Traits of the Best Vinyl Windows

While we firmly believe that vinyl windows are a good product, some brands are certainly better than others. In fact, the cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel vinyl windows are what give the whole product a bad name. When shopping for vinyl it’s important to be able to tell the best vinyl windows from these ultra-cheap imitators – that’s where we can help.

At Choice, we install and endorse OKNA windows, because we believe that they make a truly top-tier product. These are the traits that all of the best vinyl window brands (including OKNA) share:

Long lifespan: The main complaint we’ve heard about cheap vinyl windows is that they don’t last, needing replaced after only a few years of performance. No question, that’s a dealbreaker. The best vinyl windows all provide decades of reliable performance – without losing their look or air-tight seal. Discover the key signs your house has drafty windows.
Lifetime Warranty: Don’t just take a company’s word for it that their windows last – look at the warranty. A real, no-hassle lifetime warranty is one of the key traits to look for when shopping for vinyl windows. OKNA knows they build a top-quality product, so they back their windows with a lifetime warranty that is completely transferable. This warranty is the real deal, and it means you’re covered for life.
Proven Energy Efficiency : One of the main reasons that homeowners want to upgrade drafty, old windows is to cut their energy bills. All of the best vinyl window brands will save you on every energy bill – not just in the winter. When you’re shopping for new windows, see their energy-efficiency rating and ask your window expert to help estimate your savings.
Ample Style Options: While new windows may be a primarily practical home upgrade for most, there is a wide range of exciting style options available to you. OKNA makes vinyl windows with everything you can imagine, including double hung options, casement windows, and much more. Plus, there are also tons of cosmetic options like wood-laminate to give the impression of real wood frames, curved tops, colonial grids, and a wide range of color stain options! Check out the exciting style of black window frames!

Bottom line: when people ask, “Are vinyl windows good?” it entirely depends on the type of vinyl window they are talking about. Some ultra-cheap builder grade windows might not be worth it. However, the best vinyl window brands are 100% worth it – and they’re one of the best bargains in home improvement.

Excellent

Choice Windows, Doors & More, Inc.

Choice Remodeling was professional from start to finish. They were prompt, informative and did excellent work replacing the windows in our whole house. I would recommend them for any job!

Response from the owner:Thank you Molly for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your referral and are happy we were able to provide a positive experience for you!

The new storm door with roll up screen and the new sliding door for our deck look wonderful. The sales person, Tim Simmers, was great to work with and the men doing the installation work were terrific. I will be using Choice Home Remodeling for all my future projects!

Response from the owner:Thank you Daniel for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and look forward to partnering with you in the future!

I can't rave enough about my experience with Choice Home Remodeling! After a long search for a team that was not only professional and knowledgeable but also friendly and patient, I found exactly what I was looking for. Tim, Nate, and the entire crew did an outstanding job installing a new sliding door in place of an existing bay window on my block-style home. From start to finish, they answered all of my questions with confidence, kept me informed throughout the process, and completed the work with exceptional care and craftsmanship. Choice Home Remodeling earns my highest recommendation!

Response from the owner:Karen, thank you for your five star review and kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and we are happy to hear you felt the same way! Please let us know if there is any thing else we can partner with you on in the future.

Choice installed 18 new Okna windows in our home. I was very pleased with the job they did. The crew was organized and professional. They were meticulous with every detail of the installation, and thoroughly cleaned up. I would highly recommend them.

Response from the owner:Thank you David for the five star review. We are overjoyed to hear of your experience. We take great pride in our installers!
