are very easy to clean and maintain, and they are very resistant to scratches. You could literally clean them with a regular store-bought vinyl window cleaner, or just plain soap and water. Another key advantage is that vinyl windows do not age quickly, and they do not require any painting or scraping.

4. Cost-effectiveness

You’ll be surprised by the cost benefits of replacing the windows in your home with vinyl windows. Vinyl replacement windows offer so many benefits in terms of choice, energy-savings, and maintenance, that it almost seems too good to be true.

And not just that—vinyl replacement windows are sure to improve the resale value of your home, especially if you have triple-glazed vinyl windows.

One thing to note is that, if you require customizations or need your vinyl windows to be resized or shaped to a custom size, then it will cost extra. However, this is true of any window frame material.

It’s also important to be aware that, under extreme weather conditions, vinyl can discolor (especially under intense heat). That being said, since they cannot be painted, you’ll either need to leave the windows as is or replace them. However, under normal Wheaton weather circumstances, this would most likely not be expected.

If you’re looking to give your home a fresh, upgraded look at an affordable cost, vinyl windows always a great choice.
