Vinyl windows and home improvement
Vinyl windows are one of the most affordable home improvement projects you can do as a home owner. New vinyl windows have many benefits, among them being increased energy efficiency and an increased curb appeal. Vinyl windows are available in a large variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. Vinyl lends itself to many types of customization to meet your particular window requirements. Vinyl windows only need little or no maintenance, which makes them ideal for a wide variety of climates and weather conditions.
Energy efficiency and vinyl windows
The choice of glass in a quality vinyl window plays a large role in how energy efficient the window will be. Options such as insulating glass, tint or Low-E coatings, UV coatings, all add to the energy efficiency of new vinyl windows. Typical single pane windows with aluminum frames loose roughly 90 - 95% of the heat in your home. In the summer, that is cool air which escapes through the windows due to poor performance. A quality dual pane window by American Vision Windows can cut that energy loss down to 40% and sometimes greater. The installation of triple pane windows can drop the energy loss to as little as 10 - 15%.
Vinyl windows and the security of your home
Security is a major concern for families and the windows are very vulnerable locations in any home. Most new vinyl windows offered by American Vision Windows offer features such as Cam Lock and Continuous Interlock for secure closer and tamper proof safety. Additionally, vinyl windows offered by American Vision Windows are exterior glazed so they cannot be cut from the outside. All of our projects are California Forced Entry Certified. This recognizes that the vinyl windows offered have sustained the toughest forced-entry tests in the industry.
Continuous Interlock: Non-notched interlocking rails prevent tampering access to window locks by intruders. It also superior protection against wind, water, and sound.
Exterior Glaze: Provides extra security because the insulated glass-to-frame seal cannot be cut from outside the home.
Metal Reinforced: Window and door locking rails are reinforced with metal for added strength and security. This measure also helps prevent bowing and bending in the window frame.
Cam Lock: This type of lock reaches out to pull sash tight against the center bar to help block out wind, water, and sound. The design, along with continuous interlock provides strong, tamper proof security.
