Potomac-hp Windows Offer Top-Rate Strength, Durability & So Much More

At Vytex, we’re proud to manufacture a wide variety of top-quality vinyl replacement windows to meet every homeowner’s needs. Potomac-hp windows — our premier line of vinyl windows — offer a number of benefits to homeowners, including:

Remarkable Strength & Durability

Replacement windows need to be durable enough to stand up against the elements. A window’s strength is demonstrated by its performance grade, which takes into account a number of factors, including:

  • Structural performance
  • Water penetration resistance
  • Air infiltration resistance
  • And much more

While the threshold performance grade for residential windows is R15, Potomac-hp windows offer an extraordinary R65 grade. They’ve even been shown to withstand 198-mph winds, a force 200 percent stronger than the industry’s minimum requirement.

Outstanding Energy Efficiency

It’s also important to choose home windows that are energy-efficient since doing so can improve comfort levels, reduce the strain on an HVAC system, and possibly even lower a household’s energy bills. A window’s energy efficiency is often rated using an R-value, with a higher R-value indicating superior energy efficiency. Wooden window frames only offer a 4.4 R-value, while aluminum window frames have a shockingly low 0.35 R-value. Potomac-hp window frames, on the other hand, offer a 32.4 R-value, thanks to our innovative VyFoam™ insulation.

Impressive Ease of Use

Potomac-hp windows are also incredibly simple to operate, thanks to their state-of-the-art integrated sash lock and tilt system. This feature — a hallmark of the Potomac-hp series — allows homeowners to seamlessly operate the tilt latch and lock just by swinging a lever. Homeowners will also be glad to know that the integrated sash lock and tilt system provides greater resistance to forced entry.

For more information about Potomac-hp windows, or any of our other replacement windows, contact Vytex today. When you call, be sure to ask about customization options — we offer Potomac-hp windows in a wide variety of styles, including awning, bay, casement, double hung, garden, picture, and sliding. We’ll be glad to help you determine which option is right for your needs.

Had a contractor in NJ replace 17 windows using Vytex Windows in the spring. The windows are very strong and look high end. The new windows definitely helped with the drafts. Our old windows were original from 1987 and our home was freezing in the winter and hot as an oven in the summer. The new Vytex windows definitely got rid of the draft issue we had and the difference is very noticeable especially in the bedrooms. Next on our list is a new patio door from Vytex.

Very impressive facility and great customer service from Brooke Ratcliffe!

I am writing a nice review on my Vytex window experience. We are in new jersey and had all new windows installed about 10 months ago as well as a Vytex patio door. Our home was very drafty and made it very uncomfortable in the cold winter months and just as bad when it was hot in the summer. Our home is now much warmer and quite noticeable. The difference was equally noticeable this past summer when we had a heat wave; our home was much cooler...
