Leading Direct-set Window Manufacturer Remedies 'Builder Grade' Replacement Issues
WinDura Windows and Doors, based in Overland Park, KS, is the area's leading manufacturer of direct-set windows. With similar characteristics as picture windows, direct-set windows are often found in homes less than 30 years old.
Some common problems with "builder grade" direct set windows include:
- Inconsistent design, quality, and exterior glazing-stops
- Wood exteriors frequently with "finger-jointed" pine that rots and deteriorates
- Water leaks that can cause interior damage and glass seal failure
- Inefficient glass that causes fading-damage and high heating and cooling expense
- Even with new vinyl trim, the old glass can still develop fogging, or seal-failure.
- Hidden damage may exist that won't be revealed by simply replacing the trim.
- A newly trimmed direct-set window may look different than others near it.
- The existing glass still presents an energy liability
The WinDura Direct Set replacement solution includes the following benefits:
- Restores to the original look including replicating the glass-lines for window treatment compatibility
- Full insulation installed around the frame perimeter to block air-drafts
- Full frame replacement allows inspection and repair of any interior wall damage
- Permanent "no-rot" vinyl exterior-can be left white or painted
- Choice of primed paint-ready or stain-grade interior
- Choice of interior glass-edge trim options
- Tempered double pane glass
- Energy-efficient glass upgrades to control heat and solar damage
- 10-Year comprehensive product guarantee
