Good Vinyl Window Replacement Dallas Characteristics
Vinyl window frames are made from polyvinyl chloride, commonly known as PVC, the same plastic used in plumbing and electrical pipes. Several chemicals, fillers, plasticizers and pigments comprise PVC, all of which are available in different grades of quality. Better vinyl window replacement costs more. One indicator of quality is color. If the vinyl has a bluish tint to it, chances are the vinyl window does not have sufficient quantities of titanium dioxide and organic tin. Some vinyl window manufacturers add a bluish tint to their vinyl window frames, which some people think is more aesthetically pleasing. The best indicator of quality vinyl window manufactures is certification from the American Architectural Manufacturers Association.
Vinyl Window Frame Construction
When shopping for vinyl window replacement, look at a cross section of the vinyl window frame. The vinyl window replacement frame has multiple chambers of different sizes. More chambers in the vinyl window frame means higher quality. Good-quality vinyl window frames and sashes have more chambers to avoid deformation due to vinyl melting from the sun’s heat. Welded vinyl window frames chemically reacts with the PVC to form a smooth vinyl seal. Look for additional features such as reinforced meeting rails and balanced systems that indicate higher-quality windows.
