WOOD & VINYL
REPLACEMENT WINDOWS ARE NOT ALL THE SAME
What materials are best for my new wood
or vinyl windows,
especially in Denver and Colorado?
 Low-grade
Vinyl
Low-grade vinyl can bend, bow, and discolor leaving your investment
all for not. Many lower grades are less expensive. For Colorado replacement
windows, it's best to use a higher-grade vinyl, such as virgin or uiPVC,
because of the amount of ultra-violet rays we are exposed to at a mile
above sea level.
Our exposure to UV rays will ultimately fade most things from its original
color, however a high-grade vinyl will diminish fading to a minimum
as well as fade evenly. Low-grade vinyl could oxidize, warp, blister,
peel, and swell in just a few years.
Virgin
Vinyl
Virgin vinyl is rugged, durable, and virtually maintenance-free. The
material's low thermal conductivity makes it a good choice for window
manufacturing. It assures that our windows will never rot, peel, blister,
swell or deteriorate from corrosion or pitting. Virgin vinyl windows
will never require staining or painting. Single and two-tone color options
available!
uiPVC
New Generation Vinyl
Containing all the features of virgin vinyl but with superior characteristics,
the most advanced material found in the market today. Specially formulated
uiPVC (polyvinyl-chloride), New Generation vinyl withstands harsh weather
and wear-and-tear better, with through-and-through color to resist the
appearance of scratching and look like new for years to come! Single
and two-tone color options available!
Wood-Clad
Wood-clad windows are wood inside and maintenance free outside. Several
exterior color options in aluminum, fiberglass, or vinyl are available
as well as raw wood. Wood windows allow for the option to stain or paint
your windows whichever color you choose. Wood-clad windows are can cost
up to double that of vinyl windows. The increased costs come from the
extra labor involved in manufacturing and installing wood windows. We
will custom build wood windows in most applications.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass offers the strength of aluminum and the non-conductivity
of vinyl.  This
window can be completely maintenance free or offer the option to stain/paint
wood inside. Two-tone color options available!
