Benefits of Vinyl

Here are some of the reasons why Arcor chooses vinyl as its framing material for its windows. We think you'll agree that vinyl is the best choice, for both environmental and health reasons.

• Relatively little energy is used in the manufacture of vinyl products. In fact, production of all vinyl, world-wide, represents less than 0.3% of all oil and gas consumption!
• In the home, vinyl windows continue to be environmentally friendly. Their energy efficiency saves huge amounts of heating fuel; because they never need painting, stains, strippers and thinners are eliminated. And, since they last such a long time, replacement and the resulting construction debris are minimized.
• Both pre- and post-consumer vinyl are recyclable, and millions of pounds of pre-consumer vinyl are diverted from landfills and recycled every year. When the useful life of a vinyl product is finally ended - a long, long way down the road - it can be recycled into brand new products.
• Most important of all for the homeowner, vinyl window frames are inherently fire retardant. In a fire, they may soften, but they will resist burning.

These are just some of the reasons why the discerning homeowner chooses vinyl windows every time!
