PERFECT STEEL SOLUTIONS
“My husband and I had considered doing new windows in our home in the past but never thought too seriously about it. We had our free estimate and gathered a ton of helpful information. Once installation day came, everything went very smoothly. All of the workers were nice and professional and got the old windows out and the new windows in in a timely manner. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone looking to get new windows!”
– Chelsea Rager
Vinyl windows are one of the most popular types of windows installed around the country and are commonly found on homes right here in Fort Wayne, IN.
Vinyl was first introduced into the market following World War II when there was a shortage of wood and aluminum. Vinyl worked well because it was a low cost material and much more energy efficient. Although this still holds true, we’ve come a long way since then, when the material was first introduced.
Today’s vinyl is better, more durable, and resistant to moisture, humidity, and decay. At Perfect Steel Solutions, we’ll bring the best vinyl windows in the industry to homes throughout Fort Wayne. All you have to do is give us a call.
Vinyl Windows: Understanding the Makeup
Vinyl is a man-made material created from ethylene and chlorine. Once these materials are processed, they combine to form Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), or vinyl for short. Because vinyl is man made, it is very resistant to natural wear and tear like moisture, rot, and decay. For these reasons, it’s a major player in the construction industry. Other benefits of vinyl windows include:
Energy Efficiency: Vinyl windows seal and insulate thoroughly to give your home a boost in energy efficiency. Their insulating properties keep your home protected from outside elements throughout the year and can result in lower energy costs. Additionally, vinyl can be recycled, making it environmentally friendly as well.
Low-Maintenance: Vinyl windows are basically maintenance free. A basic cleaning and the occasional lubricant is all they really need to keep them in perfect working condition.
Durability: In the early years, vinyl was subject to peelings, warping, and cracking. Today’s vinyl is superior in every way and offers exceptional durability. You don’t have to worry about your windows warping or cracking.
Aesthetics: Vinyl windows are a beautiful, classic look for any home. They come in white and a variety of neutral colors, so there’s no need to sand or paint windows ever again. Today’s vinyl uses color throughout the vinyl extrusion process, which makes nicks and scratches less visible than painted vinyl.
Lifespan: On average, vinyl windows will last a homeowner in Fort Wayne for at least 30 years.
Window Repair and Installation
Today’s windows are made to be the tightest and most energy efficient they have ever been. However, you may not get all of the benefits of vinyl windows without professional installation. A DIY installation of your windows can lead to small mistakes that can cause significant problems down the road. Replacement or installation of vinyl windows on your home remodel can be an easy process, if handled by a professional.
Although they are lighter, easier, and faster to install than other types of windows, vinyl windows don’t add as much to the resale value of a house as other types of window. If you’re concerned about adding resale value to your home, you may want to consider composite windows.
Vinyl vs. Composite: Which is the Best Choice for My Home?
As vinyl windows are easier and quicker to make, they typically cost less than windows made from a composite material. Composite windows cost more than vinyl windows, but they also have a higher insulating value than vinyl. Here’s a few questions to ask when choosing between vinyl and composite windows:
How long do you plan on staying in your current home? Composite windows tend to last a little bit longer than vinyl. If you’re putting windows in a home you plan to be in for more than 30 years, composite might be the way to go.
Are you looking to increase resale value? If you don’t plan to stay in your house forever, composite may add additional resale value to your property.
What is your budget? Composite windows are typically more expensive than vinyl, so if you’re working within a budget – vinyl might be the better option.
Do you have custom window sizes? It is more difficult to customize vinyl windows, as the vinyl is difficult to mold. If you have odd window shapes or sizes, composite might be a better choice.
