Vinyl Window Benefits: Vinyl windows are designed to conserve energy. The vinyl U-Factor is better than aluminium. Vinyl windows
provide high durability and low maintenance. Vinyl is impervious
to rot, rust, corrosion, blistering, flaking and infestation by termites/insects - better than wood. Vinyl can be recycled repeatedly - over 1 billion lbs of vinyl was recycled in 1997.
Vinyl is inherently fire retardant - additional saftey. Over half of vinyl is made from salt an abundant natural resource. Vinyl accounts for less than 0.3 % of all annual oil and gas consumption.
