A vinyl window can be inexpensive, durable and
remarkably energy efficient when designed
properly to minimize thermal transfer. While
early vinyl windows had problems with thermal
expansion and stability in very hot environments,
modern vinyl windows dallas are much more durable
and dimensionally stable.
3
Look for vinyl window frames with heat-welded
joints - they're stiffer than mechanically joined
vinyl frames and thus provide better resistance
to temperature stresses. Interior webs also
strengthen the frame and improve its thermal
performance.

Vinyl windows are made primarily from polyvinyl
chloride (PVC). This material has many
advantages, including being virtually
maintenance-free. It can't be painted, but is
often available in white and various neutral
colors that complement many house colors. Because
the color goes all the way through the material,
scratches and dings are nearly impossible to see.
Consequently, a vinyl window or patio door can
look nearly new for years.
5
There will be differences in the quality of one
manufacturer's vinyl compared to another. This is
because a vinyl window frame is made from a
compound - a recipe of sorts - that dictates its
performance over time.
6
Each additive to a company's vinyl recipe helps
determine the long-term characteristics of the
final product, like its weather and impact
resistance. For example, Titanium Dioxide makes
the vinyl more heat resistant.
7
At first glance, competing windows may look the
same, but there can be key differences in the
vinyl recipe used and how vinyl parts are formed
to make a window structurally strong and optimize
insulation performance.

Convenience Our vinyl
windows are maintenance-free and never need
painting. The tilt-in sashes make cleaning from
inside your home, quick and trouble-free.

• Efficiency 
• Solid vinyl (PVC) is an excellent insulator and
  dramatically reduces the transfer of heat and
  cold. Double weather-stripping and deep
  interlocks stop wind and water from seeping into
  your home. Our custom made insulated glass units
  are made in-house and engineered to provide
  optimum efficiency, durability, and energy
  conservation.
