2. What are the advantages of vinyl windows over wood or aluminums?
Vinyl offers better energy efficiency which helps
maintain consistent temperatures inside your home. Vinyl frames have welded corners, which make it air tight and prevent elements
such as water and dust from leaking into your home. Vinyl offers the best protection against air and noise infiltration, which
means a more comfortable and peaceful living environment. Vinyl maintains its new look over time, eliminating fading and repainting
as well as being cost efficient.

windows?
Absolutely, Paradigm

8. What makes vinyl windows the best choice?
Your
choice of framing material goes a long way toward determining the longevity and energy of the total window system. Wood windows
possess excellent thermal qualities but are prone to weather deterioration and require painting at regular intervals. Aluminum
windows are very durable but offer little insulating value because they conduct energy rapidly. Vinyl windows are your best
choice because they offer thermal characteristics similar to wood are extremely durable and provide a finish that is virtually
maintenance-free. Keep in mind though, that the best performing vinyl window systems have multi-chambered frames with welded
corners.
9. What is argon gas and why is it used with Low E glass?
Argon is a safe colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-flammable insert gas. It is
used to reduce heat loss in sealed units by slowing down convection in the air space. Commonly it is used in place of air
between the glass panes of an insulated Low E glass unit. Argon's heat conductivity is lower than that of air. And thus it
is better insulator and contributes to a lower U-factor. Argon is not an effective solar performer by itself and so; it is
used on conjunction with Low E insulated glass. Argon gas is a relatively inexpensive option, and can easily recover its cost
in heat savings.
10. What is the best way to get an estimate for new windows and doors?
You need to have someone come to your
home, measure your openings, and show you samples before presenting you with an accurate, no obligation free estimate.
11.
What is the U-factor?
The U-factor or U-value is the measure of a window's thermal efficiency, based
on its resistance to the flow of energy. The lower the U-factor, the more thermally efficient the window.
