When you’re choosing windows for your home in the Pacific Northwest, there’s a lot you have to balance. Cold, wet winters. Summer heatwaves. And of course you want your home to look the way you’ve always dreamed it would.
That’s why more and more Puget Sound homeowners are going with fiberglass windows like the Milgard Ultra series. The Ultras’ advanced pultrusion process creates fiberglass frames with superior durability and efficiency that match the best of modern craftsman aesthetics.
Unmatched Durability and Strength
Milgard Ultras are known throughout the industry for their exceptional durability. There are two reasons behind this.
First, the high-pressure pultrusion process creates fiberglass that boasts the tensile strength of steel. This material doesn’t warp or crack in even the harshest environmental conditions, from -100° to 400°, so you don’t have to worry about cold snaps or heat waves. The frame is then powder coated for an extra layer of resilience against the elements.
Second, unlike vinyls and composites that can expand and contract significantly with temperature changes, fiberglass expands and contracts very little. In fact since it’s made of glass, it fluctuates at about the same rate as window glass. This means less stress on the glass, and less moisture and air seeping in between panes, giving your windows a longer life.
Superior Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is at the heart of Milgard Ultra windows. Since the frame and the glass are in such sync you get less seal breakage over time, so your insulation stays complete.
Plus they feature advanced Cardinal glass with a two-coat Low-E system, these windows are designed to optimize your home’s thermal performance. During winter, they help retain indoor heat, reducing the burden on your heating system. In the summer, they reflect outdoor heat, keeping your living spaces cool and comfortable.
If you’re in a particularly harsh climate, the option for triple glazing takes insulation to the next level, providing even greater energy savings and comfort.
Modern Craftsmen Aesthetic
The homes of the Puget Sound region are known for their craftsman charm, and Milgard Ultras only add to that aesthetic. Their clean, simple lines blend seamlessly with various architectural styles, from traditional to contemporary.
The windows' thin frame profile maximizes glass area, offering expansive views and flooding your home with natural light. And the powder-coated finish comes in subtle, elegant colors to enhance the curb appeal of your property.
Robust Lifetime Warranty
Milgard is so confident in the durability of their fiberglass windows that they give you a lifetime warranty on the frame, plus a limited warranty on glass and components. So you can be confident that these windows are going to stand the test of time.
