Essence™ Series Wood Windows

Wood. Re-imagined. Starting from scratch, Milgard re-imagines the traditional wood window to provide superior performance, energy efficiency and durability — and deliver them onsite in two weeks or less. Featuring stunning wood interiors and durable fiberglass exteriors, these windows surpass wood, composite and clad windows in performance and beauty. Available soon in your area.

• Perfect window for use in new custom homes or larger remodeling projects where wood windows are an essential design element.
• Full wood interiors in pine, or optional Douglas fir or primed wood.
• No nail holes or staples for a clean, aesthetically superior appearance. No puttying required after installation.
• Factory powder-coated exteriors or paintable onsite; unfinished interiors for sealing or staining onsite.
• Meets 2010 ENERGY STAR® qualifications for energy efficiency in all zones with no costly energy upgrades; may be further enhanced with a triple glaze option that is up to 30% more efficient than the base window package.
• Made regionally for a much shorter lead time than traditional wood windows — delivered in two weeks or less in our standard four colors (allow slightly longer lead time for Select colors).
• Customizable with a full range of hardware and grid options — including non-linear grid patterns.
• Flush-mounted, patented SmartTouch™ Lock system on double hung and gliding windows for greater ease-of use and security. Classic spoon lock also available for homes with traditional architecture.
• Full Lifetime Warranty with Glass Breakage.

• Patent-pending new secure connecting system combines wood and fiberglass parts for an extremely weather-tight window that operates smoothly and easily, and simplifies repairs.
• Innovative structural system for wood frame components for a clean look, and easy part replacement.
• Forward-thinking design allows Milgard to respond quickly to accommodate new design requirements and innovations.
• Wider glazing pocket allows triple-glazing and can readily accommodate different glass thicknesses and performance improvements.
• Taller sash stop accommodates heavier hardware and enables windows to carry additional weight of triple glazing and other additions without additional bracing or exterior arms and limiters.

• Warmth and beauty of wood, plus strength and durability of a fiberglass frame.
• Double-walled, pultruded fiberglass for exceptional strength and resistance to thermal conductance.
• Exteriors impervious to water, cold, heat, insects, salt air and ultraviolet rays for long life and low maintenance. Will not crack, peel, bend, warp or stick due to expansion and contraction.
• Standard exterior colors available: Frost, Natural Crème, Harmony, and Bark. Select colors: Fog, Pebble, Rattan, Classic Brown, Tweed, Black Bean, Twilight, Evening Sky, Fern, Pea Pod, Cinnamon at no upcharge. (Slightly longer lead times may apply to Select colors.)
• Standard and custom exterior colors, easily repainted for future flexibility.
• Colors for the weather stripping and secure connecting system have been coordinated with exterior colors to provide a cohesive look to the window no matter from which angle it's viewed.
• Standard size 3 ½” bottom rails across all styles for equal sight lines no matter which style you specify.
• Available with 3D® and 3D MAX® energy packages custom tailored to geographic locations.
• Comes with standard SunCoat® Low-E insulating glass or SunCoatMAX® option for protection against fabric fading.
• Triple glazed option for up to 30% more energy efficiency than standard glass package.
