Color Options

Most vinyl windows are available in a standard range of colors of six types for the interior that includes four vinyl wood grain options. Eight color options are available for the exterior.

If you are not happy with the standard color offerings and want some special color blend that creates a different hue, talk to the window manufacturer who should be able to match any color swatch to your entire satisfaction. You will be surprised how easy it is to create a color that is just perfect for your color scheme.

These are all high-performance colors with special finishes that last for years and retain the new looks of windows that appear as if installed only a few days ago. Indeed, cleanliness of windows is also a factor to maintain the new looks.

All colors are easy to clean with soap and water, fade resistant, and it’s surface adherence being strong can resist scrapes and scratches.

The Look of Real Wood

Vinyl windows have superior longevity and need very little maintenance while costing much less than wood, but you can create the wood-like looks to match original wood finish perfectly by choosing woodgrain interior.

Real wood is not only costly but also requires much more maintenance to enjoy its long life and retain the good looks, which add to the cost and makes it affordable only for the rich and affluent.

In comparison, Vinyl woodgrain interiors for windows are maintenance free and pocket-friendly, which will neither crack nor splinter like real wood and will not even rot due to exposure to the elements of weather.  To make the vinyl woodgrain window shine brightly from the inside, use custom interior wood trim in poplar, oak or cherry.

Some window options are available in prefinished wood interior, and vinyl exteriors that are maintenance free and the combination offers the beauty and warmth of real wood coupled with the weather resistant properties of vinyl.  Although it is costly than all vinyl windows, it is still quite affordable.

Choose Your Glass

The choice of glass for replacement windows depends on whether you would like the windows to perform in the same way as it was doing earlier or you want some modification in performance.

The extent of visibility and privacy you want to achieve determines the choice of glass. For those who prefer more privacy, the choice of shaded glass or obscure glass that is mostly translucent or even opaque depending on the level of privacy is a good choice.

The glass allows partial entry of light while maintaining the desired level of privacy. Those who want to be more creative in using glass to enhance the aesthetics of the home can choose custom etched glass that adds beauty and elegance to any window with unique etched patterns.

Energy Efficient Glass

How cool or warm your home depends on the choice of window glass that controls the rate of heat exchange between the indoor and outdoor. It also controls the amount of natural light that enters the home besides controlling the noise level inside homes.

By installing energy efficient glass on windows, you can control all these elements to make your home more energy efficient that lowers the energy use and utility bills, thereby saving cost.

Grids

To replicate the looks of a divided glass window at a lesser cost, the idea of using grids work very well. Providing internal grids strengthens the glass, and it is easy to clean as the grid remains sandwiched between the glass panes that provide a smooth glass surface.

Flat, as well as contoured internal grids,  are available and you can use any specific type of grid pattern. The internal grids in glass provide a cost-effective alternative to art glass and look beautiful.

Colonial, cottage, and prairie grid options are something that you can try out even though there is a huge range of other decorative options.

Window customization holds the key to enhancement of home aesthetics that display your style and taste.
