There are lots of reasons to replace your windows. Let’s start with aesthetics.
Window technology has come a long way since folks first began to install glass in their walls so they could see the light. Today, selecting the right windows isn’t just about function and form. Technology has improved such that we can select extremely high-quality windows that will also beautify your home in every way. Today, you can select from a variety of window styles so wide, it’s nearly limitless. Stock or custom sizes and configurations, decorative grids, and many options for interior and exterior frame colors – each will add its own element of charm to your home. Your imagination is your only boundary with what you can do – and what we can help you do – with windows.
Architecturally, your windows are your home’s focal point. The eye naturally draws to the décor in the solid walls and from the outside, that’s the windows. Whether double-hung, slider, or bay, that choice makes a difference in your home’s exterior aesthetic. The eye views all windows on at least one side of the house together, so your window selections matter to the overall appeal of your home from the outside.

Safety and security are also reasons to think about new windows.
The great city of Temple, Texas is pretty safe for the most part, but not without its occasional burglaries.
With today’s technology in window security, there’s no excuse for an intruder entering your home by unlocking a window or patio slider. The windows we carry all offer high levels of security from break-ins with high-quality closures and secure latches.
We care about quality, and we care about the safety and security of our loyal customers.
Whether or not your home is cozy has a lot to do with your windows.
The concept of coziness isn’t easy to define, but we know it when we feel it. Ugly windows in an otherwise beautiful room can make all the difference in whether or not we feel cozy in that space. So, how the windows look on the interior matters to how the room feels.
Quite possibly the biggest factor in making a room not cozy is its draftiness. No one likes to sit next to a window that’s so drafty you can literally hear the breeze whistling through the window seal.
We don’t want cold air rushing in on us in the winter and giving us a sudden chill or hot air disturbing our peace in the summer. Plus, we are wasting a ton of money on heating and cooling the air that’s just blowing outside – typical homes lose more than a quarter of their heat just out the window. At the same time, this draftiness makes our HVAC systems work extra hard to keep up with the demands that drafty windows bring. So, we’re consuming a heck of a lot more electricity than we need to and we’re wearing out our HVAC systems, all because we really could use new windows.
There are no drafts with windows from Univeral Windows Direct.
Our windows are state of the art in window technology.
No Drafts in Our Air Filtration Windows
The seal in our air filtration windows is airtight, thanks to the polyurethane foam fill in their design. This creates a tighter and less permeable seal, keeping both wind and rain on the outside where they belong.
Our windows are as much as 23 times more airtight than the average wood-framed window. That’s like stacking 23 wood-framed windows together and the amount of air that escapes through that maze is the same amount that escapes through just one of our premium windows. Comparisons of our air filtration windows against standard vinyl windows show our windows are as much as 15 times more airtight in our premium models, and at least twice as airtight as our competition in our starter models. With these statistics, our window air infiltration ratings and window air leakage ratings are among the highest in the industry. If it’s important to you to buy air infiltration rated windows, look no further.
We Carry Double-Pane and Triple-Pane Windows
More is better, right?
Our double-pane windows bring excellent energy efficiency. If you want to maximize the energy efficiency of your windows, consider our triple-pane windows. The triple-pane vinyl windows we carry have earned some of the highest ratings in the industry because they are about the best triple-pane windows available. We source them from the best triple-pane window manufacturers and have them tailored to the specific needs of your home.
Our triple-pane windows aren’t just any triple-pane windows. There are reasons why ours are the best rated triple-pane windows. Our windows have three panes of glass, two Low-E (low-emissivity) coatings, krypton or argon gas between the panes, and a sealing spacer that creates an impermeable metal barrier resistant to condensation and improving durability. The result will be lower energy consumption and a more comfortable, draft-free home. The special combination of these materials will be tailored to your needs and ordered from our triple-pane window manufacturers according to your specifications. We really do offer the best triple-pane windows around, and our triple-pane windows manufacturers are standing by ready to fill your custom order.
