The windows in your home not only add natural light and architectural style, they play a substantial role in the energy efficient performance of your home. Parr’s window specialists work closely with architects, contractors, and homeowners, offering advice on the best products and styles to fit any need you may have.
Vinyl Windows
From residential to commercial use, vinyl windows have been engineered, refined, and tested for decades to perform in the most adverse conditions. Constructed with polyvinyl chloride frames, the common styles include single-hung, double-hung, sliding, casement, awning, and fixed.
Additional design options include hardware finishes, frame colors, and grid designs. Glazing options are also available to further increase energy efficiency and added protection from damaging ultraviolet rays.

Fiberglass and Composite Windows
Fiberglass and composite windows are similar to wood in many ways. One of the biggest differences is affordability. Fiberglass and composite products are priced competitively yet still offer many of the features found in high-end wood offerings.
Fiberglass as a frame material is an excellent choice. The expansion and contraction rate of fiberglass is nearly the same as the glass unit seated inside it, so the opportunity for seal failure is minimized.
Why choose fiberglass or composite windows?
- Low maintenance
- Energy efficient
- Stable frame materials
- Variety of glazing options available
Brands promoted by Parr include:
- Integrity by Marvin
- Andersen 100 series
- Milgard
