Why Replace Your Old Windows?
Due to increasing energy costs, many homeowners are concerned about their utility bills. We are also more conscious than ever before about the impact that our energy use has on our environment. One of the best ways to make homes more energy efficient is to replace old leaky windows with high efficiency vinyl replacement windows.
The technology used to produce vinyl windows has dramatically changed within in the last decade, and it is amazing how energy efficient a window made with today’s technology can be. Windows are typically the most significant factor when it comes to a home’s thermal performance. Many people would never think that just by replacing their old windows with high-quality windows, they could actually save anywhere between 30 – 40% of their heating and cooling bills!
Research shows that the best type of windows on the market today are vinyl windows. Compared to wood windows, vinyl replacement windows are virtually maintenance-free; they never need painting or staining, and they never rot or decay like wood windows often do. Also, the insulation values are much higher in urethane-insulated vinyl windows than wood windows.

Superior Insulation
Better than aluminum. Better than wood. Better than hollow vinyl. Our windows are constructed from energy efficient PVC with polyurethane foam-filled extrusions that provide higher R-values than other PVC windows for truly effective insulation. Only environmentally friendly polyurethane foams are used—the exact same insulation as in your refrigerator door.
Insulated Glass
Investing in brand-new replacement windows means reduced costs on heating and cooling your home. And the better the insulating R-value of the insulated glass, the more money you can expect to save. Windows from Swimme & Son insulate better than hard and soft coat Low-E glass, double-layered, or even triple-paned products. By reflecting the heat your furnace produces back into your home, you save money on heating costs. And in the summer, the sun’s rays are reflected back to the outside, so your house remains cooler.
Strong & Airtight
Unlike mechanically fastened corners on typical windows, all of our replacement windows feature fusion-welded frames and sashes that last longer and perform better. Fusion welding creates an impenetrable barrier that eliminates air and water infiltration and provides added strength where it is needed most.
Reduced Air Infiltration
To guard against cold air and harsh winds from entering your home between the sashes and mainframe, all windows from Swimme & Son feature a triple weather-strip barrier that provides 50% more protection against winter’s worst weather. Everyone will claim that their replacement windows are airtight, but we go one step further by showing you results. Our windows have been tested in independent labs that measure air infiltration rates. For a free copy of our test results and assurance that your new windows are an airtight investment, simply contact us.
ENERGY STAR® Qualified in All 50 States
Our windows are rated and certified to energy performance standards of the National Fenestration Ratings Council (NFRC). In fact, our replacement windows qualify in all three climate regions of the US Department of Energy’s ENERGY STAR® Windows Program.
Easy to Clean
Tilt-in construction on double- and single-hung windows allow you to keep your windows sparkling clean easily, as all surfaces will be accessible from inside the home. Sashes can also be quickly removed and replaced for quick and safe egress. Muntin bars (also called grids or grilles) are sealed between the panes of glass to eliminate time-consuming cleaning.
We even offer a sliding window that tilts-in to the home for easy cleaning. Choose from either lift-out or in-swing sashes.
