What Makes Milgard's PureView Window Screen Better than Other Window Screens?

Many types of insect and window screens are dark in color, and thus have an effect on your view. Milgard’s PureView Window Screens are different, and allow you to enjoy the full beauty of the outdoors without compromising function or energy efficiency. These screens are designed to provide increased protection while allowing a greater amount of natural light to enter your home. Here are a few reasons why Milgard’s PureView window screens are better than the competition:

Superior Design

Traditional window screens are constructed from fiberglass fibers or yarns. Milgard PureView screens use smaller fibers of high durability, which affects the appearance of the screen itself. This combination increases the natural light transmitted through the screen while protecting against small particles and invasive insects.

Beautiful Appearance

This design also improves airflow and your view of the outdoors. The screen is less visible from the curb, allowing the beauty of your replacement windows to shine through. The finer mesh is the key to allowing more light while providing more protection than a traditional screen. Installing PureView screens on your windows can make your home more presentable to guests, passersby, and prospective buyers.

Custom Fit

The Milgard PureView Window Screen line can be installed with any of the energy-efficient windows available from the brand, making it the perfect companion for your replacement windows. No matter which kind of Milgard window you choose, you can enjoy the benefits of a PureView screen to go along with it.

We also provide professional installation that helps homeowners take advantage of Milgard’s warranties and ensure the full benefits of energy efficiency.

Choosing the Right Window Frame Color to Match Your Home

Many replacement window manufacturers offer window frames that come in a multitude of colors. Vinyl windows are infused with color, while wood options can be painted or stained to suit your preferences. Though it’s easy to go the plain route and select white vinyl windows or a default choice for wood windows, you shouldn’t be afraid to get a little creative. You’ll be pleased with the end results. Here’s a brief guide to choosing the right color for your window frames:

Coordinating Trim Colors

For your home’s exterior, you’ll want to look at your existing color scheme. Explore the colors provided by manufacturers like Milgard and Andersen Windows, and decide if you’re going to use one of their colors or a custom wood window that you can paint yourself. Matching your window color to your trim color is often a winning bet, but you might also play with complimentary colors. Request color swatches on pre-painted or colored vinyl frames so you can try them out. If you’re going to paint your window frames, do your homework and give each color a chance. This gives you the opportunity to see how your choices are affected by several different types of natural light throughout the day.

Indoor Inspirations

Many window replacement manufacturers offer windows with different-colored indoor and outdoor frames. Wood windows can look beautiful with their natural color or a stain, or with a fresh layer of paint. When it comes to deciding the color of your interior frame, you should look to your existing décor for inspiration—including the baseboards, moulding, and furniture.
