Choosing Vinyl
When it comes to windows and doors, vinyl is an all-around excellent choice. Unlike wood, vinyl windows and doors will never rot or require endless repainting. And unlike aluminum, vinyl windows and doors will never pit or flake. In fact, an occasional washing will keep them looking like new for years. Plus, they offer increased comfort and lower utility bills, provide headache-free operation and add value to your home. You can’t get much better than that.
Increased Comfort Vinyl windows and doors offer excellent thermal performance for year-round comfort and to help lower utility bills.
Easy Operation Our windows and doors open and close easily for maximum performance with minimum effort.
Weatherability The premium vinyl in windows and doors can stand up to extreme weather conditions year after year.
Energy Efficiency Vinyl is an effective insulator. Our vinyl profiles are specially designed to work with advanced glass packages for optimum energy efficiency.
Low Maintenance The color of the vinyl is integrated throughout, so frames and sash will never require painting, and they resist pollution, salt spray and dirt.
Value Not only do Simonton windows and doors help to lower home utility bills, they also add value to your home.
Testing shows that vinyl window and doors are comparable to wood products in thermal efficiency.
Glass Options
When it comes to saving energy and keeping your home more comfortable, you need the right glass package to get the job done. Simonton Windows® combines the most effective features and the most advanced designs to achieve truly impressive year-round thermal performance.
Standard Glass Package The standard glass package on most windows comprises ProSolar™ soft coat Low E glass, an Argon gas fill, the Intercept® spacer system and a deep-set insulating glass unit.
 In summer months, Low E glass keeps cool air inside while keeping hot air outside. In winter, Low E glass keeps warm air in and cold air out. Low E glass also blocks 84% of UV rays which can fade carpets, draperies and artwork. |
1” I.G. and Super Spacer® This upgrade combines double-strength ProSolar™ soft coat Low E glass, an Argon gas fill, the Super Spacer® solid silicone foam spacer and a 1” insulating glass unit.
Krypton Gas Fill Available on select series, this optional upgrade increases efficiency by replacing air in the insulating glass unit with Krypton gas. Nearly 12 times the density of air, Krypton gas provides superior insulation.
Laminated Glass For the ultimate in efficiency and security, choose laminated glass. This remarkable glass blocks over 99% of the sun’s most damaging UV rays. For added safety, the laminated glass will not fall out inside the home if the window is struck with force and also helps reduce noise transmission.
