WINDOWS AND DOORS THAT WORK SUPERBLY
Sticking. Sweating. Screeching. Fogging. Rotting. These are just some of the problems that affect older windows. New Milgard replacement windows and doors won't be a problem now or even years from now. They open when you want them to open. They lock when you want them to lock. They slide easily. They don't need painting. They keep drafts out. And they do it forever, guaranteed.
THE DIFFERENCE MILGARD CAN MAKE
Here are some common problems and how Milgard replacement windows and doors solve them.
PROBLEM
Poorly or Nonoperating Windows
This includes windows that are painted or swelled shut, sticking frames, broken counterweights or cranks and rotted frames or casings.
SOLUTION
New Milgard Windows
A new Milgard window will make short work of taking care of all of these problems.
PROBLEM
Sun Damage
Over time the sun can cause window frames to deteriorate and change colors. Lower quality vinyl just doesn't hold up under intense sunlight.
SOLUTION
New Milgard Windows
All Milgard windows are engineered to resist the damaging effects of the sun, regardless of the frame type you choose, guaranteed.
PROBLEM
Problem: Excessive Heat Gain or Loss
Caused by old, drafty windows or noninsulated and single-pane clear glass.
SOLUTION
Solution: Milgard SunCoat® Low-E Insulating Glass
SunCoat® Low-E Insulating glass retains more heat in winter and helps keep the sun's heat out in summer, reducing energy bills.
PROBLEM
Excessive Noise
Caused by older, single-pane windows or double-pane windows with insufficient sound-deadening qualities.
SOLUTION
New Milgard or Milgard Quiet Line™ Windows
Moving up from older single- and even some double-pane windows to new Milgard vinyl or fiberglass double-pane windows will provide excellent reduction in outside noise. And for homes with close proximity to highways, railways, airports or commercial areas, our new vinyl Quiet Line™ offers even more noise prevention.
PROBLEM
Condensation, Leaks, Mold and Corrosion
Older windows with poor insulating qualities allow greater heat transfer, resulting in moisture collection that causes these problems.
SOLUTION
New Milgard Windows
Insulating frames, better sealing and modern glass technologies create a better barrier to heat transfer, greatly reducing condensation, leaks and related damage altogether.
PROBLEM
Poorly Functioning Lock Hardware
Old window and door locks feature designs that often fail or are easy to defeat.
SOLUTION
Milgard Hardware
All our hardware meets even California's tough forced entry standards, including our unique Positive Action Lock™ which ensures a closed window is a locked window.
