Vinyl Replacement Windows

Vinyl Windows are a popular choice for window replacements across the DC, Virginia and Maryland area. (Replacement windows also come in variety of other materials such as wood, fiberglass, aluminum-clad wood, vinyl-clad wood, vinyl, or a composite of wood or plastic.)

Because it’s so inexpensive and easy to maintain vinyl is the most popular type of replacement window in residential and commercial properties. But its ability to trap hot air inside your home during winter and prevent cold air from escaping in summer is vinyl’s real advantage. Energy efficiency means you’ll be helping the environment while dramatically reducing your monthly utility bills!

On the other hand, there aren’t a wide variety of color choices available in vinyl windows and the surface is not paintable, so unless you find the tint you love and that matches your home’s exterior, you may want to consider some of the other types of replacement windows for your property.

Contact The Window Man today at to discuss which type of replacement window is right for you and your home. We'd be happy to evaluate the pros and cons of vinyl versus fiberglass for your needs as well as explain the benefits of each type of window we carry.
