Bright Times Ahead for High Tech Vinyl Replacement Windows

Homeowners are catching on to triple-paned, vinyl windows to achieve maintenance-free beauty without the cost and drudgery of continual maintenance.

(PRWEB) May 16, 2007 -- Triple-paned vinyl replacement windows can now guarantee decades of maintenance-free beauty to homes.

The house looks 100 percent better, and I have a crystal clear view through my windows no matter what the weather

For homeowners looking to upgrade the aesthetics of their most prized possession, the ideal windows will bring improved lighting and ventilation while enhancing curb appeal and view. But if homeowners aren't careful, they may empty their wallets and consume precious weekends with laborious maintenance tasks.

Though most windows look great the day they're installed, temperature extremes, sun, wind, rain, and snow soon leave many faded, discolored, chipped, cracked, warped or in otherwise unsightly disrepair. Over time wood degrades, aluminum corrodes, and all-vinyl materials lose shape. Low quality windows become difficult to open and even more difficult to clean. Scraping, sanding, puttying, repainting, and other maintenance tasks become necessary.

To enhance the beauty and comfort of their homes, and protect their wallets and weekends, proactive homeowners are switching from traditional wood, aluminum, and vinyl windows to state-of-the-art, triple-paned units designed to look "as good as new" and operate "maintenance-free" decades after installation.

Finally able to put in new landscaping
Kathleen Strachan knew it was time to upgrade the appearance of her ranch style home in Eden, New York. Against wind chills down to -50º F and summer heat approaching 100º F, her single pane, wooden windows had reached the end of their lifespan, and she was tired of all the scraping, caulking, painting and maintenance they required.

"Each spring we'd check the damage, then spend every weekend fixing it," says Strachan. "We couldn't let the weather get the best of us, or it could lead to rotting, molding and serious maintenance issues."

Attempting to resolve these challenges, Strachan replaced her living room picture window with a double pane, aluminum framed window, but was disappointed with the results. The caulk and molding yellowed, the window stuck in its track, and drafts blew the curtains even with the windows shut.

"The day after I bought it, it never looked or worked the same again," she laments.

A window technology called Bristol Windows, offered by Saltsburg, Pennsylvania-based Winchester Industries, caught her attention. The triple-paned window design with high-tech thermal spacers between each pane of glass was devised to minimize the temperature differences that cause energy-loss, window fogging and moisture condensation. Moreover, its unique vinyl clad frame combined the aesthetics of a durable, vinyl coating over a strong aluminum core. This not only prevents corrosion, but also resists losing shape.

Strachan had her vinyl replacement windows professionally installed, using a decorative, colonial style-grid pattern for an upstairs picture window overlooking an acre of backyard.

"The house looks 100 percent better, and I have a crystal clear view through my windows no matter what the weather," says Strachan. "There's no fogging or condensation, so I can see the reds, oranges, and yellows of fall leaves and even snowflakes. Since there's been no maintenance on the windows for two years, I've finally had the time to put in new landscaping."

The right maintenance-free, vinyl replacement windows function flawlessly, come with excellent warrantees, written energy savings pledges, and home security guarantees.

A complete selection of aesthetic, virtually maintenance-free, triple-paned, replacement windows by Winchester Industries are sold under the names of Bristol, Oxford, and Barricade. For best results, energy savings and comfort, these vinyl replacement windows must be professionally installed.
