Frequently Asked Questions

I know energy efficiency is important, but can the glass really make that big of a difference?

Absolutely! A quality built vinyl replacement window can increase your R-value from 1 up to 9 depending on the glass system you select. These ratings are determined by 3rd party testing facilities to accurately rate windows so you compare and make a wise, energy saving decision.

What is the difference between the cheap vinyl windows I see advertised on TV versus Quality vinyl windows?

Yes, there are different qualities of windows available. The glazing technology, glass system, vinyl composite, profile and construction of the rails, are just a few things you need to consider.

Will replacement vinyl windows eliminate condensation?

Actually, no it won’t. Every home has air-born moisture vapor that is present which is a good thing. On a window, the greater the hot and cold differences on a window the more moisture turns into condensation However, high-quality vinyl windows incorporating warm-edge technology glazing systems can help to reduce condensation. How? Because windows built with warm-edge technology are much less thermally conductive than other window types, they help keep the temperature of the window warmer—minimizing the hot and cold differences that turn moisture into condensation.
