There is no need to paint your vinyl since it is maintenance-free and always looks like new.

If you want to change the colour of the vinyl, Epoxy-based paint is the only type of paint that will adhere properly to the smooth vinyl surface.

Vinyl windows, fence, deck and railing products from Expert Windows and Doors are designed to last a lifetime. They are backed by a transferable, lifetime warranty.

All of our Vinyl Products are made from extruded virgin polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other critical ingredients such as UV inhibitors (Ti02) and impact modifiers. The amount of these ingredients is what produces the longevity of a vinyl extrusion. The vinyl we use contains some of the highest amounts of these ingredients in the industry.

Due to changing temperatures, all materials expand and contract.

Impact modifiers add flex to our vinyl so that when the temperatures heat up or cool down, our vinyl will give instead of cracking or splintering. Under normal conditions, vinyl will not crack; however, vinyl is not indestructible and will break / crack if, for example, a projectile such as a rock or a hammer were to strike the surface hard enough.

No.

The discoloration or yellowing in vinyl products is due to the sun’s ultra-violet rays. This is typically found in vinyl products that are manufactured using injection molding (i.e. plastic patio chairs). Our products contain titanium dioxide (Ti02), which is applied to the outside of the product during the extruding production phase and acts as a sunscreen to stop vinyl from discoloration or turning yellow.

No, far from it.

There are many different types of sealed units, too many to address in a few lines.

The glass used in the manufacturing of the units is generally the same from all manufacturers. However, some manufacturers use 2 mm glass as their standard glass thickness.

Our units are made of 3 mm thickness and are up to 15 square feet. This increases the sound absorption and makes your home quieter. It also makes the unit more resilient to stress cracks and breakage.

There are different glass coatings to enhance the performance of the units, reduce or allow solar heat gain, and coloured glass for both cosmetic and performance.

The second component to a sealed unit is the spacer material. We use only warm edge spacer materials. This reduces the transmission of heat and cold through the edge of the glass. The greater the thermal resistance at the edge of the glass, the warmer the inside glass will be, and therefore less condensation will occur. There are some companies still using metal spacer bars without a thermal break.

Yes, the optimum airspace is about 13 mm.

Most units are anywhere from 6 mm to 25 mm. The farther you are from the optimum 13 mm in either direction, the less efficient they become.

Our sealed units are warranted as long as you own your home.

We have a separate brochure outlining the coverage.

Any moisture between the glass constitutes a seal failure.

This means that the seal has been somehow compromised. It could be a crack in the glass, de-lamination of the space from the glass, desiccant failure, poorly designed window systems that allow water to puddle under the unit, etc.
