3. 1. What is a vinyl window? A vinyl window (frame) is one which is fabricated
primarily from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Vinyl windows may employ other materials
for hardware and reinforcement, but the primary exposed material is PVC (vinyl).
2. What styles of vinyl windows are available? Vinyl windows can be custom-made
to fit any size or shape required by the architectural style, existing openings, or
personal taste.
3. How do vinyl windows compare in price with windows made of other
materials? Vinyl windows compare very favorably in price with quality windows
made of all materials.
4. How do vinyl windows compare with windows made of other materials
from an operating standpoint? Vinyl's self-lubricating properties enhance its ability
to slide. In addition, vinyl does not warp, twist, swell, or otherwise distort its shape,
so it remains easy to operate.

4. VINYL WINDOW FACTS
1. How do vinyl windows stand up to extreme temperature conditions?
Marvelously well. The chemistry of vinyl, plus the manufacturing process, assures that
vinyl windows will remain impervious to weather from the frigid Canadian border to
the tropical Florida coast. Heat loss through windows is reduced drastically due to
the natural insulating quality of vinyl, and the design of vinyl components with
insulating air spaces.
2. How do vinyl windows stand up to salt air, sea spray, and other corrosive
conditions? Vinyl is not affected by corrosive conditions, making vinyl windows the
choice of more and more people who live at the shore or near heavy industrial areas.
3. What glazing options are available with vinyl windows? Vinyl windows are
available with double-insulated glass, tempered, low E (emissivity), obscure, tinted,
grid pattern and argon gas-filled.
4. What other advantages do vinyl windows have over windows fabricated
from other materials? Vinyl windows do not swell and shrink when exposed to
extreme moisture conditions and operate smoothly in any weather. Vinyl has
intrinsically high insulating qualities when compared to other window materials. Vinyl
does not rust, pit, or corrode and clean easily with a damp cloth and detergent.

5. California law States
TITLE 24 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1993, REQUIRES THAT WINDOWS MUST NOW MEET AN
ENERGY EFFICIENCY RATING SPECIFIED AS A U-VALUE OF .75. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE THIS WITH SINGLE
PANE WINDOWS, CONSEQUENTLY DUAL PANE WINDOWS MUST BE USED.
1. GLASS THICKNESS: HOW THICK SHOULD THE GLASS BE?
Standard thickness required by the California Building Code is 1/16” - “Single Strength”. This is the
same glass found in picture frames which a lot of windows on the market use. We go a step further,
we use 1/8” -“Double Strength” glass over 3/16” for our windows.
2. AIR SPACE: HOW MUCH AIR SPACE IS MOST EFFICIENT?
An air gap of 1/4” allows heat to transfer easily, while 3/4” allows convection to occur. We
generally use 1/2”, which is determined by the D.O.E. through testing to be the most efficient
amount.
3. GLASS SPACER: METAL VS. NON-METAL
Since metal transfers energy at such a rapid rate, only a spacer that contains absolutely no metal is
the best for efficiency. Our non-metal Eco-Spacer outperforms all other spacers.
4. FRAME & SASH ASSEMBLY: MECHANICALLY FASTENED VS. FUSION WELDED
Mechanically fastened frames use screws to hold the corners together, which have a tendency to
loosen allowing seal failure and lose structural integrity. Fusion welded corners are stronger,
will flex with house settling, and do not contribute to seal failure.

Increased Home Value
Replacing your windows is one of the best ways to increase your home's
value. Because of benefits like improved energy efficiency, aesthetic appeal,
and added security, the right windows can increase a home's resale value
well beyond what you pay to have them custom-made and installed.

20. Why is uPVC better Than PVC?
PVC = PolyVinyl Chloride(uses plastics as hardening agents)
uPVC = Unplasticized (uses acrylics instead of plastics)
Purist un-plasticized petroleum resin compound used in the vinyl window industry
Guaranteed never to fade or turn yellow from ultra violet exposure
No regular PVC window manufacturer can make that guarantee
Including more titanium per pound than any other vinyl window in the market
Our windows are tested at extreme temperatures to ensure no deflection or blistering occurs

22. Traditional Spacers
Moisture from Spacers
Most glass spacers use aluminum which conducts energy at such a rapid rate that
it causes “sweating” in between the glass. Think of a Coke can. Put it in the sun for
2 hours, then in the fridge, what happens?

23. With Our Eco-Max Spacer You Say Goodbye to Condensation
Anlin’s Infinit-e Plus High Performance Glazing System is a big reason behind the superior energy saving ability of Anlin windows in moderate and
hot climates. The outside frame of the window may be what you see, but the “Insulated Glass Unit” that is mounted inside the frame is the real hero.
At the same time, the titanium dioxide reacts chemically
with the sun’s UV rays (even on cloudy days) to literally
decompose organic materials on the glass. That’s two
layers of solar activated easy-to-clean exterior coatings
No More
that leave you to enjoy the beautiful view with a lot less Condensation!
work.
Because our environmentally friendly spacers don’t use
metal, we don’t have the “sweating” problem like most
spacers; we guarantee it… For Life!
Exceeds Energy Star requirements by 45%

of custom building a window to fit your house.
