Why Are Energy Savings Features Important?

According to the US Department of Energy, poor window insulation accounts for more than $20 billion per year in energy costs. It is estimated that most homes can reduce their household energy costs by 15% annually by installing more energy-efficient windows.

Furthermore, according to the Energy Star® Windows program, LowE coated glass can reduce harmful UV rays by up to 75%, protecting you and your home’s interior.

PVC Trims vs. Wood Trims

Vinyl trims are easy to maintain, affordable and good insulators. The versatility of PVC allows Vinyltek to offer a variety of window sizes in both standard and custom sizes.

Although wood trims are durable and energy efficient, they require more care and maintenance. Custom sizes are also often more expensive.
