Amsco Windows specializes in making quality vinyl and composite windows and doors for the home. The company prides itself on valuing customer feedback and creating sturdy, attractive, environmentally friendly windows. Amsco products have been featured on ABC News, and they meet NFRC thermal performance standards, AAMA structural standards, and Energy Star rating.
Amsco has a variety of options for both windows and doors. These options include varieties in style, frame size, materials, hardware, grid, colors, glass options, resin composite, and insulation. This allows the homeowner to decide which aspects are most important for their needs and then choose according to budget.
Amsco’s windows qualify for several certifications, including NFRC thermal performance standards, AAMA structural standards, and the Energy Star rating. By qualifying for the NFRC thermal performance standard, Amsco’s windows meet or exceed thermal standards for maximum energy efficiency, cutting heat and cooling costs, and reducing greenhouse emissions. By qualifying for the AAMA structural standards, Amsco’s windows meet or exceed structural performance standards that include tests on air filtration, water leakage, forced entry, wind load pressure, heat resistance and weather-ability. By qualifying for the Energy Star rating, Amsco’s windows meet the guidelines set by the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy.
While there is a lifetime warranty on Amsco windows, it does come with a catch. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear; screens; color change; loss of functionality because of hardware corrosion (except stainless steel hardware); glass breakage; failure due to misuse, abuse, or accident; and vibration or rattling of grid bares inside the insulated glass. Additionally, the lifetime warranty only applies in certain instances: the warranty remains in force only as long as the client who lived in the home at the time of installation still lives there. If the client sells the residence, the warranty expires five years from the time the windows were originally installed. So essentially, any defects beyond Amsco’s control are not covered.
Amsco provides no information on its website regarding pricing or installation fees. The company may have chosen to not share their pricing because it depends so heavily on a buyer’s choices of grid options, hardware, glass options, styles, and color options, but it does show a lack of transparency.
Amsco provides competitive quality windows for homeowners and businesses, and we applaud Amsco for how many options are provided to customers. However, we worry about the lack of transparency on the company’s site regarding prices. Before choosing Amsco, make sure to verify pricing and determine whether you anticipate needing a warranty.
