Why Are Vinyl Windows So Popular in San Diego?

You may have noticed through your research, or just by observing the homes around you, that vinyl windows (windows with vinyl frames) are extremely popular in San Diego homes. This is for many very good reasons.

At BM Windows, we have chosen to only offer vinyl windows at our replacement window company because of all the benefits that vinyl frames offer San Diego homeowners. In this blog post, we’ll explain why.

Vinyl Windows Give San Diego Homeowners the Most Bang for Their Buck

Vinyl windows provide homeowners with that sought-after combination of high performance, durability, and affordability. As a material, vinyl is a poor conductor of heat. In other words, it does not easily allow heat to transfer through it. When used as a frame material in windows, vinyl helps insulate a home from outside temperatures.

Now, you might have heard that fiberglass frames do an even better job than vinyl at insulating. This is true, but windows with fiberglass frames are considerably more expensive than windows with vinyl frames. However, they are only slightly better at insulating homes. In our opinion, the added cost of fiberglass windows doesn’t justify the almost imperceptible difference in performance over vinyl windows.

Vinyl Windows Require Virtually No Maintenance

Another great quality of vinyl window frames is that they require almost no maintenance. If you live in an area that gets dusty, you might want to wipe the frames down every once in a while, but other than that, you really don’t have to do anything to maintain them.

Don’t Just Choose Any Vinyl Windows for Your San Diego Home

The vinyl you will find in replacement windows is not all created equal. Some companies use cheap vinyl that becomes brittle and cracks and fades over time. In just a few short years of sun exposure, it can start to look weathered.

This is not the case with the vinyl used in Anlin replacement windows, which is the brand of windows we highly recommend at BM Windows.

The vinyl material that Anlin uses in their frames is infused with titanium dioxide, a chemical that serves to strengthen the vinyl and make it more durable and energy efficient. Anlin’s vinyl frames stand up well to heat, cold, moisture, salt air, or anything else Mother Nature may throw at them!

You can expect them to look great and perform well for decades. Anlin is so confident in the windows that they sell that they guarantee them for as long as you own your home. You can even transfer the warranty to the next owner of your home. This is one of the best warranties in the entire replacement window industry!
