What is the difference between vinyl soffit and aluminum soffit? |

Vinyl soffit is two to three times thicker than aluminum soffit. Since the product is coloured throughout scratches will not show, it is highly impact resistant, and is available in numerous styles and colours. |

Are the fascias and eavestroughs made of vinyl? |

No the fascia is aluminum, and eavestroughs are 5"aluminum with large pipes and installed with brackets rather than spikes.( this is done for strength and appearance, since the brackets are not visible). |

What is the difference between an insert window installation and a brick to brick installation? Which type of installation is better? |
| |
Insert windows are installed by removing the existing window panels. The frame and the inside trim remains. The new window is installed to the existing frame. The outside frame is covered in aluminum, the inside frame is spray foamed between the new window and the existing frame. The inside window is then caulked or a small moulding may be installed to close of any larger gaps.
Brick to brick installation is generally used if the existing window frame has rotted. In this case the whole window and frame are removed, as well as the inside trim. This type of installation is more costly because of the finish work required after the new windows are installed. |
