Milgard® thermally improved aluminum windows and doors are ideal for cooler climates and earn a light commercial rating. They're excellent for use in homes, schools, restaurants, government buildings and other light commercial applications. Thermally improved aluminum windows are available for new construction, retrofit or replacement windows. Their high-performance thermal break frame provides the energy-efficiency required for extreme weather conditions.
- High-performance thermal-break frame design earns higher thermal rating for greater energy efficiency.
- SunCoat® Low-E high-performance insulating glass (standard on all Milgard windows and doors).
- Three interior frame finishes; two exterior frame finishes.
- Custom-made — most with no extended lead time.
- Include industry-leading Full Lifetime Warranty.
- Optional stainless steel hardware system for salt air climates.
- Two skylight models (fixed and operable).
- Full line of aluminum patio doors.
- Cleaner look with even sight lines. When using other Montecito new construction windows to flank (or above and below) Montecito picture windows, frames align with a clean look similar to wood windows.
- Milgard's high-performance thermal-break frame design delivers an improved thermal rating and higher energy efficiency.
- Sealed, mechanically joined corners stay square and true over years of use.
- Milgard Positive Action Lock (PAL) on sliding and single hung windows closes and locks window securely in one action. Eliminates guessing—if the window is closed, it's locked. Lock meets and exceeds the toughest residential forced entry codes in the nation.
- Single hung windows feature precision balancers for a lifetime of smooth, almost effortless operation.
- Milgard's 780 Series Skylight uses a hidden drainage system to drain moisture without unsightly openings. Prevents the air and water infiltration that causes drafts and leakage.
- Structural ratings of these windows and doors make them ideal for light commercial buildings (schools, restaurants and government), as well as homes.
- Clean, narrow sight lines with the strength and stability of aluminum.
- White, tan, clear anodized or bronze anodized frames.
- Milgard Z-Bar™ frame allows easy replacement without disruption of original building envelope for stucco applications.
- H-Bar™ window system enables replacement of old sloped wood windows.
- Energy efficiency choices include our standard SunCoat® Low-E insulating glass or the SunCoatMAX® option, which provides protection against fabric fading.
- Multiple grid configurations available. Grids placed in dual glazed insulated glass for easy window cleaning.
- Color-matched extruded screen frames included with all operable windows and doors.
- Sliding door exceeds California's forced entry codes, some of the toughest in the nation.
- Manual or motorized operable skylight models.

Tempered glass is ideal for reducing the likelihood of injury in the event of breakage in applications like patio doors, sidelites and bathroom enclosures for showers and tubs.
- Laminated – Laminated glass is highly effective in reducing noise. It also eliminates 99.9% of ultraviolet rays, providing the highest degree of protection from the sun for your home furnishings. Concerned about excessive outdoor noise? Get the utmost protection against noise with our Sound Control Windows.
- Argon/Air Mix – Optional argon gas, used between panes, is also available to further improve thermal performance.
