Utah vinyl windows have a lot of advantages over wood windows and are regularly increasing in popularity. In fact, vinyl windows are most often the windows of choice for residential new constructions and window replacements in Utah. For many homeowners, the most important advantage of vinyl windows is that they are extremely easy to take care of and maintain. They are extremely easy to wash compared to wood windows, especially in the tracks for the sashes. Also, unlike wood windows, vinyl windows never need to be repainted or refinished. They resist condensation so they don’t get water damaged, moldy, or rotted like wood windows can.

Another advantage of vinyl windows is their affordability.  Refitting a home with vinyl replacement windows instead of wood windows can cost thousands less. Vinyl windows come in various quality ranges, but all offer a low-cost solution. In addition, energy efficient vinyl windows provide excellent insulation which can greatly reduce energy bills. Along with lower energy bills, money-saving tax credits are available for energy efficient windows. 

Along with affordability, vinyl windows provide years of lasting beauty without the necessary staining and painting that wooden windows require. What’s more, vinyl windows from Advanced Window Products come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit any opening.  Because Advanced Window Products is the manufacturer, they can create a unique vinyl window solution for your needs.  Vinyl windows complement any home and offer many options, including different finishes, colors, grid patterns, unique window shapes, and hardware. 

Another large benefit of vinyl windows is their increased energy efficiency over the alternatives. Wood windows are mechanically or chemically fastened, allowing them to be negatively affected by the infiltration of air and water, resulting in drafts and leaks. They also lose energy efficiency quicker than vinyl windows do because of their greater expansion and contraction. Vinyl windows, on the other hand, are not prone to large heat losses or gains, and high-end designs usually have an extra interior energy strip for energy efficiency.

Replacement vinyl windows are an incredible investment.  They provide: increased performance, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and added beauty. Consumers buy replacement windows for multiple reasons. Performance reasons are often the most compelling—stuck windows can be annoying, inconvenient, inefficient, and unsafe.  Others opt for vinyl replacement windows to be free of the high maintenance required of their older windows. Maintenance on old windows includes scraping, painting, and caulking, but new vinyl windows are low maintenance or maintenance free and often include tilt features for easy cleaning of the exterior glass from inside the house. Old windows are often drafty and waste energy. New vinyl windows can considerably lower heating and cooling costs. Aesthetically, replacement vinyl windows improve the look of a property and add incredible resale value.

Perhaps you are unsure if it is, in fact, time for those old windows to go.  To save on heating and cooling bills and make your home more energy efficient, it is recommended to replace old windows if there are any of the following signs: warm spots near the inside of the window on hot days and cool spots on cold days; peeling paint on the frame or house exterior from improper sealing of the windows; frost or ice on the windows due to inadequate insulation; and deteriorated insulation around the window, which permits unwanted sounds and drafts inside. Also, there are tests that can indicate the need for new windows, including: holding a lit candle in front of the window edge to see if there are any flickers caused by drafts; tapping the window frames carefully to test for softness in the wood, which indicates decay; opening and closing windows to see if they are swollen shut or need to be propped to stay open; and shining a flashlight around the window frame to see if light comes through to the inside.

Window installation specialists also recommend replacing windows if there are problems such as cracked or broken glass, rotting, split, missing, or loose wooden parts, missing or brittle putty, or excessive water infiltration. The window experts at Advanced Window Products can help you decide if it is time to replace your old and inefficient windows and will help you decide on the perfect replacement windows for your home.

For homeowners interested in reducing their heating and cooling costs, they should consider purchasing new insulated alternative windows. Along with reduced monthly utility bills, homeowners will see how replacement windows will keep their home both warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
