 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott DeWitt is the absolute 100% reason for my review being 5 stars instead of 3. He was a great installer, timely, respectful, genuine, and did the job right. Everything else unrelated to his work wasn’t all that impressive. Thanks Scott for the top tier work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We discovered this company while visiting relatives in Ohio. Since our initial contact to replace two sets of French Doors, the entire process has been exceptional, simple, and the products are of the highest quality (while not the priciest in the market!) No hesitation to recommend this company to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Keith came out to review and quote our project. He was timely and informative. Then Thomas came out to install the windows - he was early (AWESOME), polite, completed the task quickly, and cleaned up after himself. We are happy with our windows too - they look great. We'll definitely work with this team again on our future window projects.

Many vinyl replacement windows are an ideal option for your home due to their low-maintenance and energy-efficient properties. The fact is, vinyl windows owe their durability to their prime component, which is polyvinyl chloride or PVC.

WMGB Home Improvement, a leading provider of vinyl replacement windows, discusses some interesting facts about polyvinyl chloride.

What is Polyvinyl Chloride?

PVC is a synthetic resin made from the polymerization of vinyl chloride. It’s made by subjecting vinyl chloride to highly reactive compounds. It’s mostly used in a wide range of domestic and industrial products, from raincoats to window frames. It’s a lightweight rigid plastic manufactured in a flexible “plasticized” form.

What is Vinyl Chloride?

Vinyl chloride, the main component of the vinyl frames in our replacement windows, is a result of a reaction between ethylene, oxygen, and hydrogen chloride over a copper catalyst. Also referred to as chloroethylene, it’s handled under special protective procedures due to its hazardous nature.

History of Polyvinyl Chloride

PVC was primarily prepared by German chemist August Wilhelm von Hofmann in 1872. It wasn’t patented until 1912, when German chemist Friedrich Heinrich August Klatte used daylight to polymerize vinyl chloride. While its extreme rigidity kept it from being commercialized, Waldo Lunsbury Semon was able to develop plasticized PVC. This discovery allowed the material to be fully commercialized.
