Once you've decided which window brand is best for your home's style and budget, it's time to dive into which window type is best for you. That's why we're breaking down two customer favorite Milgard products: Milgard Style Line vs. Milgard Aluminum. In this article, we'll tell you about each product's features, and compare and contrast the two offerings. 

Energy Performance

All windows vary based on material type, glass thickness and material, various coatings, and other qualities in their energy ratings. Below, you'll find the ratings for both the Milgard Style Line and Milgard Aluminum Series windows. 

Frame Profile

The minimum window frame depth and varying window profiles range dependent on which series and style of window you choose. For specific details on minimum depth and frame profiles, check out the Milgard for Professionals website, where you can search for the specifications for specific windows. 

Frame Composition

The composition of a window's frame is one of the largest determining factors in your purchase decision. Between the Milgard Style Line and Milgard Aluminum Series, you have two options.

Tilt Sash

The Tilt Sash, or component of the window that allows a window to open via a tilting process, is not available in all window types. For both Milgard Style Line Windows and Milgard Aluminum Windows, tilt sashes are available for single hung and horizontal operating styles, but not for picture windows, radius, or awning windows.

Because each window series is made differently and adapts to homes in different ways, not all window lines are best for construction or replacement. Luckily, the Milgard Style Line Series & the Milgard Aluminum Series are both perfect for both replacement and new construction!
