What Upkeep is Required for Vinyl Windows?

Spring time in the Minneapolis area often means exterior home maintenance chores.  As you’re working outside your home, if you have vinyl windows, you might wonder  what you should be doing to your windows to keep them working well.  The answer to that question is, nothing. Not even one thing is needed to be done, other than routine cleaning. This gives vinyl windows a huge advantage over wood windows. Upkeep and maintenance for vinyl windows will not use any of your money or time. There will never be a need for painting, staining or any re-caulking with vinyl windows.

With the homes of today, the best choice for windows is vinyl. Here at Window Outfitters in Minnesota, we offer a variety of windows that are manufactured for precision, with equipment that it the highest in the industry. You can choose stock windows or windows that will be custom made with specifications you give. With this in mind, you can be ensured they will fit perfectly every time. We offer an extensive range of sizes, styles, and colors for you to choose from. With your budget and style in mind, we are sure to find a window perfect for you.  And we don’t just offer windows from one company – we’ve got vinyl windows from several manufacturers, including Lindsay and Unlimited.

We are not disrespecting wood windows. Their timeless beauty is much appreciated by us, but they need ongoing maintenance that is required so they continue to perform and look their best. Stain or paint needs reapplying regularly to ensure the wood does not rot. In addition, the window frame and wood needs to be kept protected by fixing any scratches, holes, or damage that may happen to them. Water can penetrate the window frames that are wood, causing them to move and warp. Gaps will happen between the opening of the wall and window. Gaps will allow for air movement between outside and inside your home. This is definitely not something good, and for that reason wood windows need to be re-caulked regularly. For wood windows to perform and live up to maximum capabilities, maintenance needs to be done on a regular basis. Wood windows do have appeal and a look that is classical, but work is needed to maintain it.

If you have been searching for replacement windows that are stylish without needing much care, vinyl windows are your answer. No need for worrying how they will do in our Twin Cities weather either.  You won’t need to spend money or time to keep the windows looking at their best.
