Your site says that your windows are virtually "maintenance free" . Is this true?
One of the beauties of vinyl frame window units is the relatively minimal amount of maintenance (interior and exterior) required to keep them looking beautiful.
Unlike other materials, our vinyl is guaranteed not to pit, peel, fade or flake. And, it never needs painting.
However, like any exterior surface exposed to the elements, your windows and doors will become dirty and require some cleaning.
This is where your decision to purchase vinyl products will pay off. Sometimes a heavy rain is all it takes to clean the surface of the vinyl.
