What are the benefits of installing vinyl windows?

Number 1: Vinyl mainframes and sashes won’t chip, peel, crack or warp. 

Number 2: The multi-chambered sashes and mainframes create insulating air spaces for increased thermal efficiency.  Basically, your windows will provide less heat loss during the Winter.  The aluminum windows that are in most homes today do not bend and move with the outside of the house.  Consequently, small miniscule passages between the aluminum frame and the wood structure of the windows allow the cold air to seep into your home.




When it’s cold outside, traditional metal type window spacers can drain energy savings from your high performance windows.  Universal Windows created the Super Spacer to combat this dilemma.  The average homeowner probably doesn’t realize it, but a key factor to your window’s performance is the spacer system.  A spacer not only stabilizes the panes of glass, but also provides an insulating air space to prevent energy loss.  Many of the homes we live in today, yes, even in Waco, Texas, are constructed with highly conductive metal-based spacers, which can cause the window to lose up to 50% of its overall stated R-value (resistance to heat flow) at the edge of the glass.




Super Spacer’s non-metal design eliminates any metal-to-glass contact and provides a warm, non-conductive edge.  The ultra-efficient structural foam spacer helps increase the edge of the glass temperatures for a superior thermal barrier and year-round energy savings.  





Number 3: The triple pane insulated glass units with optimal air space improves year-round performance and helps to eliminate window condensation.


What is window condensation and why does it start near the edge of the glass?


The edge of the insulating glass unit is the most vulnerable to heating and cooling loss and changes in temperature, often due to traditional box-shaped metal spacers that can conduct heat and cold.  Conducted energy loss can lead to condensation problems at the window edge, such as damage to woodwork, paint or draperies. 


The Super Spacer non-metal design helps to keep moisture off the glass by providing a warm non-conductive edge.  The dual-sealing, structural foam spacer helps prevent condensation, reduces energy usage and creates a more balanced indoor climate.    In laymen terms, the Super Spacer provides outstanding resistance to condensation by eliminating metal-to-glass contact and conduction. 



With new vinyl windows installed from Universal Windows Direct, your family will benefit from:

1.  Lower fuel bills
