PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

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.

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 GlassSunCoat® 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™

WindowsMoving 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 LockHardware

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.
