What Is Vinyl?
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), usually known as vinyl, is created by combining ethylene and chlorine. PVC for windows comes in long lengths and then cut and fabricated to form various components of the window, such as the frame, sashes, and mullions.
White Vinyl Profile for Windows
Vinyl is quite popular, given its resilience against natural wear, such as the sun’s rays, humidity, decay, and rot. When it comes to replacement windows, these properties are pretty advantageous, especially in the harsh Ottawa climate. Thanks to vinyl’s durability, your new windows will withstand both cold winters and hot summers, while keeping you and your family at a comfortable temperature indoors year-round.
Plus, if you have wood windows and want to replace them with a material that resembles real wood, we have wood-stained vinyl windows perfectly suited to maintain the look of your home that you love.
Sash rails, jambs, sills, and other sections of your window which would otherwise be made out of wood are frequently built of cellular PVC because of its durability.
Types of Vinyl Windows
You may have heard about vinyl replacement windows and vinyl-clad windows. Is there a difference between them? To distinguish them from vinyl-clad windows, which are wooden windows with a thin vinyl coating on the surface, vinyl replacement windows, which are made fully out of vinyl, are commonly referred to as all-vinyl windows.
All-Vinyl Window Frames
Vinyl windows come in various styles that include:
So whether you want to maximize natural light in your home or let in more ventilation, our new vinyl windows in a variety of styles will be perfect. Our sales representatives will advise you on the best decision to make so you can enjoy your home all over again.
Features and Benefits of Vinyl Windows
When it comes to vinyl replacement window units, there are hundreds of alternatives, ranging from low-cost but inefficient to high-cost but high-tech.
However, price isn’t everything, and there are distinct variations when comparing premium and low-quality vinyl windows. Standard features and benefits of vinyl windows include:
1. Double or triple glazing
A sealed area between two panes of glass filled with argon is what makes up double-glazed windows. Triple-glazing adds a third layer of glass to the window, considerably reducing noise and beefing up the insulation properties of your vinyl windows.
2. Low-E coating
The coating is transparent, increasing the effectiveness of the glass by reflecting heat while allowing light to pass through. The coating is placed on the interior of the glass to retain the heat during the frigid Canadian winter.
It has good insulating properties, stopping heat loss and reflecting heat into the room, as well as allowing the heat of the winter sun to enter the room.
3. Sealing system
Although all ventilating windows have some sealing mechanism, it’s best to pick one with a robust seal that can endure weather and strain. The seal should always work because if it fails and regular air gets in the spaces, it forms condensation that is impossible to get rid of.
4. Vinyl window locking system
While virtually all ventilation windows will have some form of locking mechanism, the high-quality vinyl options have reliable and durable systems that serve you for longer, keeping any would-be intruders at bay.
All of our windows come with reinforced steel mechanisms that not only help the structural integrity of your window for decades to come but also ensure your safety and security in your home.
5. Self-cleaning glass
Some of the window options you get are self-cleaning. That means that they are coated with a thin hydrophobic layer, causing water to roll off in beads, leaving no trails or strains behind.
It doesn’t stop there. You can also enjoy security features like the vent lock and how easy the windows are to clean.
