CLERA WINDOWS + DOORS · VINYL WINDOWS GUIDE

What Are Vinyl Windows?

Vinyl windows are windows with frames made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a durable plastic. They are among the most popular window types in Canada because of their affordability, low maintenance requirements, and strong energy-efficiency performance.

‍

Vinyl differs from other materials in several ways. It does not rot, warp, or require painting like wood frames do. And, unlike aluminum, it does not transfer heat or cold, making it a natural insulator. For Canadian homeowners, vinyl windows are a practical and cost-effective choice for dealing with extreme seasonal temperature swings.

‍

Most vinyl windows are available in a range of styles, including casement, double-hung, awning, bay, and picture windows, making them versatile enough for any home design.

Energy efficient: PVC is a natural thermal insulator that reduces heat transfer.
