Not all vinyl windows and doors are the same
There are differences in the quality of vinyl from one manufacturer to another. This is because the vinyl frame is made from a special compound. It’s recipe of sorts that dictates its performance over time. Each additive to a company’s vinyl recipe helps determine the long-term characteristics of the final product. For example, the way it weathers and its impact resistance. For example, titanium dioxide makes the vinyl more heat resistant. At first glance, competing windows may look the same, but there can be key differences in the vinyl recipe. This is important.
