Question from Bill

I’m looking to buy windows. I have looked at Andersons wood interior with vinyl clad exteriors. As long as the vinyl is on the outside and I seal the wood on the inside, should I be safe as a MCS person? I have read the entrees on windows and the problem with the exterior vinyl clad was not explained.

Debra’s Answer

It’s up to you to decide if you are safe from vinyl on the outside of your house. Yes, it is outside, but I have personal experience of fumes coming inside my house from materials used outside, so I make a point of exterior materials being as safe as interior materials.
