My Local Big Box Store Sells Replacement Windows. Aren’t They All the Same?

Wall of Windows - Advanced Window Products

Not even close! Replacement windows from local home and garden stores are generally a low-quality replacement window. Local hardware stores carry often only carry windows for people looking for the cheapest window available. However, if you are looking for an energy efficient window to help decrease energy costs of your home or a triple paned window to keep street noise out – Advanced Window Products is your go to! We manufacture all of our replacement windows in our Salt Lake City warehouse with the highest quality materials available.

Another downside to buying replacement windows from a hardware store is that they come in standard sizes, and you may need to modify your home for the new window, which can be costly. On the contrary, Advanced Window Products will send a window professional out to your home to carefully measure your existing windows in order to manufacture the perfect sized window for optimal performance.


Why Does Condensation Form on a Window?

At the edge of most insulated glass units, there is a metal spacer which gives the unit its structural stability. The metal connection  permits heat loss by conduction, up to 120% faster than the center of the glass. We choose to use a Warm Edge Technology known as XL Edge because it eliminates condensation, as well as increases the seal of the glass unit five times more than a metal-sealed unit.

What Advantages Do Vinyl Windows Have Over Aluminum?
