Vinyl Windows

Northeast Portland.

Time to upgrade from the old leaky, inefficient, single-pane windows,…

…to among the latest and greatest Vinyl windows on the market.

Milgard Tuscany Series windows with the simulated divided-lite surface-applied…

…muntins, which we’ve been waiting to see someone manufacture for close to 30 years.

Why have we been waiting for something like this to come along?

Because it fills a huge market niche. For example, many of the historical neighborhood associations in Portland today have wrestled control away from the homeowners to install just any old type of window they want…

…due to concern over the diminishment of a neighborhoods historical fidelity, and the consequential devaluation and marketability of the neighborhood as a whole. Vinyl windows are frequently frowned upon because of a skewed perception that they are a substandard product. In climates like the Willamette Valley, Vinyl will actually outlast most modern wood…

…windows, depending upon the architecture & the maintenance provided upon the wood windows. This of course highlights one of the strengths Vinyl provides; Low to no maintenance with almost any architecture and exposure to the elements. Concern for this particular project was aesthetic fidelity, rather than a bias erroneously & primarily promoted by the competitors of the Vinyl Window Industry.

As you can see, the aesthetic fidelity was achieved. Not only is today’s Vinyl winning the affordability race, it has now begun (or SHOULD begin) to meet the need to maintain certain architectural criteria in certain historical neighborhoods.
