subject: Are Vinyl Windows Right For My Room Addition? [print this page] A room addition can be one of the best ways to maximize your existing space using a small amount of capital. The existing infrastructure of a home already exists, so adding on spaceeven on a narrow lotcan be as easy as adding a small wing for a spare bedroom or as complex as adding another story onto your home. The price differences between the extremes of home additions are suitable for nearly any budget or space, giving room additions one more step-up against the competition of building a new home from scratch or moving into another home that has more square footage. But no matter what room addition design you forgo, one thing is likely to be certain: Youll need to choose a window thats right for you and your new additions aesthetics, architectural features and price range.
Vinyl Windows 101
As an outdoor synthetic material, vinyl cant be beat for its strength, durability and beauty. Vinyl can be pressed into nearly any shape, such as wood grain, mimicking real wood perfectly. Conventional materials like steel or aluminum have trouble matching this effect at the same price that vinyl can. Vinyl never needs to be painted and retains its color and strength for decades, even in the harshest of weather conditions.
Because vinyl is such an easy material to manipulate, large architectural windows can retain the same energy saving features as their smaller counterparts with ease. Vinyl also offers superior heat resistance to conventional materials meaning that your home stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter without raking up the high costs of an overblown electric bill.
Matching your New Windows
One of the easiest ways a builder or homeowner can ruin a new room addition is by mismatching the new windows against the old ones. Without the right matching architectural features, new windows will look exactly like new windows and wont match the rest of the house, making them stick out like a sore thumb and lowering your homes curb appeal. Vinyl windows are easily altered to suit nearly any existing design, making them a perfect match for nearly any room addition. Whether you have wood, steel or aluminum windows on your home already, vinyl windows can be made to match textures, colors and the style of your existing windows so your new room addition fits with your existing home seamlessly.
