Not all Vinyl Windows are Created Equal
2

• Windows with vinyl frames are a smart choice
  when considering new windows for replacement or
  for new construction. Unlike wood, vinyl windows
  and patio doors will NEVER rot, swell, split or
  require any painting. When compared to aluminum
  or fiberglass, vinyl will NEVER corrode, pit or
  again, require any painting. Vinyl windows are
  pretty much completely maintenance free- just an
  occasional washing with mild soap (Glass-Rite
  loves Soft Scrub for vinyl frames) and your
  windows will look brand new for years.

• Though vinyl windows offer better thermal
  performance than aluminum or wood windows, not
  all vinyl is created equal. All of todays vinyl
  windows are made up of a compound of carefully
  blended additives and resin. The PVC resin is any
  recipes main component, and what is added to that
  resin is what truly differentiates long-lived
  windows from failures. The phrase virgin vinyl
  is truly misleading and false.

• A high quality formula compounded at optimum
  levels ensures a long life for your windows in
  the harshest of environments. This is important
  to us here in New Mexico with our temperature
  swings, dust and wind storms, and our harsh
  sunlight. At Glass-Rite we use MikronBlend vinyl
  for our Energy Quest vinyl windows which has been
  formulated and time-tested in the field for the
  long haul. Its blended to withstand the toughest
  conditions and standards.

• Ingredients like titanium dioxide and calcium
  carbonate provide UV exposure protection while
  stabilizers prevent degradation and protection
  from discoloration. Impact modifiers provide
  stability and protection from cracking or
  shattering. What you end up with is a vinyl that
  flows better when extruded to give the smoothest
  possible finish.

Competition

• A smooth finish on vinyl windows is important,
  because the smoother the vinyl is on a
  microscopic level the less opportunity there is
  for pitting and discoloration. A smooth vinyl
  frame wont readily collect dirt, grime and
  pollution.
