Three Leading Window Brands for Commercial Construction Projects
When you’re a contractor giving it your all for your client, every material you use in the commercial construction process must be top-notch. Siding, roofing, you name it—but arguably one of the most important things to get right are the build’s windows. Not only do they play a critical role in creating that perfect interior ambiance, but they also affect the architecture of the outside. Combined with their role in an airtight building envelope and an energy-efficient structure, it’s plain to see that they deserve quite a bit of focus.
KBS Companies, as providers of new construction windows and a construction company ourselves, is happy to share what we know about this critical building component. Below, we’ll dive into three of our favorite window brands—their applications, histories, strengths, and styles, as well as what makes them stand out from the competition.
Andersen Windows
Arguably one of the most well-known brands among post-market consumers, Andersen Windows is a brand that certainly has made its mark, both through its advertising campaigns and its phenomenal products. Being headquartered in Minnesota, according to the brand’s official website, it has been in business since the early 1900s, giving it more than a century to perfect its windows—and perfect them it has.
From focusing on impact-related solutions to energy efficiency and style, Andersen brings a fine-tuned something to the table for everyone. Through strenuous testing, they ensure their products are reliable and tough—fit for the busy, chaotic workflow that goes on in modern commercial businesses. Top that off with eight separate categories of new construction windows for sale and both you and your architect are bound to find what you need in this brand.
Andersen Windows is a proud industry leader and steward of the environment; this is a brand we are proud to partner with, and you will be too.
Marvin
Don’t let the simple name fool you; these windows are the real deal. Driven by the desire to “imagine and create better ways of living,” according to the brand’s website, Marvin has a unique way of looking at the products that they sell. It’s not simply about letting light into a space, according to them. As more and more of modern life moves indoors, they view their role as having a direct and salient effect on the possibilities that take place within four walls.
This line of thinking has led to quite the array of innovative products, from skylights that “bring fresh air more thoughtfully indoors” to versatile and stylish premium round-top new construction windows.
If you’re building for a business that seeks to improve employee well-being with its new design, Marvin has just the windows you need to achieve that goal. Its thoughtful designs and people-focused purpose make it an obvious choice. These windows are available at a variety of price points, so no matter your budget, there’s something that’s a perfect fit for you client.
Marvin isn’t just good looks, though; it’s a brand that values ethical behavior. From its commitment to sustainability to its devotion to the communities it serves, it’s a company that goes above and beyond in terms of social responsibility. You can feel good about supporting a company that strives to do the right thing.
Hayfield Window & Door Company
Sassy styles and durability for miles: that’s what you’ll get out of Hayfield Window & Door Company! With its painted vinyl frames that come in a variety of trendy shapes—parallelograms, anyone?—you’ll be sure to wow your customer, and they’ll be sure to wow theirs. Built specifically to stand up to harsh Midwestern winter conditions, they’ll carry your clients through season after season without failure. In fact, Hayfield windows and doors come with a twenty-year limited lifetime warranty, per the brand’s official website.
They’re also made with energy efficiency in mind, helping you meet standards set by that client for the build’s success. Incidentally, the brand has a long history of setting standards and innovating. It came out with spill-proof window sills in the 1990s and easy-install jamb kits in 2016. They’ve revolutionized their methods when it comes to producing vinyl in the same year to better align with its sustainable values; Hayfield is indeed a brand that’s constantly striving to be better.
