We provide a wide selection of quality windows, including double slider tempered utility windows, double hung windows in white colonial lite with low-e & full screen, double slider basement low-e & screen windows, single hung windows in white 1-lite with low-e & half screen, and much more. At GrahamLumber.com, a reliable supplier of building materials, you can find a variety of vinyl window products:

• Double slider tempered utility window: The double slider tempered utility window is an excellent choice for utility spaces like garages, storage rooms, and workshops. It features two sashes that slide horizontally, offering easy operability and versatile ventilation. The window's durable vinyl frame ensures longevity and resistance to wear and tear. What sets this window apart is its tempered glass, which is specially treated to be stronger and more resistant to breakage than regular glass. This safety feature is crucial in spaces where accidents might occur, making it a reliable choice for areas with heavy equipment or tools.


• Double hung window white colonial lite with low-e & full screen: The double hung window white colonial lite is a classic and elegant option suitable for various rooms in a home. It features two vertically sliding sashes (both top and bottom open), allowing for easy cleaning and adjustable ventilation. The colonial lite grids add a touch of traditional charm and aesthetic appeal. One standout feature is its energy-efficient low-e glass, which reflects heat away from the interior during hot summers and traps warmth inside during colder months, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills. Additionally, the window comes with a full screen, providing abundant fresh air circulation while effectively keeping insects and debris outside.


• Double slider basement low-e & screen: The double slider basement low-e window is specifically designed to enhance basement spaces by providing both functionality and energy efficiency. Similar to the double slider utility window, this product has two sliding sashes for easy operation and ventilation. Crucially, its low-e glass reduces heat transfer, keeping the basement cooler during hot summers and preventing heat loss during colder months. The included screen ensures proper ventilation in a typically confined space while keeping pests and debris out.


• Single hung window white 1-lite with low-e & half screen: The single hung window white 1-lite is a versatile and space-saving option, ideal for various rooms such as bedrooms and living areas. It features a single operable sash (the bottom one) that slides vertically, allowing for easy control of ventilation. The window's minimalist design blends seamlessly with different architectural styles. One of its primary benefits is the energy-efficient low-e glass, which significantly reduces heat transfer and maintains a comfortable indoor temperature year-round. Additionally, the window includes a half screen, which enables fresh air circulation while keeping insects at bay.

When choosing a vinyl window, look for the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) label, which provides crucial performance data:

• U-Factor: This measures how well a window prevents heat from escaping your home. Lower U-Factor numbers mean better insulation and greater energy savings, especially important in colder climates like Kentucky. A typical energy-efficient window has a U-Factor between 0.25 and 0.35.
  
  
• Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): This measures how much solar radiation (heat) a window lets into the building. Lower SHGC numbers mean less heat gain and are critical for minimizing air conditioning costs during the summer.
  
  
• Low-E Coating: The low-emissivity (low-e) coating is a microscopically thin, virtually invisible layer applied to the glass. It reflects infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through. This is the primary driver of the window's energy efficiency.
  
  

Why Vinyl Windows Are The Popular Choice in North America - Vinyl windows have become increasingly popular among contractors and home builders in the United States due to their numerous benefits:

• Superior insulation: Vinyl frames, made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), are excellent insulators. They help reduce heating and cooling costs by minimizing heat transfer between the interior and exterior of the building.
  
  
• Advanced Glazing: Modern vinyl windows often use argon gas (or sometimes krypton) sealed between the glass panes. Argon is denser than air and provides an extra layer of insulation, significantly improving the U-Factor rating.
  
  
• Warm-Edge Spacers: The spacers separating the panes of glass are designed to be non-metallic to reduce heat transfer around the edge of the glass, preventing condensation buildup on the interior surface of the window.
  
  
• Low maintenance: Unlike wood windows that require regular painting and sealing, vinyl windows are virtually maintenance-free. They do not rot, warp, or corrode, making them ideal for various climates.
  
  
• Cost-effectiveness: Vinyl windows are generally more cost-effective than other window materials like wood or aluminum, making them an economical choice for budget-conscious homeowners and contractors.
  
  

New Construction vs. Replacement Windows - Choosing the right installation type is crucial for your project:

• New Construction (Full Frame) Windows: These windows come with a nailing flange attached directly to the frame. They are used when the house framing is exposed, typically in new builds or when replacing windows down to the rough opening. They offer the best seal and most robust installation.
  
  
• Replacement (Insert) Windows: These windows are designed to fit directly into the existing frame and trim of the old window after the old sashes have been removed. They are faster and less disruptive to install but rely on the integrity of the existing window frame.
