Materials
The Tuscany series and Trinsic series windows are both made from Milgard’s signature vinyl formula. As a vertically integrated company, Milgard has complete control over the vinyl material used to manufacture the vinyl frames in Tuscany and Trinsic windows. The difference here is more so in the design of the vinyl frames. Tuscany windows have a few more curves to them than Trinsic windows which have clean lines and square corners.

Operation Styles
Windows come in many styles, Milgard offers all the most common styles in both Trinsic and Tuscany window collections. The Tuscany series does offer two more styles than the Trinsic series which may make a difference to some homeowners.
The Tuscany series offers a double hung style and bay and bow styles. Bay and bow styles aren’t as common in most homes as hung windows. Double hung windows are visually similar to single hung windows but have two operable sashes instead of one. Two operable sash allow you to ventilate from the top and bottom of the window.
