Premium Vinyl Windows Vs Cheap Replacement Windows: What You Need to Know

Why Your Choice of Window Matters

When replacing windows, Toronto and GTA homeowners face two clear options: premium vinyl windows or cheap replacement windows. While budget-friendly options may seem tempting upfront, the long-term costs, comfort, and energy performance often tell a different story. Encore Home Improvements, trusted across Toronto and the GTA, specializes in high-quality vinyl windows that deliver superior performance, durability, and value.

Frame Construction & Durability

Premium Vinyl Windows (Encore)

Thicker vinyl frames with multiple internal chambers for enhanced insulation and strength.
Welded frame construction for long-term stability and a tight, weather-resistant seal.
Built to withstand Toronto’s harsh winters and humid summers without warping or fading.

Cheap Replacement Windows

Thin, low-grade vinyl with fewer chambers, prone to bending, cracking, and early deterioration.
Often assembled with screws and caulk, leading to weaker joints and potential leaks.

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings

Premium (Energy Star® Rated)

Double or triple-pane glass, low-E coatings, and argon gas fills reduce heat transfer and drafts.
Lower heating and cooling bills for Toronto homes all year round.

Cheap Windows

Limited or no insulation technologies result in drafts and higher energy costs.
May not meet local building codes or Energy Star® standards.
