Why Do You Recommend Vinyl Replacement Windows for San Diego Homes?
You may have noticed that we only sell vinyl replacement windows at BM Windows (as opposed to aluminum, wood, or fiberglass windows). We were very intentional when we decided to only sell vinyl windows at our company, and that’s because windows with vinyl frames have so many great qualities that San Diego homeowners love.
Vinyl: The Best Material for the Price
You could argue that there are other materials that are better than vinyl in certain aspects. Fiberglass is slightly more energy efficient, aluminum is a bit stronger, and wood has a more classic look, but almost nobody would argue against the idea that vinyl is the best material for the money.
While aluminum is strong, it is not very energy efficient. And while fiberglass is energy efficient, it is quite expensive. Wood is a classic material, but it requires a lot of maintenance and is also pricy. Vinyl, on the other hand, is a good all-around material. It is energy efficient, durable, low maintenance, and also affordable.
If price is a factor for you in replacing your windows, you should definitely consider vinyl windows. They look great in just about any style of home and are considered an upgrade over older aluminum windows that are found in so many homes in San Diego.
Not All Vinyl Is Created Equal
Now that you know all the great qualities of vinyl, you want to make sure you are purchasing replacement windows that use high-quality vinyl. Cheap vinyl will yellow and deteriorate over time. High-quality vinyl, on the other hand, will look great and perform well for many years to come.
At BM Windows, we only sell windows that use high-quality vinyl. All of our windows come with a lifetime guarantee, which tells you a lot about the confidence our manufacturers have in their products.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to tell the difference between cheap vinyl and high-quality vinyl with new windows. It all looks great before it’s subjected to the elements and the near-constant California sunshine. That’s why it’s important to work with a company like BM Windows that cares about quality and doesn’t even offer cheap windows to their customers. We would never sell windows that we couldn’t confidently recommend and that won’t serve our customers well for many years.
