Vinyl Replacement Windows

So you are thinking about purchasing vinyl replacement windows for your home.  Proper planning is a must and will help to give you the assurance that you have chosen the right windows to suit your needs, goals and budget, when the time comes.

So first, determine the reason why you want to replace your windows.  One of the most common reasons is energy efficiency but could include appearance, deterioration and/or maintenance ease.  Once you have determined the reason, you will next want to set a budget factoring in the quality of the product.  The number of windows to be replaced will also play a big part in determining the most economical style.

Fortunately, vinyl replacement windows not only satisfies any reasons you may have for making a change, but also offers a wide range of prices to suit anyone’s budget and style.   Your new vinyl replacement windows will be more energy efficient especially if you are switching from single pane to dual pane windows.  In choosing energy efficient window, it helps to have a little knowledge about how they are rated.  Be sure to look for these energy performance ratings:

  • The U-factor or U-value tells you how quickly heat can escape through your windows.  Most windows have a U-factor between 0.20 and 1.20.  A lower number is generally better.
  • The R-value measures how well a window performs as an insulator.  The higher R-value means better insulation.
  • The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) number indicates the windows capability to block heat from the sun.  The range is from 0 to 1.0 with 0 being the best.
  • The Visible Transmittance (VT) measures the amount of light that can get in.  The higher the number, the more light you will see.
  • Air Leakage (AL) rating tells you how much air leaks threw the window.  A lower number is better.

 

Energy efficient choices can save families up to as much as a third on their energy bill and similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions.  Energy Star is a joint program of the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy.  You will encounter many choices in your quest so look for products that have the Energy Star approval.  However, a word of caution…you will want to check with the manufacturer directly to determine if a particular model is Energy Star qualified for your area as climate can be a factor.

It is not difficult to find windows that meet or exceed Energy Star standards.  All the top brands, such as Anderson, Milgard, Pella and Paradigm to name a few, offer qualifying windows.  Warranties will vary so you will also want to keep that in mind.
