Why Milgard Trinsic Vinyl Windows? 

Vinyl is a staple material in many industries, including home remodeling. Vinyl, or PVC, is plastic. Developed in the early 19th century, it gained popularity across industries because of its low-cost production, is resistant to moisture, and is easy to mold and color.

More than that, it’s also a  recyclable material since it’s made mostly from salt - a renewable substance.

Because of the inherent strength of this particular kind of plastic and the ease of repurposing it, vinyl can have an extremely long lifespan. For the longevity most of us look for in our home elements, vinyl windows are a reliable option that can be customized to blend perfectly with our homes.

Milgard’s Trinsic Series has captured the best vinyl and made it an even more stand-out material.

All vinyl is not created equally. Quality will differ from one manufacturer to the next.

Milgard has developed its own vinyl formula, carefully considering titanium dioxide content and finishing its frames with a premium two-coat finish.

The result? Their vinyl windows are more heat resistant, which guards against aging and warping.  In an environment with plentiful sunlight, exposure to UV rays can compromise the integrity of the vinyl. Milgard’s formula and finishes allow ultraviolet rays to pass through the color formulation and reflect off the vinyl frame keeping the windows looking new for years.

Milgard’s high-quality vinyl technology means they can produce a slimmer frame. No matter which operating style you choose, the Trinsic series features equal sightlines and minimalistic hardware, which also provide a streamlined look. Clean lines create a sleek, graceful and modern silhouette that maximizes views and brings more natural light into your home, setting the Trinsic series apart.

Black Windows are Just the Beginning - Milgard Trinsic Series 

Black, white, and brushed metal are the hottest color trends for modern home design. Milgard’s effort to create a high-quality, modern window doesn't just stop at their sleek frames. The Trinsic Series is available in 11 neutral color options that perfectly complement modern home designs.

The 3 Standard colors, White, Tan, and Clay, are available as interior and exterior finishes.

The 8 Premium exterior colors range from deep, expressive Bronze, timeless Silver, and airy Ivory. All windows with Premium exterior colors have a white interior.

What About the Glass? - Milgard Trinsic Series 

From a performance perspective, glass is one of the most important elements of a window. The right glass can improve energy efficiency and offer increased privacy with texture and tint options.

Consider that each room of your home has different levels of sun exposure depending on the direction your windows face. One side could benefit from sun protection, while another area of your home could benefit from increased privacy.

For areas of your home that experience the most sun exposure, the Trinsic series offers two low-emissions glass coatings:

SUNCOAT® Low-E2 Glass 

This microscopically thin coating is applied to one side of the glass to reflect heat from its source in the summer and reduce harmful UV rays (up to 84%!). SunCoat Low-E2 glass comes standard on all Milgard dual-pane windows.

SUNCOATMAX® Low-E3 Glass 

Reduces solar heat gain by more than two times, Low-E glass helps keeps your house cooler in the summer. You’ll also enjoy additional UV-A and UV-B rays protection for your fabrics and other furnishings.

The below options are available for rooms requiring a bit more privacy:

SmartTouch Hardware -  Milgard Trinsic Series

The sleek hardware is one of the defining features of the Trinsic series of windows. Developed by Milgard, SmartTouch hardware offers easy-to-operate and easy-to-maintain handles and locks. Better yet, this hardware blends perfectly with the minimalist, modern aesthetic of the Trinsic series. So what makes the Trinsic series stand out in window hardware?

A Light Touch - The window lock mechanism is incorporated into the window sash for a sleek, low-profile design. It’s easy to use for anyone. One single motion opens or closes the window and locks it. No pinching, forcing, squeezing, or twisting.

Security at a Glance - SmartTouch offers peace of mind. When the handle is down, the window is locked. When the handle is up, the window is unlocked. It’s for people of all ages and abilities.

The Right Element - The lock assembly is made from die-cast zinc, so it's tough and built to last.

Warranty -  Milgard Trinsic Series 

Would you put your name on a product you didn’t believe in? Milgard doesn't. Only products that live up to their standards make it into their product lineup. Trinsic vinyl windows are backed with their Full Lifetime Warranty. Milgard will repair or replace any defective materials or workmanship and will pay the costs of all parts and labor as long as the product purchaser is a homeowner. Also, coverage extends 10 years from the install date of the original warranty to the successive owners, free of charge.
