Viwinco's window frames are manufactured using SunShield® — a premium high-performance vinyl compound engineered for superior weather resistance, color retention, and durability. In Albany's climate, where windows face UV exposure in summer and freeze-thaw cycles in winter, SunShield® vinyl maintains its appearance and structural integrity far longer than standard vinyl compounds.
Viwinco's frame profiles feature multiple internal chambers that create air pockets throughout the frame cross-section. These chambers act as thermal breaks, significantly reducing heat conduction through the frame itself — one of the most underappreciated factors in window energy performance.
Viwinco windows feature fully fusion-welded sash and frame construction. Welded corners are structurally stronger and more airtight than mechanically fastened corners, and they resist moisture infiltration at the joint — a critical advantage in Albany's wet winters.
Viwinco windows are manufactured in the United States by a family-owned company. When you choose Viwinco, you're supporting domestic manufacturing and getting a product built to American quality standards.

For homeowners on a budget, the 250 Series still represents a significant upgrade over older or single-pane windows.
