Are there differences in how vinyl windows are made?
There
are two types of construction. Some vinyl windows are mechanically
fastened, or screwed and glued together at the corners. Others are
welded. Welded windows use a chemical or heat process to join the
corners. The result of this process produces a much stronger, longer
lasting bond. Every window we install uses state of the art equipment to
weld our corners.
Is all glass used in replacement windows the same?
No.
Special consideration should be given to glass options such as tempered
glass, Low-E glass, Argon gas, Krypton gas, and heat mirror. Each
option offers various levels of energy efficiency and safety.
