Why Choose Vinyl Window Replacements?

by Delores Chavez

There are many reasons you might want to replace your windows. Over time, older windows can become damaged or warped in such a way that means they don't seal as well as they used to. You may simply be tired of looking at the same windows day in and day out. No matter what your reasons are, you can find replacement windows that add beauty and functionality to your house. Many older homes were built with wooden windows, but wood has several drawbacks that aren't found in newer materials. Vinyl replacement windows are superior in many ways. Here are three reasons you might want to replace your old windows with vinyl windows:

1. Vinyl windows are easy to clean. 

Everyone's skin contains natural oils. Even if you can't see or feel it, your hands are covered in these natural oils too. When you touch things, you deposit sebum, which can allow dirt and grime to accumulate on the surfaces in your house over time. It can be difficult to get stains out of wood, especially if it has been painted with a matte finish. On the other hand, vinyl is incredibly easy to clean. You can simply wipe it down with a damp, soapy cloth. Vinyl windows are easy to keep stain-free with regular cleaning, even if you choose vinyl in a white finish. This makes it an ideal material for families with small children who may touch things with dirty hands.

2. Vinyl is waterproof.

Vinyl is not a porous material, which makes it the ideal window material for areas that receive a lot of annual rainfall. Most wooden windows are painted with weather-resistant materials, but over time, that coating can flake or chip away. The exposed wood is porous and can absorb water, which will cause your window to swell and possibly crack. With waterproof vinyl windows, you never have to worry about water damage.

3. Vinyl comes in many different colors.

Wood can be painted to match the interior and exterior of your house. However, paint doesn't last forever. It will need to be repainted and touched up over time. On the other hand, vinyl can be manufactured in any color imaginable. Since the color of vinyl is intrinsic, you will never have to worry about repainting it. This can save you both time and money over the course of your windows' lifespan. However, if you'd like to change the color of your vinyl windows at some point in the future, they can be painted.
