ABOUT VINYL WINDOWS
Vinyl Windows are a practical alternative to wood windows. Although they do not give the building the same authentic character, they have the advantage that they are durable and do not require painting. Vinyl windows are available in a wide variety of designs, suitable for new construction and for replacement windows in existing properties. These include double-hung windows, casement windows, sliding windows, bay windows, and bow windows. Glazing options include clear, textured, obscured, tempered, and laminated glass.
The leading vinyl window manufacturers selected by Abacus Construction Index, which are listed below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of vinyl windows, including online catalogs, colours and materials for vinyl windows, and care and maintenance of vinyl windows.
