In North America, vinyl windows are the most popular type of window today. In the late 1940s, in order to meet wood shortages and high aluminum prices due to the Second World War, people in Germany started using vinyl windows. To meet the need for a new, low-cost material, vinyl was created out of the need for such windows and other construction components.

The rise in popularity of vinyl windows can be traced to their first introduction in the 1960s in the United States. They benefitted from a rapid rise in energy efficiency because of the energy crisis of the 1970s, and they have not slowed down since.

Prior to the development of the epoxy resin systems, vinyl windows were prone to cracking and discoloration. Soon after being exposed to the UV rays of the sun, vinyl were becoming brittle, discolored, and warped, requiring replacement far sooner than wooden windows that maintain their luster.

Okay, so what vinyl is?

Vinyl is a man-made material that is produced by polymerizing ethylene and chlorine. Polyvinyl chloride (or vinyl) is the final product of this mixture once it is processed. Vinyl is also very resistant to moisture, humidity, and decay because it is synthetic plastic-like material. In light of these factors, vinyl has emerged as a common building material. Not only is vinyl 100% recyclable, but also it's much easier to recycle than other materials.
