Custom windows fit perfectly. Stock windows, like those sold in stores or by builders, are available only in certain sizes. Most window openings are larger than the window actually being installed. This leaves several inches of open space around the entire window. While carpenters generally fill this space, it takes away from your viewing area and can impact energy efficiency. Custom windows will maximize your viewing area while improving energy efficiency.
U-factor is a standard measure of heat transfer through an entire window unit. The methods for measuring U-factor ratings were developed by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) at the request of the US Dept. of Energy and the Federal Trade Commission. The lower a U-factor, the better the window’s insulating ability. The higher the R-factor the better the energy efficiency. Look for windows with low U-factors and high R-values.
Yes, but the better question might be, “Should I install custom-made windows myself?” Professional installers have all the necessary equipment to do the job right and ensure there are no air or water leaks. Measuring the size of the window is also extremely important. If your measurements are off by as little as 1/8”, a custom-made window will not fit correctly. We strongly recommend that you let a professional do the job for you.

Thermal King Windows offer five interior wood grain choices so there’s a wood tone to complement any architectural motif. Many manufacturers do not offer wood grains. The process involves a tremendous amount of technical precision and complex calculations to custom bond the wood grain material to each individual vinyl extrusion. We’ve enhanced this process using new finishing equipment with .002” precision. This results in sharper, cleaner wood grain corners and a better, more beautiful window.
