Understanding High-Performance Vinyl Windows
Vinyl, composed of ethylene and chlorine, is the second most prevalent plastic polymer globally, known as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This material forms the core of all vinyl window frames. However, not all vinyl windows are created equal. The quality heavily relies on the components included in the manufacturing formula.
Our vinyl windows incorporate more than just the basics. They feature specialized UV stabilizers that reflect harmful UV rays, preventing material degradation. Additionally, titanium dioxide is added to ensure the windows are heat-stable and perform excellently under various conditions.
Our Trusted Vinyl Window Providers
We leverage over three decades of experience in the window industry to select vinyl window manufacturers who offer the optimal combination of quality, affordability, and value. Our chosen manufacturing partners excel in four key areas: consistent quality and service, comprehensive warranty support, proven industry longevity, and continuous product innovation. Trust us to bring you the best in vinyl window solutions.

Fiberglass windows top the chart in durability and energy efficiency but come at a higher price. Vinyl windows, on the other hand, provide commendable performance at a more accessible price point, making them ideal for value-conscious homeowners.
The choice between these materials often comes down to aesthetic preference. However, for those looking to maximize value, vinyl windows are the most economical due to their lower material costs.
No matter the style you need, Lake Washington Windows and Doors has a vinyl replacement window that fits. We proudly offer options in all eight of the primary home window styles:
Fixed and non-opening, picture windows offer an unobstructed view of the outdoors, flooding your space with natural light. They enhance your home’s architectural aesthetic, serving as a striking design focal point.
These windows, hinged at the side and opening outward, provide excellent ventilation. Operated with a crank or lever, casement windows also feature a tight seal for superb insulation.
These feature a fixed top sash with a movable bottom sash that slides vertically, making single-hung windows a cost-effective and popular choice. They offer a traditional appearance and are simpler to install than more complex window styles.
Hinged at the top, awning windows open outward from the bottom to shield against rain while enhancing ventilation. Their unique design is perfect for adding airflow above doors or other windows.
Designed to save space, these windows feature one sash that slides horizontally over another. Ideal for areas with limited exterior space, such as walkways, patios, or along busy streets.
Projecting outward from the wall, bay and bow windows create a curved appearance that adds space, volume, and light to any room. They offer expansive views and serve as a dramatic centerpiece in large spaces such as living rooms, dining rooms, or master suites.
Customized to fit unique spaces and design schemes, our specialty shaped windows offer endless customization possibilities. These windows can be designed to fit virtually any dimension and shape, adding unique character and distinction to your home.

Do vinyl windows increase home value?
Absolutely. Due to the high performance and design options, vinyl windows generally increase most home values, especially those with older inefficient windows. Vinyl windows can decrease home value if a homeowner downgrades them from a higher-quality material like fiberglass or when installed in an older home where vinyl windows appear unattractive.
How do I decide between fiberglass or vinyl?
When comparing the performance of the two different materials, fiberglass is inarguably a “better” material than vinyl. However, when considering the price difference between the two materials, the argument about which material is “better” really boils down to your budget and personal preferences.
Is there any downside to vinyl windows?
If vinyl windows do have a downside, it would have to be the tendency for the vinyl materials to expand with changing temperatures. While not common, this expansion can lead to seals and joint failures over time. On the other hand, vinyl is much less likely to warp when compared to wooden windows, and they won’t dent like metal window materials.
Should I replace all my windows at once?
While replacing all your windows at once is unnecessary, doing so will only improve your home’s value and energy efficiency while lowering your utility bill and providing enhanced security. Additionally, we can offer a better price when ordering in quantity versus individual replacements.
What makes vinyl such an energy-efficient window material?
Vinyl is an energy-efficient window material because it is an excellent insulator manufactured to be impervious to weather, low-maintenance, and lightweight while still providing the insulation needed to reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer resulting in lower overall energy consumption.
