Major window producer answers needs of home repair and remodeling market.
Milgard Windows, one of America’s largest producers of high-quality windows and patio doors, is introducing the new Mastri™ premium replacement vinyl windows and patio doors series to meet the needs of Midwest and East Coast homeowners looking to invest in affordable yet durable, high quality replacement vinyl windows and doors.
“Replacing old windows is one of the most value-added improvements homeowners can do to decrease energy loss while adding beauty, durability and individual style to their homes,” says Mark Gallant, Sr. Marketing Manager. “Milgard is introducing the Mastri premium replacement vinyl windows line to provide the best quality options matched with excellent energy efficiency potential and affordability.”
Energy Efficient Design
Replacing old windows offers immediate aesthetic and energy-saving improvements, refreshing older looking homes and protecting homes where energy loss potential is the greatest – through the windows. To maximize energy savings and lifetime durability, the Milgard Mastri series offers an argon gas-filled, dual-glazed insulated glass unit featuring non-metallic Super Spacer technology to separate the glass panes and reduce energy loss compared with older metal spacer technology This reduces interior condensation problems when it’s cold outside. For additional energy savings and temperature control in any season, the windows feature Milgard SunCoat™ low-e insulating glass, which both reduces summertime solar heat gain and helps block wintertime heat loss
Improved Indoor Comfort
The Milgard Mastri series offers unique frame design features to reduce air infiltration potential through the use of a superior weather-stripping seal combined with a triple interlock frame on their popular double-hung windows to further prevent air slippage around the operable window sashes.
Homeowners who choose the Milgard Mastri series also will enjoy a quieter atmosphere due to its dual pane glass and noise-dampening frame configurations. For even higher noise control performance, Milgard offers additional glass options to yield further outside noise reductions.
Clean Design for Increased Curb Appeal
The appeal of never having to paint the window frames again is another major advantage of choosing the Milgard Mastri series. Reminiscent of freshly-painted wood, the series creates a classic natural wood look without the maintenance headaches. Plus, the overall glass viewing area is maximized with up to a 20 percent improvement over competitive windows due to its innovative frame design.
A variety of style and design choices also opens up a new world of individualized remodeling options. These include the choice of white or beige frame colors, which are solid throughout the frame to hide scratches. The Mastri™ series also offers several optional interior natural wood-grain finishes to choose from, including light oak, medium oak and cherry – all perfect finishes to complement your home’s cabinets and furnishings.
The Milgard Promise: Headache-free Maintenance and Full Lifetime Guarantee
The Milgard Mastri series is virtually care-free and offers customers “peace of mind” that surpasses most competitor offerings. Milgard recommends an occasional exterior cleaning with mild soap and water, which is exceptionally easy to accomplish due to the location of the window grids between the glass panes.
Milgard’s exclusive full lifetime warranty offers Mastri series customers an added bonus. For as long as the homeowner resides at their current address, they are covered by the warranty, which includes any necessary materials or labor involved in the unlikely event that a problem arises. In most cases, a uniformed Milgard Mastri™ replacement window technician will perform the service with one of the industry’s fastest response times. Even if the homeowner moves, the full lifetime warranty coverage is transferable for up to 10 years from the point of purchase. Reach Milgard anytime toll-free or via its Web site at www.milgard.com.
