You can opt to replace them with high-quality vinyl windows that come with fusion-welded sash and frames. These windows require little maintenance since they are made more resistant to warping, peeling, and pitting with their high-quality extruded vinyl. There are many reasons to use vinyl for your windows. One is due to the fact that it needs minimal maintenance since it does not require staining, painting, or refinishing. If you have the frames and sashes fully welded in, it can also add more durability and strength to your windows. Vinyl is a low-cost, long-lasting, energy-efficient material with a low environmental impact. The material can also be recycled to make other vinyl goods, such as more windows or doors. You will also get to enjoy reduced energy expenses with vinyl as it helps keep the heat out during summer, and in the winter, it can keep the heat inside. Since you'll be needing less air conditioning and heating, it'll result in lower energy costs. Watch this video where you'll discover things you should know when getting a replacement window.
