Hello:
I am building a new 3 family home. I will be residing in the 1st floor, and renting the top 2 floors. I am at the point where I must select my windows. First, I must decide between vinyl and aluminum. I am leaning towards vinyl for the following reasons: energy efficiency, aesthetics and cost. However, I realize that tenants will not care for the windows as much as I will, so I am concerned about the strength of vinyl windows. Everyone knows aluminum is stronger. Is this a valid concern, since vinyl windows have come a long way?
Thnak you. [/b]
