Are Vinyl Windows a Good Choice for Minneapolis Homes?

If you’re a Minneapolis homeowner considering replacing your windows this fall, you may be overwhelmed by the choices. We’d like to help you narrow down your options by starting with the first consideration:  window frame material.   We are THE replacement window company for the Twin Cities, and we’ve built our reputation on  helping homeowners find the perfect window solution for their budget, their tastes, and their homes.  With that goal in mind, we carry windows from several different manufacturers as well as window frames in wood, vinyl, fiberglass, and wood clad.

In this post we’d like to discuss one of the most economical window lines – quality vinyl windows.  We’re not talking about the inexpensive off-the-stack vinyl windows you might find at discount stores and big box retailers.  The vinyl windows we install are high quality, energy-efficient windows from ProVia.

Aren’t Minnesota Winters Hard on Vinyl Windows?

When we suggest vinyl windows to a prospective customer, one of the first questions we get is whether vinyl windows will hold up well in our climate, especially with our cold winters.  The myth that vinyl windows are not a good idea in cold climates is just that – a myth.  This opinion is based on low-quality windows, not the type manufactured by ProVia.

• ProVia vinyl windows have been engineered to resist chipping, cracking, and peeling from exposure to extreme heat or cold.  They won’t blister from hot weather or sun exposure either.  Many other vinyl window companies can’t make that claim.
• ProVia vinyl windows are energy-efficient and year after year have won awards from EnergyStar, your assurance of quality and performance.

So before you write off vinyl windows as not appropriate for Minneapolis winters, we’d love a chance to show you the ones we install.  We can even point you to Minneapolis homes where we’ve installed ProVia vinyl windows so you can see for yourself how well they hold up to our climate.

Oh, like Columbo used to say, “There’s just one more thing.”  We are a ProVia Platinum Dealer as well as a certified installer – your assurance that we’ll do the job right. Why not contact us today to find out more?
