Style Line
Style Line Series offers beautiful, affordable, worry-free vinyl windows. Its slim and sleek quality vinyl frames allow more light into your home, providing better, more expansive views. They also do not need painting and won’t corrode.
Ultra Series
Ultra Series fiberglass windows are energy-efficient, strong, durable, and require low maintenance. In addition to their beautiful design, they are an excellent choice if you are looking for windows that are long-lasting and durable.
Material
Style Line vinyl windows are manufactured with a contoured Z-bar frame profile to enhance architectural details and save on costs. Product installation for this line does not require costly repairs as it uses a portion of the existing window frame in the installation process. The Ultra Series is made for durability and strength and is easily a favorite too. The Ultra Series fiberglass material resists swelling, rotting, and warping. The frame is heat and cold resistant and puts less stress on the seals for a clear view. Fiberglass is considered one of the best materials for construction, being manufactured through a process called ‘Pultrusion’ whereby glass rovings and mats are pulled through a resin bath. This process is how the material gets shaped with immense strength and durability, making it multiple times stronger than vinyl.

Our Recommendations
Style Line windows are great for budget-conscious projects. They are a perfect match for modern homes and where bigger glass space is ideal. They are affordable but at the cost of some energy-efficiency and strength. Most consumers pay a 10 to 30 percent upgrade to cover the energy efficiency inherently lost. Style Line does not have vent stops, as they require a locking system upgrade and a better spacer. Fiberglass windows are the best option for strength, durability, and energy efficiency. Their materials for construction are made to outperform the strongest frames you can find on the market and Milgard offers versions of these windows at the highest quality as well as the best-looking ones.
