Purchasing New Windows for a Home
Homeowners may decide to purchase new windows for a home for many different reasons. Often, they’re tired of drafts entering the home and want to purchase replacement windows that are far more energy efficient and that fit the space properly. They may want to look into new windows because their current windows are damaged or don’t open easily anymore. Homeowners may also want to add in more windows for their home to let in more light during the day. No matter why the homeowner is interested in purchasing new windows, the main goal is to find the best windows for their needs at an affordable price. Milgard Trinsic Windows are an excellent solution for the modern window seeker.
Choosing Vinyl Windows for a Home
Vinyl windows are an excellent option for homeowners today. Though they’ve only recently become more popular to use, they’re definitely a great option for just about any homeowner. Unlike wood, they won’t rot or become damaged from the weather outside. They’re also incredibly easy to care for, can be designed to mimic the look of wood, and are going to continue looking and working great without needing to be replaced again for many years. They can replace wooden windows in homes today to enable the homeowner to get the perfect windows for their home.
How to Choose the Right Windows
All windows are not created equal, so choosing the right windows to purchase may take a little bit of time. It’s important to start by looking at the different features that are available today. Then, choose the style you might prefer for your home, look into the frames available, and the colors. Don’t forget to check out innovative features the window might have. If you want a contemporary, clean look for your home, Milgard’s Trinsic Series will be an excellent option. From there, choose the type of window you prefer, the color that works well for your home, and add grids or decorative glass to ensure the window is exactly what you’re looking for. You can customize the options to ensure you’re happy with how everything looks.

They’re built for performance and include all of the features you might be looking for. The Trinsic Series includes minimal and even sightlines, worry-free vinyl construction, Energy Star compliance designed for your climate, and standard weep hole covers and pull rail screens to make sure your windows perform their best. We paid attention to all of the details during the design of this new series to ensure you’ll love our new Trinsic windows.
SmartTouch Window Lock for Milgard Trinsic Windows
Our horizontal slider and single hung windows include the latest SmartTouch window lock, designed to make the window easy to open and close as well as easy to maintain. A quick glance lets you see whether the window is closed and locked, helping you ensure your home is locked whenever you leave. The SmartTouch lock was redesigned for the Trinsic Series, ensuring it blends in seamlessly, doesn’t obstruct your view, and offers the assurance you need that your windows are locked when you don’t want them open.
Choose the Right Type of Window for Your Home
Choosing the right type of window is the crucial first step toward replacing your windows. The Trinsic Series includes a variety of different types of windows so you can mix and match the different types inside your home. If you want to be able to open and close the windows, look into our awning window, casement window, single hung window or horizontal slider window. If you want windows that do not open but allow in as much light as possible, check out our picture window or our radius window. For windows that open, make sure you consider how the windows open as well as how they lock to ensure the window will work well inside your home.
Consider the Energy Efficiency of the Windows
One of the biggest reasons to get new windows is for improved energy efficiency. Newer windows will fit better, ensuring no drafts in the home. Additionally, at Milgard, we make sure our windows are energy efficient to help reduce energy usage in your home. Our windows are tested for use in your climate through thermal simulations to enable us to improve the efficiency of your home and meet green building efficiency standards. We also have options available to make sure the components of the windows you purchase from us match your region’s energy needs. Our windows adhere to Energy Start v6 requirements to ensure they meet or exceed U-factor and SHGC criteria as well, ensuring you purchase the most energy efficient windows for your home.
Milgard Trinsic Windows – Picture Window
Picture windows do not open or close, but they let in a lot of extra light. They’re available in just about any shape or size and are designed to let in more light and a beautiful view. They can be combined with other windows so you can have windows on the bottom that easily open and windows higher up that don’t need to be opened, giving you more natural light in your home. They can also be used in any room in your home, ensuring you can see the view outside clearly.
Milgard Trinsic Windows – Awning Window
Awning windows are hinged so they open outward from the top. This allows you to have ventilation inside the home while not worrying about the rain or falling leaves. Our Trinsic Series awning window is designed to be easy to operate and to look great, providing a clear view outside when it’s closed. These windows pair perfectly with our picture windows, giving you some ventilation in the room and maximizing your view of the outside as well as the light that can come in.
Milgard Trinsic Windows – Casement Window
Casement windows hinge at the side, opening outwards similar to a door. They do not have a rail like single or sliding windows, which means they provide an unobstructed view of outside. These windows are perfect for installing over something else, such as a sink, countertop, or appliance in your kitchen. These windows can operate with a crank to open them, making it easy to open and close the window even if it’s placed over something like a sink in your window.
Milgard Trinsic Windows – Single Hung Window
Single hung windows have two different sashes, with the bottom sash opening up to allow airflow. The top sash is fixed. These windows do not open inward or outward, making them an excellent choice in areas where space needs to be maximized. They’re especially good for first-story rooms and work well in combination with other types of windows. Our Trinsic Series single hung windows include the latest SmartTouch locks so you can easily make sure your windows are closed and locked when you need to leave the house.
Milgard Trinsic Windows – Horizontal Slider Window
The Trinsic Series horizontal slider windows are available as a single slider or double slider. There is a sash that is fixed and cannot be opened. The single slider has one slash that opens to the left or right, depending on the desired operation of the window. The double slider includes two sashes that can be opened, with one on either side of the fixed sash. These do not open inside or out, making them an excellent option for places where space is at a premium, such as nearby walkways, porches or patios. They also include the SmartTouch locks so you can easily make sure they’re closed and locked.
Milgard Trinsic Windows – Radius Window
Radius windows are similar to picture windows, but the top section of the window is a partial circle. This adds a unique element to the window, making it a design feature instead of just a way to view outside. These can be made to almost any dimensions to fit your home and are fixed like the picture windows. They’re great for higher windows that only need to add in more light, not open and close. You can pair the Trinsic Series Radius windows with picture windows or any other window in the Trinsic Series for a fantastic view and more light inside your home.
Add Grids or Decorative Glass
Grids and decorative glass can add to the look of your home and increase your home’s curb appeal. Decorative glass also adds privacy, giving you some light coming in without people being able to look into the room from outside. This is perfect for showers or near bathtubs. It’s also possible to have the decorative glass tempered, which makes it safety glass. The decorative glass is available in a number of different styles and tints you’ll want to check out today.
While the Trinsic Series minimizes the use of grids to create a larger viewing area in the window, grids can add to the curb appeal of your home and make your windows look fantastic. Endless grid options are available for the Trinsic Series windows. Flat and Sculptured grids are placed inside the glass, giving the gridded look you’re after without making it more difficult to clean the windows. Simulated Divided Lites have the grids both inside and outside of the glass, with a spacer inside the glass. This provides a gorgeous grid look for your windows.
Installation Process for Milgard Trinsic Windows
The installation process begins with choosing the perfect windows and measurements. If windows are being replaced, the old window will need to be measured carefully to ensure the new window will fit properly. This is best done by a professional to ensure there will be no gaps around the window after the installation. If you’re adding new windows to your home, have a professional measure where the new windows will be to ensure the new windows are the right size to look great in the room.
Once the measurements are taken, consider the type of window you want to purchase as well as any added design features you’re interested in. For instance, if you’re planning on purchasing a picture window for a bathroom, consider decorative glass for privacy. If you’re considering a window for your kitchen, think about whether you’d prefer a window that opens with a crank or a sliding window.
A professional will handle the installation for you. They’ll remove the old window, if necessary, and place the new window in the same opening. If there is not an opening yet, this will need to be made so the window will fit properly inside the wall. They’ll carefully install the window, ensuring the fit is perfect and making sure no air can get in or out around the window. Then, they’ll finish the installation and make sure the window looks fantastic. The professional will also remove your old windows so you have nothing to worry about.
