Standard Grids – also known as Colonial grids, these are the popular squares that work well in traditional or contemporary styles. Standard grids can be used on the whole window or door, just on the top sash. You can also specify the number of lites across and up/down, depending on the size of the glass.
Valance Grids – Valance grids are similar to the Standard grids but are only across the top of the window or door. Like Standard grids, you can specify the number of lites across and the height.
Perimeter Grids – For an attractive contemporary look, consider Perimeter grids which provide an outline on the perimeter of the glass with the grid intersecting in the corners. Perimeter grids offer an even broader choice of patterns because you can specify a perimeter on each window, on just a sash or a perimeter across an array of windows and/or doors. You can have the grid intersection only at the top or in all 4 corners.
This microscopically thin coating is applied to one side of the glass to reflect heat from its source in the summer, keep heat inside in the winter and reduce harmful UV rays. SunCoat Low-E2 glass comes standard on all Milgard dual-pane windows and patio doors.
SunCoatMAX Low-E glass provides the best clarity and highest performance of all solar gain Low-E glass products.
Milgard developed a new, advanced water management system, exclusive to Essence Series windows. In the rare event that water enters the sash system, it is directed away from the beautiful wood interior. This allows the window to perform at a higher design pressure than most other wood windows, making Essence windows ideal for all conditions.
Essence windows are not merely a ‘fiberglass-clad’ wood product, but a true wood window enveloped by a tough, durable fiberglass frame. Milgard's secure connecting system firmly joins the wood interior frame to its fiberglass exterior frame for an aesthetically superior appearance with no unsightly nail holes or staples.
Essence Series fiberglass exteriors are resistant to water, cold, heat, insects, salt air and ultraviolet rays for long-lasting performance and low-maintenance. The powder-coated fiberglass exterior finish won’t crack, peel, bend, warp or stick due to expansion and contraction.
Every Essence Series window and patio door is designed and assembled in the U.S. and custom made to exact size and specifications.
