Essence™ Series Windows

Beauty and strength. Style and innovation. Comfort and dependability.

Milgard Essence™ Series wood windows are a completely new approach to making a wood window. The result is a superior, long-lasting wood window providing greater energy efficiency and durability.

Our wood windows are beautiful on the inside and Milgard tough on the outside. They feature a wood interior in pine or optional Douglas fir or primed wood. A new internal secure connecting system results in a pristine interior wood surface with no unsightly nail holes or staples, perfect for staining, sealing or painting. The outside is durable fiberglass. Compare this to conventional wood windows with their exposed wood exteriors. Not only is ours better protected on the outside, but we also have an advanced water management system that protects our wood interior and harmlessly drains away water in the rare event water enters the sash system. What's more, Milgard's tough fiberglass exterior frame and sash construction is designed to last and last. Our proprietary powder-coat process (available in 15 colors) gives it a baked-on, sag-free, extremely durable exterior coating that resists scratches and gouges.

For new homes, remodeling projects, or wherever quality wood windows are desired, Milgard Essence Series windows deliver it all - as well as something ordinary wood windows don't provide: Milgard's Full Lifetime Warranty with Glass Breakage Coverage.

The size of our windows makes them very difficult to close and lock The windows we purchased and had installed are very difficult to close and line up to lock. We were not warned before purchase that because of the size and style of our window it may be difficult to close them. Also Milgard has outside contractors order and install its windows. Which i think hurts your buisness because i think i would have been informed a head of time about the difficulty of closing this style of windows when deciding which product was best for our house.

Quality, Service and Price I researched the market for 2 months looking for the best American window that was 1. not plastic or wood 2. had thermally broken glazing system 3. triple pane 4. had real gaskets. 5 sadly my client wanted double hung We're Rocky Mountain Passive House. We normally don't use any American made windows in our buildings. They're not good enough. When compromising overall u-value and going American, Milgard fiberglass is the best price, performance of any American made window. The ultra double hung, triple pane, t &t, is just better quality than the other big manufacturers. October 24, 2012
nice windows but.... a challenge to open because it lacks that lip at the bottom of window to grab onto to pull window up. Very frustrating! there's one at the top but we shouldn't have to always pull up blinds to open a window. Also I have yet to be able to shut completely enough to be able to lock it. Must not be properly installed. August 22, 2012
Product "Great" - Support "Not So Much" The product came as advertised, however there was NO DOCUMENTATION WHATSOEVER! Because I had NO INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, I did not know the wood clad interior trim could easily be removed to drill the screw hole for installing... so I drilled through the trim and then had to fill and repaint. Only with the 3rd large window did a trim accidentally come off and I learned it was removable. Several hours wasted. A balancer spring snapped on 1 window, like a rifle shot. I was surprised it did not shatter the window or injure me. This led to the discovery that all the balancer springs were the wrong size and needed replacement. Milgard sent subcontractors to do the work. They missed the 1st appointment time, and did not have the right parts the next 2 times, finally getting it right after about 2.5 months. I am very pleased with the product for the price (I am a licensed building contractor). I would never consider Milgard again if I depended on their service and support. Lack of documentation and unprepared technicians is inexcusable. April 2, 2012
one window easily came off track. i like the windows installed, i love the thickness of the glass. March 30, 2012
Bad Design The windows are constructed great. Wood stain looks great. Absolutely horrible design of the screen mounting for casement windows. Makes it impossible to mount our shades inside the window frame. It looks like we need ot mount them outisde thuse covering up all the stained wood we paid extra to have and match our house. Had we known this we could paid half the price for simple fiberglass windows. Very disappointed in spending the extra money for these. Also poor design of half round. The casement was only 2 inches thich. Had to order a custom casement for the additional 2 inches for a standard wall. Hopefully all the kinks are worked out with the design as they move along with this new product. Shows not to be the first on a new product February 6, 2012
