Vinyl Windows
Why Choose Vinyl Windows for Your Home?
Vinyl windows are one of the most popular choices for homeowners across California, and for good reason. They deliver reliable insulation, stand up to everyday wear, and look great year after year. Plus, they don’t require extensive upkeep, unlike some other window frame materials.
Today’s high-quality vinyl is engineered to resist yellowing, powdering, and brittleness, which were common concerns with older or lower-grade vinyl products. When you choose vinyl window frames from a trusted supplier, you’re investing in windows that are built to perform and designed to last.
At American Window Company, we carry vinyl windows from top-quality, dependable brands, including AMSCO, Milgard, and JELD-WEN. Whether you’re replacing a single window or upgrading your entire home, our window experts are here to help you find the perfect fit.
Exceptional Energy Efficiency
One of the biggest advantages of vinyl windows is their superior energy efficiency. Unlike aluminum window frames, which conduct heat quickly, vinyl is a natural insulator. That means the sun may warm the exterior of the frame on a hot afternoon, but the interior stays cool to the touch.
This insulating quality helps keep your home more comfortable throughout the year. In the summer, your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain a pleasant temperature. In the winter, less heat escapes through the frames. The result is a noticeable reduction in your monthly energy bills and a more consistent indoor climate.
Many vinyl window options also include coatings designed to block harmful UV rays, which helps protect your carpeting, furniture, and fabrics from fading and sun damage. To learn more about how windows impact your home’s energy use, visit our Energy-Efficient Windows page.
Low Maintenance to Save You Time
If you’ve ever owned wood windows, you know how much maintenance they require, from regular inspections and sealing to sanding and repainting. Vinyl windows are different. They hold their color and finish without the need for painting, staining, or frequent upkeep.
To keep your vinyl windows looking their best, a simple cleaning once or twice a year is all it takes. Use a mild soap and a soft brush to wipe down the frames, then rinse thoroughly to avoid soap residue. While you’re at it, take a moment to clean the sash tracks and window screens. That’s it — no special treatments, no refinishing, no hassle.
Vinyl locking mechanisms are also designed for smooth, effortless operation. When you open and close your windows properly, the frames stay in excellent condition for years to come. Most instances of cracked or bowed vinyl frames result from improper handling rather than a flaw in the material itself.
