Compare

Prime Vinyl windows have some of the best design and quality features in the industry. Let’s compare Prime Windows against 90% of the vinyl windows on the market today.

Window Spacers

Prime: Cardinal Glass Double Strength Premium Glass. 3/4″ as Double Glazed, or 1 1/8″ as Triple Glazed. Made in North America with stainless steel spacer and rounded corners.

Competition: Super Spacer, Guardian or PPG sealed unit. Ironed on, wavy black rubber / foam spacer system with questionable quality control & high seal failure rate. Leads to bubbling and unsightly failed window.

Preserve Window Film

Prime: Preserve Film is factory applied ensuring your windows arrive in pristine condition. Following installation the film is removed to show off your clean, scratch free glistening windows.

Competition: Typically not available or offered. Glazing often marked up or covered in residue. Transported in an open pickup.

Renovation Flange

Prime: Beveled Exterior Frame – Adds curb appeal and character to the window and your home. Retrofit Flange as 1 3/4″ -Double walled for long term strength. Reinforced frame and locking rails.

Competition: Single walled retrofit flange that is often an unsightly 2”+ wide, and/or ‘Snap On’, that can warp or discolour over time on the south/west exposures caused by UV light coming from the sun. Offers no curb appeal and less glass.

High Security Locks

Prime: Optional Secondary Keyable Window Locks -That also function as “Night Stops”.

Competition: Plastic ‘night stops’, that are easily broken or can shear off.

Patio Door Locks

Prime: Patio Doors come standard with Double Mortise (Dual Hooked) locks and foot locks for added security and convenience.

Competition: Patio door with single hooked lock, where the moving portion of the door can easily be lifted out and is not very secure.

Slider Track

Prime: Proprietary Stainless Steel Sliding Track – Removable and stays clean forever. Roller System – Nylon self tracking concave wheels with stainless steel axles.

Competition: Vinyl raised track with steel or brass rollers, this marks up the vinyl track after time. Even rolls up and down and can be hard to close or open.

Installation

Prime: We install our windows using the best materials to ensure a lasting product. We hire the best installers and pay them accordingly. Some have been with us for 15 years. All our methods involve the full aluminum frame removal method.

Competition: Some do a great job, some do not. Some are very inexperienced, fresh hires off Craigslist and some don’t really care. Many will leave the old aluminum frame in place, a piggy back install. That photo is a new install. We replaced all the windows with properly sized Prime windows, sealed it, added trim and made it right.

Warranty

Prime: Lifetime Warranty – Frame, Sealed Glass Units, Our Install, and it Includes Labour! Transferable Warranty 25 Years – Great selling feature if you ever move.

Competition: Warranty typically 5 years or less on install & labour,
and only 10 years on seal failure. May not be transferable. The above failed seal was a large complex, all not under warranty.
