Vinyl Sash Bow Window

In addition to the beauty of today’s outstanding vinyl siding choices, choosing vinyl siding will not only give your home a consistently attractive appearance, but vinyl siding will actually improve your home insulation to keep you warmer in the winter months and cooler in the summer. Vinyl siding offers outstanding resistance to extreme weather and will protect your home from moisture, air pollution, excessive heat, and freezing cold. In addition to cutting your heating and cooling expenses, vinyl siding is cost effective in other areas as well. If you are even a novice when it comes to choosing vinyl siding over aluminum or wood, you know that it lasts longer and the upkeep is far easier. Vinyl siding, of course, never needs to be painted, so you, the homeowner, are actually “investing in a future” that will include lower labor and maintenance costs! Vinyl siding will never rot, dent, or chip, as is usually the case even with the best wood siding available. To put it another way, vinyl siding gives you more by creating less. In fact, all that is needed to keep vinyl siding looking new is an occasional spray with water and a cleaner! And, because vinyl siding does not chip or peel because the color is “all the way through” the siding, even colored vinyl siding looks new and is as close to maintenance-free as it can get!

If you’re ready for a cost effective, maintenance-free siding for your home, benefits that will start from the day it’s installed and last a lifetime, come in and see us at Vinyl Sash. We’ve got the future you want today!

Sometimes it’s helpful for you to consider your family’s individual needs in order to decide if you want your patio to feel like “Florida,” i.e., do you want a Florida room, for only three out of the four seasons, or throughout the entire year? The following facts will help you to know what to look for when making your decision:

Insulated Patio Rooms

• A well-built insulated sun room or patio room is meant to last a lifetime.
• An insulated wall system built with the Midwest in mind should be constructed to withstand the kind of wind and snow loads like the kind we get here in Michigan.
• Check to see if 3″ and 6″ Insulated Composite Roof Systems are available.
• Good construction should include Energy Star windows and doors that assure the warmest patio room available.
• Look for Low-E / Super Spacer warm edge glass, 3/4″ double strength glass for improved thermal insulation, and tempered glass that comes with a lifetime guarantee against breakage.
• Your patio door should be vinyl insulated, have fusion welded sash and mainframe and a stainless steel adjustable roller system.
• You’ll want an A-Frame roof system that is supported by 3″ x 12″ lambeam for added support.
• Make sure that your insulated sun room has THERMALLY IMPROVED CHANNELS for added comfort.

Non-Insulated Patio Rooms

With weather being fickle and downright unpredictable, with the exception of just a few added insulation features such as Energy Star windows and  doors, Low-E / Super Space warm edge glass, vinyl insulated doors, and thermally improved channels for added comfort, your non-insulated patio room should have most of the features listed above in order for your family to stay comfortable for as many months out of the year as possible.

One Final Note

Whether you decide on having an  insulated or non-insulated patio room, make sure that the company you choose to build and install your  sun room has factory-trained employees and doesn’t contract out. Vinyl Sash meets both of those requirements and then some! And, make sure that your builder and installer will process all building permits for you, like we do at Vinyl Sash, to make sure that your new patio room will not only be enjoyable, but will pass code!
