Are Your Windows Eye Catching?

By Brad Flannigan

Your windows are the eyes of your home.  They are what you look out of to see the world outside and it is what attracts others to look at first when they pass by.  If you are a homeowner who wants your windows to make your home eye catching, then you may be in the market for custom window replacement.

When choosing a replacement window, you’ll look for windows that are aesthetically appealing from inside to outside, provide light and view, and let in fresh air when desired but be airtight when needed.

Infinity Fiberglass Replacement Windows from Marvin are Callen’s premier replacement windows, because Infinity from Marvin windows are eye catching, easy to operate, durable, and besides, you’ll save money on your fuel bills.  Callen was chosen by Marvin to be the exclusive retailer for Infinity windows in the metro Milwaukee area because of its long history offering premium replacement windows, and the way it comes to market with those windows.

Let’s talk about design first.  Infinity windows are a custom window, made exclusively for your home’s “point of view.”  Whether you want to replace a standard double-hung, or try something different, window configuration options are many, including awning, casement, bow, bay, polygon, octagon, and picture window.  If you are tired of a standard double hung, you might consider a bay.  A large picture window can be replaced with a bow.  A popular choice we are seeing are gliders – windows that slide from side to side – as a replacement for casements.  Besides windows, Infinity from Marvin also offers sliding patio doors in a French or Contemporary style, from 5 ft., 6 ft., or 8 ft.

Color is another element you want to consider to complement your home’s exterior.  With Infinity, you can choose from multiple color choices.  Interior color options include white and Sierra but what appeals to many discerning homeowners is the EverWood finish, a stainable product which can be custom stained, just like wood, to match your interior existing molding.  EverWood provides the rich appearance of wood; does not absorb moisture and will not decay for years of lasting beauty.  Six colors are available on the exterior.

Further customizing the look of your windows are the choices of grids between the glass or simulated divided lite windows with prairie style, colonial, and cottage-style designs.  Hardware finish options are just as customized and include white, satin taupe, brass, satin nickel, and oil rubbed bronze.

When you invest in replacement windows, you want those windows to last.  We recommend fiberglass because it is the most durable and energy efficient of all the window materials available.  You won’t have the concern of rot, mildew, or mold that plague wood windows.  Our standard insulated glass contains Low-E 366 with an argon fill, which is a high-efficiency glass package to alleviate fading, keep solar heat from coming through, and keep your home’s interior warmer in winter and cooler in summer.  The superior strength of Infinity Fiberglass Replacement Windows from Marvin also allows for a narrower window frame and more glass area than vinyl replacement windows, providing more daylight and better views.

The key to window replacement is the expertise of the installers.  At Callen, we measure the windows twice; once when the product specialist measures for the selling costs, and a second time by the project manager who measures for a precise fit.  All our installers are employees of Callen.  The installers work exclusively with windows – they don’t get involved with siding.

Callen is a factory-trained Marvin retailer and registers your purchase with Marvin for a Limited Lifetime Warranty, meaning your Infinity window and other non-glass components will be free from manufacturer defects for as long as you own your home.  Also, Callen’s lifetime Total Owner Protection (TOP) program means that if your product fails to perform due to improper installation, Callen will fix the problem for free.

If you are thinking of window replacement, now is a good time to do it.  Callen is running a savings sale until December 15 – buy five windows and get the sixth window free.  That includes the window and the labor!
