Better windows, better home.
The benefits of quality windows are endless: steadier temperatures, lower bills, less noise and a home that looks — and sells — better.
10 reasons to replace your windows
Rebates & incentives
Government and utility rebates are often available for new energy-efficient windows — contact your local energy company or dealer.
Lower utility bills
Quality windows mean less energy to heat and cool your home — savings that add up month after month.
Safety
Cracked and broken windows become more dangerous in winter as glass grows brittle. Drafts are uncomfortable, too.
Environmentally friendly
Efficient windows use less oil and natural gas, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Remove hazardous materials
Older windows may contain lead paint — upgrading can protect your family’s health.
Stop leaks
Leaky windows let water in front of and behind the walls, where it can lead to mold and damage.
Goodbye, single pane
Old single-pane windows freeze open or shut, feel icy and can frost on the inside.
Fresh seals
Failing seals let moisture in. New windows seal tight against the elements.
Great value
Dealers frequently offer savings on windows and installation.
Curb appeal & resale value
New windows instantly refresh your home’s look and help it command a higher resale price.
Practically no maintenance.
You’ll be amazed at how easy Slocomb windows and doors are to clean.
Glass
Use any window cleaner on standard glass. For glass with High Performance Glass Guard, rinse with warm water and wipe dry with a soft cloth — no ammonia or abrasive cleaners.
Vinyl frames
Premium Slocomb vinyl comes clean with mild detergent or simple soapy water.
Moving parts
Lubrication is rarely needed. If it is, use light machine oil sparingly on metal parts.

Warranty detailsAnswers from our engineers
The questions we hear most from homeowners like you.
What is a replacement window?
A true replacement window is custom built to fit within the opening of an existing window — installed precisely without disturbing the interior and exterior around it.
Why custom instead of stock windows from a home center?
Custom windows fit perfectly, so they deliver the best energy efficiency and install with very little mess. Stock windows may cost less up front, but added labor, siding, brick or drywall work quickly outweigh the savings.
Do replacement windows really pay for themselves?
With high-quality, energy-efficient windows, yes. Well-built vinyl windows lower energy use and virtually eliminate maintenance — no scraping or painting — so you recoup the investment over time.
Can vinyl windows be beautiful?
Absolutely. Sculptured or sleek styles, white, tan or woodgrain finishes, multiple grid patterns and decorative glass make today’s vinyl windows both beautiful and unique.
Will new windows eliminate condensation?
No one can guarantee that — condensation comes from humidity in the air. But warm-edge glazing keeps the glass warmer and helps reduce it.
Why is vinyl the ideal window material?
Vinyl doesn’t rot or corrode, can be precisely extruded, insulates well in multi-chamber designs, and can be fusion welded to eliminate leaks at the joints.
Are all vinyls the same?
No. Lesser vinyls can become brittle, discolor or expand and contract. The best are proprietary compounds formulated specifically for windows.
What makes one window stronger than another?
Profile design and assembly. Strong sashes and frames keep their shape in high winds so weatherstripping stays effective. Look for all fusion-welded joints and glass sealed to the sash.
Do woodgrain vinyls look like real wood?
Quality woodgrain laminates come very close — and never need staining or sealing.
