 VINYL IS NOW THE MATERIAL OF CHOICE FOR MANY OTHER BUILDING PRODUCTS, SUCH AS SIDING, WINDOWS, AND PVC PIPE. MOST IMPORTANT, A VINYL SUNROOM LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MEANT TO BE PART OF YOUR HOME, NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT.
Oasis® vinyl sunrooms
feature solid virgin vinyl (PVC) as the main visible component.
Solid virgin vinyl has many advantages over aluminum. Vinyl is clear
color throughout, a non-conductor of electricity that will not rot,
chip or corrode. Oasis®
vinyl glass rooms incorporate fusion welded vinyl windows (sash and
mainframe) in the unique vinyl wall system. Aluminum windows are typically fastened together, while Oasis® vinyl windows utilize welded corners eliminating the opportunity for the elements to enter inside the patio room. Vinyl, naturally an insulator, allows homeowners to extend their patio room’s season because vinyl has much less heat loss than other building materials.
