House Window Options in the Atlanta, GA Area: The Benefits of 100% Virgin Vinyl Windows

House window products made out of vinyl are all the rage in the Atlanta, GA area, and for good reason. Providing ample structural strength for one-, two-, and three-story houses, vinyl house windows also provide homeowners with the benefits of excellent energy efficiency, easy cleaning, very low maintenance, and long-lasting beauty.

But just like anything else, not every vinyl house window is made with the same level of quality and technology. What is commonly known as a vinyl window is actually made out of polyvinylchloride, or PVC. PVC is a molded plastic material that is used to cover the window frame to give it a thermal barrier, making it more energy efficient.

One main issue with PVC vinyl is that it can be pure or impure. This means that the house window frame can be constructed out of 100% “virgin” vinyl, or it may contain a blend of recycled plastic, glass scrap, and other impurities. These impurities can cause a vinyl replacement window to fail at a faster rate. This means it will warp, fade, peel, and otherwise disappoint you much sooner than you expected.

On the other hand, a window manufacturer that insists on 100 percent virgin vinyl is meticulous about the PVC blend used to make the window frame. Since there is no worry about impurities that may cause the window to fail over time, the 100 percent virgin vinyl house window is built to look and function like brand new for a lifetime or even longer, whether you use it in Atlanta, Marietta, Peachtree City, or Douglasville.
