Why choose Thermal Windows?

Thermal is one of the top window manufacturers in America. Our products are made in Tulsa and shipped throughout the United States. As a local customer, you benefit from our nearby location, our impeccable quality and factory warranty backed by our own trained technicians. When you do business with Thermal Windows, your money stays in Oklahoma.

Which is better: Vinyl or Thermal-barrier Aluminum?

Thermal Windows, Inc. manufactures both types of windows. Vinyl windows insulate very well, and they are economical to manufacture. Therefore, they are usually the least-expensive windows. Our aluminum windows are manufactured from close-tolerance aluminum extrusions. They have lower air leakage than most vinyl windows, and the metal extrusions are much stronger than vinyl. In addition, they have a higher resistance to heat. Click here to learn more about thermal barriers.

Do windows cause condensation?

Condensation usually appears in cold weather on the glass and/or frames of windows and sliding glass doors. While you might be tempted to blame the windows, you shouldn't. The condensation is the result of excess humidity in your home. The glass only provides a visible cold surface on which humidity can condense. The important thing is to reduce indoor humidity before it causes hidden, costly problems elsewhere in your home.
