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 New Milgard windows 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 Excessive Heat Gain or Loss Caused by old, drafty windows or noninsulated and single-pane clear glass. 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.
