Alright, let’s break it down real easy for ya—Vernon vinyl windows, like the ones we carry at Windows & Doors Solutions Ltd., are mostly made from a tough, no-nonsense plastic called uPVC (that’s unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, but don’t sweat the fancy name). Basically, it’s built to last, doesn’t crack or warp in the heat or cold, and laughs in the face of rain, snow, and UV rays. Real workhorse stuff—perfect for our Canadian weather, eh?
Inside the frame, there are often these clever multi-chambered sections that trap air and keep your home cosy. Think of ‘em like little insulation pockets—great for keeping your heat in during a BC winter and your cool air in during those sunny summer days.
You also get some slick glass options with Vernon vinyl windows. Most come with Low-E coatings (which help reflect heat), and they’re filled with argon or krypton gas between the panes. Sounds high-tech, but really it just means your home stays comfy and your hydro bill stays lower. Win-win!
For the folks who care about safety and durability (which should be everyone, really), you can go with laminated or tempered glass for extra peace of mind. And all the little parts—like locks and handles—are usually corrosion-resistant, so they keep working as smoothly as butter for years.!
