Why Are Vinyl Windows Better for Detroit Homeowners?

If you're a homeowner in Michigan, you're likely used to combatting condensation and ice buildup in the winter months, especially if you have old windows. 

Did you know that more than half of the homes in Detroit were built before 1950? That's a lifetime of frigid temperatures, high winds, and snowstorms impacting your windows, and consequently, your home's comfortability and energy bills.

As you consider window replacement in Oakland County, it's important to look closely at how Michigan's climate can impact the new window material. In this blog post, we'll discuss all the benefits of purchasing vinyl windows from Window Nation for your Detroit area home.

• Low Maintenance 

If your home currently has wood windows, you're likely used to oiling or polishing the wood every few years, plus sanding, repainting, or refinishing the wood every 7-10 years. Those labor-intensive chores are in addition to regular inspections of the wood, especially after particularly harsh winters. 

With vinyl windows, however, you can simply clean off dirt or fingerprints and be on your way - for 20-40 years! It's really that simple.

• Long-Term Durability

When you get replacement windows made from top-quality, new vinyl that are also installed by professionals who know how to work in Michigan's weather, you can expect peace of mind for decades.

Unlike wood windows, vinyl windows don't absorb moisture. You won't have to worry about warping, cracking, or rotting frames or sashes, because vinyl is designed with cold weather in mind.

• Improved Noise Reduction

Whether your home is in a busy neighborhood or you're sick of hearing the wind howling through your current windows, vinyl is the best option for noise reduction windows.

Most original windows in the Detroit area only have a single pane of glass, which contributes the drafts and outdoor noises making their way into your home. By investing in double- or triple-pane vinyl windows, coupled with quality installation and low-E glass, you can improve your home's soundproofing and relax when you want to. 

• Increased Energy Efficiency

Vinyl is also an incredible material for improving your energy savings and home comfort. Vinyl windows feature multi-chambered frames, insulated glass, and tight seals that keep the heat in your home, regardless of how cold it gets between November and March. 

• Overall Affordability

Compared to other window materials, vinyl is a more affordable option, whether you choose to add in customization options like a wood-look interior finish, or choose to replace all the windows in your home at once.

Plus, as mentioned earlier, vinyl windows require less long-term maintenance and typically lower your energy bills, which means you'll continue saving money years later.
