Why vinyl? Vinyl continues to be the overwhelming material of choice of homeowners. Vinyl windows have dominated the booming home improvement business for many years. Vinyl has rapidly replaced wood and aluminum as the most popular material used in residential windows. This popularity is due in part to vinyl's characteristics that deliver impressive thermal performance and eliminate maintenance. Vinyl's toughness and durability make it the most widely used plastic for building and construction applications such as siding, windows, single-ply roofing membranes, fencing, decking, wallcoverings and flooring.

Your home is a prime candidate for replacement windows if it was built more than seven years ago with either aluminum or wood. Back then, less thought was given to energy-saving windows partly because energy was inexpensive. Homes were built quickly with inefficient single pane or inadequate double pane windows. Many builders installed windows back then that would not even pass today's building codes! Home Craftsman vinyl windows and PowerPane glass technology were simply unavailable.
Meanwhile, energy costs continue to rise. Locally, natural gas prices have increased about 8% from a year ago, and electricity costs have gone up about 9%. Energy costs are likely to continue to increase in the future. Utility officials recommend that homeowners take steps to make their homes more energy efficient to reduce their heating bills and cut air conditioning costs. Replacing old fashioned, conventional steel, aluminum, or wood windows with our energy-saving vinyl products is a substantive home improvement that will reap long-term energy savings.
A study comparing the economics of vinyl building products to "traditional" materials found significant cost savings in using vinyl products. Please use these links to learn more about vinyl the material. How is vinyl made?

Vinyl windows dominate the replacement and remodeling market. Every year, more vinyl windows are installed than any other window type.
