As the first snow of winter ices, melts, and re-ices again over the past few days here in Northern Virginia, it's probably not a good time to realize your windows need to be replaced. It may, however, be a good time to start planning for next year's home upgrades, to include updgraded vinyl replacement windows, doors, perhaps some siding repairs or a new patio enclosure. As you consider options, perhaps it's useful to consider what vinyl actually is, and why it's such a great material for durable, long lasting replacement windows and doors. Following is an explanation of what vinyl really is, brought to you by Vinyl-Lite Northern Virginia windows and doors, makers of the very popular vinyl replacement windows, doors, siding and patio enclosures.
"Vinyl" is actually a chemical polymer (i.e. plastic) called more formally "polyvinyl chloride" or "PVC".

Wood, clay and concrete have all begun to be replaced by PVC in recent years. In its pure state, PVC is rigid and stiff.arlington replacement windowsburke replacement windowsfairfax replacement windowsnorthern virginia windowsvirginia replacement windows
