Casement windows have one of the lowest air infiltration rates in the industry. They are built to last and feature dual continuous seals of weather stripping, so you’ll be comfortable no matter the season.
Features and Benefits:
Windows that provide comfort paired with the perfect panoramic view.
With a single fixed pane, picture windows frame a view of the outdoors. They are typically installed in a home’s bedroom, kitchen, or other living space.

Picture windows offer flexible design options and allow for additions like awnings and casements to create a more unique visual with added functionality.

Individual double-hung casement windows that open by a hand crank.
Bay and bow windows provide added beauty and give your home’s architectural design a focal point. Both windows are made of a group of individual double-hung windows that can be opened with a hand crank.

While bay windows have three panes of glass, bow windows have four panes or more.
Bay Windows: Choose from an array of glass, designs, sizes, and wood grain interior colors to preserve your home’s classic look! Our bay windows provide a larger center picture window with your choice of double-hung windows or casement windows on the ends.

Deciding which replacement window option is right for you isn’t easy. Energy efficiency is a major factor, and there are a few things you can do to make sure you’re getting the most out of your energy efficient windows.
In this article, we outline the five key things that matter when it comes to window energy efficiency. Check it out, and then reach out for a free quote!
Installation is key to ensuring your windows perform efficiently. Here are just a few of the factors you should consider.
Thermal Performance
Incorrect insulation around the window’s frame will allow drafts to enter your home. Improper installation can cause stress on the frame and sash, allowing energy loss around the frame and loss of the window seal. Once the seal is gone, your window will no longer be insulated and performing properly.
Air Infiltration
Air infiltration causes cold drafts and temperature differences within a room, which ultimately require you to set the thermostat higher or lower. Sealing and properly insulating the perimeter of the window frame keeps stubborn drafts from sneaking in. Ensuring the window closes and seals properly is an important step in the process.
Wind Loads
An improperly anchored window may move within the rough opening or become misaligned, causing poor operations or even permanent damage. When the wind blows, your windows should rise to the challenge of protecting your home.
Water Damage
When installing your windows, it’s important to incorporate a water barrier and water drainage plane to ensure no water penetrates around the frame of the window. Water can cause damage to the wall structure, weakening the support and seal around the window. Once the seal around the window is broken, air and water can easily access your home.
Sound Control
Proper insulation around the perimeter of your window can help reduce outside noise. A poorly balanced and anchored window may squeak or groan from wind and air pressure, causing more noise issues.
The glass you choose for your windows is an important consideration. Glass affects your home’s appearance, the clarity of your view from inside your home, the amount of light that enters your home, and how comfortable you feel throughout the year. It can also help you save on heating and cooling bills and protect your belongings from fading.
Low-Emissivity (Low-E) coatings are one of the newest innovations in window performance. Learn more about the benefits of low-e glass in this article from our trusted dealer at Sunrise (now part of the MI Windows and Doors family).
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is a non-profit organization that has defined labeling requirements for windows and doors. This information helps homeowners choose the best products from their home. Under the program, products are independently tested, certified, and labeled to ensure they perform as advertised.
Installing new windows is a big investment. Before you begin the installation process, be sure the products you choose have been tested by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), a third-party nonprofit that certifies window and door rating and labeling.
Next, consider the impact your existing windows have on your home’s beauty, value, and interior comfort, as well as what you want to achieve in replacing them.
Finally, consider these four factors when searching for replacement window options: energy efficiency, aesthetics, durability, and maintenance.
To determine your return on investment, you’ll want to consider resale value, energy savings, aesthetics, comfort, convenience, security, and noise reduction. Averages for resale value and energy savings are easy to find, while others are more subjective.
Homeowners typically consider replacing windows because they are unsatisfied with their current windows. Improper installation is one of the top reasons for window failure and energy leakage. Understanding why windows fail is essential to choosing the best window and installation type to meet your expectations.
Here are some reasons vinyl windows are a great choice for your replacement windows.
Many homeowners know it’s time to replace their windows when they regularly receive higher than usual energy bills. This is likely a sign of cracked or improperly insulated windows. Old windows may also start to display condensation between the window panes, which indicates the frame, glass, or seal is damaged or that the glazing on the windows is fading.
Water damage is another sign it’s time to replace your windows. If you see mold or chipping, it’s likely time for new windows.
