SIMONTON WINDOWS

Simonton is one of the more notable manufacturers of replacement windows serving Los Angeles and the rest of the nation. Simonton windows are known for durability, quality and beauty. Most importantly, Simonton replacement windows are famous for incorporating the very latest window technology to provide customers with the most advanced window features available anywhere in the world.

There are a number of dealers and contractors in Los Angeles who swear by Simonton windows, especially in new construction. That doesn’t mean that those who already own homes are left in the cold, though. Simonton windows are one of the best choices as replacements when it’s time to upgrade.

Windows of Opportunity
Among a host of window and door options, Simonton offers two premier vinyl-replacement lines, Impressions and Owens Corning Mosaic. “They’re both in their second full year and are top-of-the-line products,” Hayes says. “They are marketed by dealers directly to homeowners.”
Simonton Impressions® offers multiple features that ensure homeowners that they are getting the most structurally sound, energy-efficient windows and doors. Says Simonton President John Brunett, “Like all of our lines, the Simonton Impressions® family is engineered for superior performance, thermal efficiency and long-lasting beauty.”
The Impressions® 7500 windows feature a fusion-welded frame and sash, the Denny Clip™ pivot system for perfect sash alignment, a contoured lift rail and the triple-stepped Simonton Sill®. Flush-mounted Air Loks™ provide partial ventilation while a stainless steel, constant-force, three-quarter coil spring balance system provides a constant tension to hold the window open no matter what the position. These windows are available in many styles, including double-hung, slider, casement, garden window, patio door, picture, bay, bow and geometric. The 7500’s exterior features a coved design to blend with any architectural style. The windows are energy-efficient and durable, and require little maintenance.
A Super Sensor glass package is an option available on Simonton Impressions® 7500 windows, a feature that helps to create a secure, energy-efficient, safe and sound-deadening window. The package combines Low ESC/Argon-filled glass, warm-edge technology through the unique Super Spacer® spacing system and KeepSafe® laminated glass. Other notable benefits are that the PVB inner glass layer filters 98 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet rays and significantly reduces sound transmission.
Simonton also manufactures vinyl replacement and new-construction windows for Owens Corning, a world leader in high-performance glass fiber composites and building materials systems.
Among the company’s premier Mosaic™ line of 9500 windows is the Mosaic™ Hi-R glass, available on 9500 double-hung, slider and picture windows. The option combines three panes of glass, two Low ESC coatings, Super Spacer® and Krypton gas to create a super energy-efficient glass package. The features increase thermal properties and, as a result, help to keep the inside of a home more comfortable, regardless of outside temperature, says Christopher Burk, Simonton’s marketing manager of the Owens Corning window brand. Inside each window and patio door frame, multiple chambers create dead-air spaces that act as insulation and increase energy efficiency. In addition, unique spacer systems help to increase edge-of-glass temperatures. The Mosaic™ glass package combines a terrained solid silicone spacer and 1-inch double-strength, Low-ESC/Argon-filled glass to produce a superbly energy-efficient window.
Mosaicв„ў 9500 windows come in more than 15 styles, including double-hung, slider, casement, picture, geometric, bay and bow. Each is custom-sized and features a chamfered exterior frame with a slightly beveled edge to add an elegant exterior look. These windows come in four colors: white, tan, honey oak wood grain and amber oak wood grain.

The Star of Efficiency
A front runner in the window manufacturing business, Simonton is a strong believer in making its product energy-efficient. The company participates in Energy Star, an independent federal government program establishing a set of guidelines to recognize the energy efficiency of a multitude of products for the home-building industry. “Studies show that over 40 percent of the annual energy budget of a home is consumed by windows and doors,” says Lazor. “Windows and doors labeled compliant with Energy Star guidelines are 40 percent more efficient than products manufactured to meet common building-code guidelines.

For Simonton Windows^В®, one goal has remained the same. Always exceed customers’ expectations by providing the highest-quality products available and unbeatable service. While this vision may seem a bit fundamental to some, it is a way of life for Simonton and its employees.
