Why Custom Manufactured Windows Matter

Posted on March 27, 2015

Custom Manufactured Windows Matter. Customization makes a world of difference. For example, it’s not often that a man can walk into a department store and wear a suit off the rack. At the very least, adjustments can be expected in the sleeves, pant inseam and hem. Likewise, a woman shopping for a wedding dress rarely finds one that doesn’t need some alteration.

In window shopping, there is no “one size fits all” and “stock”, or “standard sized” windows will not always meet your measurement specifications. There are many reasons for this. An older home’s frame could have shifted over time, changing the dimensions of the opening. Even though your existing windows are a standard measurement, the frame may not have been built quite as such. Your existing windows may have performed well for you in the past, but if you’ve been experiencing a draft from your windows in the cooler months or feel warm air penetrating your living space in the summer, it could be that your window frames have shifted over time. When that occurs, a contractor may have to make adjustments to the frame to get a replacement window to fit.

Another frustration would be that once the frame is adjusted, the exterior facade and, in some cases, the interior walls, may need alterations to maintain the home’s symmetry. Simply said, there may be a lot of work involved in purchasing a “stock” window. This can add to the cost of what seemed like a more affordable option. Finally, stock windows have a reputation of needing replacement over the lifespan of owning a home because of the inferior integrity. In the long run, purchasing “stock” windows is really not an improvement to your home.

On behalf of Lighthouse Louisiana (formerly The Lighthouse for the Blind), please convey my thanks once again to your coworkers for supporting our summer camp for children who are blind. It is a rare thing to see a corporate family like yours, where people get together and give from their own hard-earned paychecks to local groups that are doing good work in the community. As donors, sometimes it’s hard to know what donations to organizations we care about are actually being used for. We consider LAS an important investor in our work, and we cannot thank you enough for helping us serve our clients.

Thank you,

We just finished getting new windows from LAS and I can’t be any happier. From start to finish, this job was done professionally. The salesman, Garrett, came to the house on time and explained the windows and the process and answered any questions that we had at the time. He indicated the person who would do the measurements would call and set up an appointment within two weeks and the the windows would be built and installed in about 5 weeks. Well, the job – from the initial estimate to complete install – was three weeks. The installed that completed the job did an excellent job of install, caulking and cleanup. We can’t give them a higher rating. The most amazing thing so far is the look and how much it has cut down on outside noise. I highly recommend LAS and since they are local, from repairs to employing people, we keep it right here at home. We are very satisfied customers.
