Replacement Windows

Why Choose Plastic Replacement Windows?

There are several compelling reasons to make plastic your first choice for replacement windows, but the foremost among them is sheer durability. The plastic window panels we supply are of the highest quality, giving you many years of service without the safety concerns of traditional glass. You can choose from clear or even patterned designs depending on your preferences, meaning that your aesthetic sensibilities need not be sacrificed.

Key Benefits of Plastic Windows

Unmatched Durability

Plastic panels are incredibly robust and long-lasting. Acrylic window panels are up to 17 times stronger than glass panels, while polycarbonate windows are 250 times stronger than ordinary glass. Polycarbonate is considered an excellent choice for those living in areas prone to hurricanes and strong storms due to its ability to withstand impact.

Enhanced Safety and Security

When glass breaks, it shatters into potentially dangerous shards, posing a safety risk especially where children might be involved. Polycarbonate window panels do not shatter and are extremely difficult to break through, meaning accidents and break-ins will be rare. Most burglaries are opportunistic - if it takes too long to break a window, many perpetrators will give up and try elsewhere.

Superior Clarity and Light Transmission

It might surprise you to learn that certain plastics offer greater transparency than glass itself. A clear plexiglass window panel is capable of transmitting light at 90% fidelity. Plastics will not start to get discolored as their thickness increases, unlike glass, and they will not give off a reflective glare in sunlight.

Material Options for Replacement Windows

Plexiglass/Acrylic Windows

Plexiglass window panels are especially suitable for creative or unusual designs because they comprise flexible polymers that are easily molded, cut, moved, and installed. They offer excellent optical clarity and are ideal for most residential and commercial applications where extreme impact resistance isn't required.

Polycarbonate Windows

Polycarbonate window panels are the premium choice for clients whose circumstances might not be adequately served using plexiglass solutions. Extreme climatic conditions or exceptionally heavy usage are the two major factors influencing this decision. These windows are up to 30 times stronger than acrylic types while being much lighter than glass, making them perfect for applications with limited structural support.
