The Importance of Window Quality

Kenny Tashman • April 15, 2024

In the world of home construction, the choice of windows and patio doors is critical, largely because of quality. This was highlighted in a Professional Builder Survey, where product quality stood out as the primary criterion for builders when selecting window brands. With over 50 years in the business, Milgard Windows & Doors has set industry standards, offering a Full Lifetime Warranty as a testament to its commitment to quality.

Key Principles for Superior Window Quality and Door Design

When it comes to designing windows and patio doors, three major principles drive Milgard’s innovations:

1. Smooth Operation

Ease of use is paramount for homeowners who prefer windows and doors that operate smoothly. Milgard’s SmartTouch technology exemplifies this, featuring a window lock and patio door handle designed for effortless operation. This system allows users of all ages to open and close their windows and doors with a simple motion. The visual indicator ensures the lock status is clear at a glance.

2. Energy Efficiency

As energy standards evolve, staying ahead of the curve is a must. Milgard offers energy-efficient products tailored to specific climate needs. This enhances comfort by keeping homes warm in winter and cool in summer. The company’s commitment to exceeding ENERGY STAR v6 criteria through continuous thermal performance testing aims to optimize the U-Factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), ensuring homeowners enjoy an energy-efficient living environment.

3. Advanced Hardware Design

Milgard’s dedication to aesthetics and functionality is evident in its hardware options, which draw inspiration from sleek European designs. Available in the U ltraTM Series casement windows, homeowners can select from premium metal finishes like Brushed Chrome or Satin Nickel. The Essence Series adds an exclusive Oil Rubbed Bronze finish, enhancing appearance and durability. The robust design of their door hinges also supports heavier weights and allows for easy installation and maintenance.

The Functional Benefits of Quality Windows

Windows and patio doors do more than fill your home with natural light and fresh air; they contribute to its security, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. Milgard’s commitment to excellence is reflected in its in-house production of fiberglass and vinyl liners, ensuring superior quality control.
