Replacement Window Types

Vinyl is a superior insulator compared wood or aluminum. It doesn’t conduct heat nor does it conduct cold like aluminum – which is the major source of lost heating/cooling. And, it won’t swell and shrink like wood when temperatures change. It never needs painting and won’t show scratches, unlike aluminum or wood windows.

Today, over 75% of replacement windows are vinyl. But just because a window is made of vinyl doesn’t mean it is a better-quality product. The design, engineering and manufacturing of the window all help distinguish a poor window from a superior window.

R-value

The thing to remember when taking into account an R-value is that the higher the R-value number is the greater the insulation value. As with any measure of energy efficiency, it’s not so much what’s considered acceptable, as what is acceptable to you. Insulation in the sash and/or mainframe of a vinyl window can significantly up the R-value of a window frame. Check for the availability of this feature when assessing a window’s energy efficiency.

Glass is rated in R-values also – the same used to rate window frames. The type of glass, thickness, number of panes, distance between the panes, as well as, the manner in which panes are connected, all affect the R-value performance of the window.
