Pros vs. Cons: your vinyl windows

  1. PRO: They are extremely energy efficient!
    This feature has become more and more important to homeowners over the years for many reasons. First, it saves us all money in the long-run because energy-efficient windows take the strain off your HVAC system (which lightens your monthly bill!). Second, we as a culture have become environmentally conscious about what we do and the impact we’re having on Mother Earth—this means, the windows we choose for our homes should be efficient!

  2. CON: They can’t boast that “traditionally rustic” feel
    Vinyl window frames have come a long way. In fact, you can get frames which look and are textured with a “wood grain” look. No, you can’t claim they’re real wood—but you don’t have to!

  3. PRO: They are easy to clean!
    This may be my favorite “pro.” Anything that’s easy to clean in my home I thoroughly appreciate. A damp, soapy wipe-down and your frames look as good as they did when they were first installed!

  4. CON: They can’t easily be painted.
    For some homeowners, this is a drawback; especially those who want to make changes to their exterior façade every 5-10 years or so (I know people like this!)—if that’s you, consider the semi-permanence of vinyl windows.

  5. PRO: They are quite durable!
    No need to worry about rust, warp, fading, or pitting—vinyl can withstand a LOT, without its integrity being compromised.
  6. CON: they may not work for historic buildings
    Vinyl windows look perfect for most structures—but if yours is a historic structure, this may not be the window frame material for you.

  7. PRO: They are very affordable
    You may already know this, but, vinyl is one of the most affordable building materials on the market. Who doesn’t love it when their money goes a long way?
