FAQs
ARE YOUR WINDOWS STANDARD SIZE OR CUSTOM TO EACH OPENING?
Unlike big box stores, every one of our windows is custom made for your home and opening size. In many remodel projects, framed openings can be inconsistent across the builder and homes can settle over time affecting the size window required to your home. Custom windows are always best in replacement applications.
CAN I CHOOSE DIFFERENT STYLES THAN WHAT I HAVE NOW?
With us being a custom manufacturer, we can make any style to fit your openings if they meet our manufacturing minimum and maximum sizes. An authorized dealer can advise what your options are, or you can contact us directly.
WILL NEW WINDOWS REDUCE OR ELIMINATE CONDENSATION?
Condensation happens from excessive moisture inside your home traveling to the coldest parts of your home, which could be your old inefficient windows. With a more efficient window, it may reduce if not eliminate the condensation problem. Please consult your authorized dealer or the factory as homes and previous windows are constructed differently.
WHAT TYPE OF OPTIONS DO I HAVE?
We offer all the latest trends on the market today. Plated finish hardware, black in/out windows, custom painted exteriors, luxury maintenance free wood grain laminate interiors. Plus, a glass package on every window style to meet Energy Star® requirements anywhere in the US.
WILL NEW WINDOWS PAY FOR THEMSELVES WITH ENERGY SAVINGS?
Most homeowners can expect positive savings from a few years and upwards when you compare increased home value (ROI), savings on utilities, county/utility/federal rebate programs versus the overall cost for material and labor.
DO I NEED A PERMIT WHEN REPLACING MY EXISTING WINDOWS?
It all depends on your city or county who handles the permitting process. Window and door replacement permits are typically straight forward when not modifying the rough opening. Very few building departments require a final inspection at completion.
ARE YOUR WINDOWS FOR REPLACEMENTS OR NEW CONSTRUCTION?
We offer windows for both applications. Our new construction has an option for an integrated nail fin as part of the frame on many collections, or we offer a nail fin adapter that could be used as well. Replacement windows are often commonly used in new construction applications.
CAN I PAINT MY NEW WINDOWS?
We do not recommend this as it will void your warranty. Our internal paint process uses an acrylic coating with built-in heat reflecting pigmented technology specified for vinyl windows. It’s a specialty paint coating not offered in big box stores or on the internet as it’s only meant for fenestration manufacturers. Eloquence windows come with interior and exterior paint options for those looking to give them a pop. For color options, visit our design tool.
CAN I CHANGE FROM A HALF SCREEN TO A FULL SCREEN?
Absolutely in almost every scenario. Our system saves every component size and the window we manufacture. Changing to a fully extruded screen may require a snap in adapter. Another option is full Flexscreen® without the need of a snap in adapter.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET MY WINDOWS INSTALLED?
Most authorized dealers have installed in as short as a day but could go into a few days if not more. It all depends on the size of the project and installation type to your project.
HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION?
Most of the work for installations will be done from the inside (in most scenarios), so a clear path is needed. Our authorized dealers typically recommend removing all blinds, furniture, or obstructions in front of your windows.
