Why Does It Matter for Windows?
Transcripts
Speaker: “So all of our extrusions here at Gator are going to be manufactured with virgin PVC, virgin uPVC. So, it all comes in from powder. None of it’s going to be reformulated.”
Speaker: “There’s no regrind that exists in our product. Everything is going to be from virgin PVC powder and it’s going to be formulated and extruded to our specifications, making sure that we are the only person able to offer this product in the Eastern United States.”
5 Advantages of Virgin PVC Windows
- Durability and strength: Lacking the impurities found in regrind PVC, virgin PVC vinyl windows are less brittle and thus more resistant to cracks or bowing over time.
- Long-term aesthetics: Virgin PVC is resistant to developing that white chalky appearance when in direct sunlight as well as resistant to yellowing and fading.
- Low maintenance: Virgin PVC vinyl windows never need to be painted, stained, or refinished!
- Energy efficient: They help to main a stable environment indoors, consistent temperatures, and reduce energy costs.
- Structural integrity: Virgin vinyl creates a reliable frame in its consistent, high-quality manufacturing.
What is Regrind Vinyl?
Regrind vinyl, or recycled vinyl, is a mixture of new vinyl and leftover materials from the manufacturing process that have been melted down and shredded. While this material is cheaper and is sometimes used to increase stiffness in products it can lead to faster discoloration and degradation.
