Windows have a major impact on your home's look and comfort. Top-quality units enhance curb appeal, make the home's interior more attractive, improve energy efficiency and provide a source of natural ventilation, not to mention added weather-resistance and security.
WHY IT EARNED THE GH SEAL
Simonton’s double hung vinyl windows impressed our engineers and remodeling experts with their stylish designs, exceptional performance and optimal energy efficiency — all from a brand with a strong track record for reliability.
- STANDOUT PERFORMANCE Our team in the Good Housekeeping Institute executed a rigorous review of third-party testing and certification to confirm the window’s superb protection against air and water infiltration. We also performed operations tests in our Home Improvement & Outdoor Lab to check the durability of the fusion-welded frames, as well as the efficacy of usability features, like the tilt-in sashes that make the double-hung units especially easy to clean.
- STELLAR DESIGN The windows are available in a wide array of interior and exterior colors and finishes, plus grille profiles and patterns that complement a range of house styles, from classic to contemporary.
- DEEP ENERGY SAVINGS Featuring dual-pane insulating glass units with Low-E coatings and argon gas fill, the windows do an excellent job of keeping warm air inside the home in cold weather and just the opposite when the weather turns hot. That exceptional insulating quality also helps keep homes quiet, nice for homeowners who live on a busy street. And the windows can be customized to meet Energy Star criteria for superior energy efficiency and comfort in any climate zone.
- BRAND RELIABILITY Simonton stands behind the quality and craftmanship of its windows with a lifetime limited warranty on residential installations. Over its 75-year history, the brand boasts a 94% rating with consumers. Since Simonton became a GH Seal partner, we have not received any consumer complaints related to the 5500 and 6500 lines.
