High-efficiency uPVC windows from REHAU are nothing like the vinyl you might remember

If you’re building a new single-family home with Inspiration Homes, remodeling, or simply replacing your old windows to improve energy efficiency or appeal, you might be among those that still think of vinyl windows as, well … okay we’ll say it … cheap! Understandable, because many early wannabes tried to undersell aluminum windows with vinyl clones that were flimsy, leaked air and water, were difficult to open and close, and came in one exciting color – white!

For you as an Inspiration Homes customer, it’s a new era with uPVC windows and doors from REHAU. Pioneered in energy-stingy Europe and then introduced to America 40 years ago, REHAU window and door systems are setting world-class standards in EFFICIENCY, DESIGN, COMFORT, OPERATIONAL EASE, SECURITY, and PASSIVE HOUSE innovation.

American ingenuity + German engineering = excellence in performance and style -
The combination of 60 years of European design excellence with 40 years of American market ingenuity

REHAU became one of the first companies to introduce welded vinyl window systems to North America in 1976, already has become a household name for value engineering throughout Europe. And while many early vinyl window builders sacrificed quality for price in the American market, REHAU never compromised and never stopped pushing design and engineering boundaries.

Style

Customizable vinyl window solutions are finally here in multiple colors and woodgrain finishes

Quick now, what color do you see when you think of vinyl windows and doors? If we’re talking most of the vinyl crowd, probably white. But if we’re talking REHAU, envision a rainbow of solid and textured colors, from redwood, forest green or royal blue on one end of the spectrum to wrought iron or brushed bronze on the other. Imagine interior finishes that look like real Irish oak, mahogany, or soft cherry.

Now picture these options in countless shapes, including round, half-round, triangular, rake top, and elliptical. All of these variations are available in every conceivable window configuration, from single and double-hung, to casement, slider, and our revolutionary tilt-turn windows. In fact – there are 1,500+ design options available when you choose REHAU windows and doors!

Now you can have it all, style and performance

By combining technology with innovation, REHAU has dashed the tired cliché of white, uninspired vinyl windows. Now you can have it all – the industry-leading energy efficiency and durability of REHAU uPVC vinyl windows and doors with a full range of design options. What more could you ask for?

RENOLIT EXOFOL

Space age foil surfacing that is weather, heat, and moisture resistant.

RENOLIT EXOFOL is the next generation of high-performance foil for windows and doors. Applied to our window and door profiles after extrusion, these scratch-resistant and richly textured foil laminates come in a rainbow of solid and textured colors and natural woodgrain designs. But wait, there’s more good news.

After extensive testing against other color options like paint or lesser PVC foils, RENOLIT EXOFOL shows 150 percent improved weather resistance for longer color retention. The advanced pigment technology reflects away harmful UV rays and slows heat buildup, extending the life of our windows and doors. These laminates also resist moisture absorption better than PVC films by 45 percent.

Hence, RENOLIT EXOFOL acts like a coat of armor for our REHAU windows and doors, protecting against chalking, cracking, and fading when compared to paint. So, no more scraping, priming, or touchup: These windows will look like new again with just a little water, dish soap, and a clean cloth. And we put our money where our mouth is with a 10-year warranty for BOTH exterior and interior applications of RENOLIT EXOFOL.

Exceeds all NAFS structural criteria

REHAU window and door designs – from tilt-­turn, casement, and hung/slider windows to French and sliding doors – undergo rigorous testing to meet or exceed air, water, and structural benchmarks set by the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS). Excellence here means a highly durable barrier between indoor spaces and the exterior environment, including infiltration – keeping air and moisture out – and exfiltration – keeping warm or cooled air in. Thicker and engineered uPVC walls also make the product sturdier and thus NAFS-rated for commercial applications as well as residential ones.

Thermal performance drives energy efficiency

REHAU windows and doors achieve industry-leading energy efficiency by combining proprietary uPVC formulation and extrusion, low-­e glazing capabilities, and compression-seal technologies. Fully compliant with all applicable energy codes and ENERGY STAR® ratings.

Perceived noise reduction of 90 to 95 percent

Honking horns, blaring sirens, roaring jets, or even a neighbor’s lawn mower – typical urban din, in other words – can seriously compromise the quality of life. REHAU windows and doors help wall out these common annoyances by achieving top ratings in sound abatement. Very few vinyl windows on the market today can match this standard.

Hurricane rated for impact and air pressure

Add “hurricane rated” to our long list of certifications in coastal regions where windows and doors are required to withstand hurricane impacts and high wind pressure.
