This product has improved significantly since it first appeared on the market in the 1960s. Although some homeowners still prefer the natural appearance of wood, today&#8217;s vinyl windows offer several important advantages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: black;\">Efficiency<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: black;\">This material provides better insulation. It enhances indoor comfort while cutting your heating and cooling bills. You won&#8217;t feel drafts when you sit near a window. Both vinyl and modern wooden windows muffle outdoor noise; extra layers of glass will improve the results.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: black;\">Durability<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: black;\">A rotting wooden frame may eventually damage a large portion of the wall. It could also attract carpenter ants or termites. Vinyl doesn&#8217;t have these problems. It withstands high humidity levels and deters pests. This helps protect all of your home&#8217;s materials and ensures that your windows continue to work properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: black;\">Maintenance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: black;\">Vinyl requires much less upkeep. Unlike wooden surfaces, the sashes and frames don&#8217;t need painting. You won&#8217;t have to scrape off old paint or worry about damaging the glass. This advantage also eliminates the risk that your sashes will become stuck in place after painting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: black;\">Likewise, vinyl has smooth, non-porous surfaces that you can quickly clean. This material won&#8217;t become stained as easily as wood. These low-maintenance windows don&#8217;t just save time and money; they&#8217;re likely to look better because you won&#8217;t put off cleaning tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: black;\">To sum it up, this product decreases heating and cooling expenses, reduces your environmental impact and lasts many years with relatively little upkeep. Although it provides all of these valuable benefits, vinyl costs substantially less than wood. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dwwindows.com\/contact-us.html\"><span style=\"color: #0073e5;\">Please contact us<\/span><\/a> to learn more about installing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dwwindows.com\/windows.html\"><span style=\"color: #0073e5;\">new windows<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Americans buy windows for their homes, over 50 percent choose vinyl.
