Most residential builders are moving away from aluminum frames, opting for vinyl, double-pane windows instead. Aluminum frames do not provide adequate insulation during the summer or winter months, and in cold months they may even become cool enough to produce condensation inside of the window frame.

Advantages of Vinyl Window Frames

Vinyl, also known as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is a durable, insulative form of plastic. PVC is maintenance-free, and resists denting and abrasion with impact. Many residents select vinyl products because they can specify a material color without having to apply or maintain a finishing coat. PVC frames are available in a variety of finishes, including shiny and matte styles and simulated wood grain. Since the finish runs all the way through the product, there is no need to sand, stain or repaint them on a regular basis.

Vinyl products are economical whether installed in a new home or used to replace windows in an older home. While replacement windows are a substantial investment, many homeowners make up the cost in energy savings over a few seasons. Combining PVC frames with double-paned glass allows residents to save even more in cooling and heating expenses. New PVC developments have also improved its durability, preventing it from degrading with sunlight, heat or cold.
