Our Window Services in Vancouver, WA
Low-E Energy-Efficient Windows
Washington's energy code prints exactly one performance number for a window, and it is U-factor. Table R402.1.3 sets it at 0.30 for vertical fenestration here and then leaves the solar heat gain column empty.
Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl is the unit that pays for the rest of the house. A welded uPVC frame with foam-filled chambers commonly certifies between 0.26 and 0.28 whole-product, under the 0.30 the code asks for, and every hundredth below the limit is budget you get to spend somewhere harder.
Fiberglass Replacement Windows
The honest opening on fiberglass is this: it will not usually buy you a better code number than good vinyl. Both land in the mid to high twenties on whole-product U-factor.
Wood and Clad-Wood Windows
Clad-wood is the one category in Southwest Washington where the failure is almost always in the same place, and it is not the glass. It is the bottom of the frame, where the cladding leg meets the sill and where water is being asked to leave.
Aluminum Windows and Frames
On this page we are going to talk you out of something, which is not a thing most window companies put in writing. For a heated room in Clark County, aluminum is the wrong residential replacement frame, and the reason is arithmetic rather than taste.
Double-Hung and Single-Hung Windows
A double-hung has two sashes, two balance pockets and a meeting rail sitting in the middle of the glass. Every one of those is a place where air gets through, and it is why the type usually tests worst of the operables on both numbers the code cares about.
Casement and Awning Windows
The casement is the default operable window for this climate, and the reason is mechanical. It does not slide past a seal, it clamps onto one.
Horizontal Sliding Windows
A horizontal slider is a compromise product and we would rather say so out loud. It seals with brush pile riding against a track instead of clamping onto a gasket, so it does not test as tight as a casement and will not carry your job average.
Bay and Bow Windows
A bay or a bow is the worst-performing assembly you can put into a wall, and the most useful thing we can say about one has almost nothing to do with the window itself. It is about when you buy it.
Picture and Architectural Windows
The fixed lite is the most under-used product in a Vancouver window job, and that is because people think of it as the window you settle for. On this side of the river it is the window that pays for the others.
Egress and Basement Windows
Egress is a life-safety requirement and it does not live in the energy code at all. It lives in Section R310 of the residential code, and the numbers there are not negotiable by anybody, including us.
Impact and Laminated Glass Windows
Clark County is not a wind-borne debris region, and that one fact should reframe this entire product for you. Nobody here needs an impact window for storm protection, and anyone selling it that way is selling a Florida answer to a Washington question.
Sliding Patio Doors
The folklore says a slider leaks and a French door seals tight. The Washington energy code says something close to the opposite, and unlike the folklore it is holding an accredited laboratory test report in its hand while it says so.
French and Swinging Patio Doors
Buy a French door for what it does to a room, not for what it does to a number. The code gives it a looser air leakage allowance than a slider, which means the manufacturer has to earn less, which means you have to specify more.
Entry and Front Doors
The amount of glass in your front door decides which code table it gets rated from, and that decides whether the door helps your job or quietly damages it. Almost nobody is told this before they choose one.
Window Screens and Screen Doors
Screens are the one part of this job the energy code has no opinion about, and that is genuinely useful rather than a throwaway line. A screen is not fenestration, it is not rated, and it sits outside the NFRC test that produces your U-factor.
Glass Repair and Sealed Unit Replacement
This is the page where we try to save you the job. If the frame and the hardware are sound and only the sealed unit has failed, replacing the glass alone is cheaper, faster and keeps you out of the replacement fenestration rules altogether.
Commercial Storefront and Curtain Wall
Commercial work is a different code book and it is worth saying so before anything else. Your building falls under the Washington State Energy Code commercial provisions, chapter 51-11C WAC, not the residential chapter that governs the house down the street, and the compliance paths are not interchangeable.
What each of our services covers in Vancouver
Open any service to see exactly what is included before you call.
Low-E Energy-Efficient Windows
Washington's energy code prints exactly one performance number for a window, and it is U-factor. Table R402.1.3 sets it at 0.30 for vertical fenestration here and then leaves the solar heat gain column empty. That blank space should change what you buy.
- energy efficient windows
- low-e glass windows
- U-factor 0.30 windows
- argon filled windows
- double pane replacement windows

- NFRC rated windows
- triple pane windows

- energy efficient windows Clark County
- low emissivity coating
- window energy rating
Vinyl Replacement Windows
Vinyl is the unit that pays for the rest of the house. A welded uPVC frame with foam-filled chambers commonly certifies between 0.26 and 0.28 whole-product, under the 0.30 the code asks for, and every hundredth below the limit is budget you get to spend somewhere harder. That is less a compliment to vinyl than a description of what the material happens to be good at.

Fiberglass Replacement Windows
The honest opening on fiberglass is this: it will not usually buy you a better code number than good vinyl. Both land in the mid to high twenties on whole-product U-factor. If your only reason is Table R402.1.3, buy vinyl and keep the difference.

Wood and Clad-Wood Windows
Clad-wood is the one category in Southwest Washington where the failure is almost always in the same place, and it is not the glass. It is the bottom of the frame, where the cladding leg meets the sill and where water is being asked to leave. The cladding is not a thermal element and it is a mistake to treat it as one.

Aluminum Windows and Frames
On this page we are going to talk you out of something, which is not a thing most window companies put in writing. For a heated room in Clark County, aluminum is the wrong residential replacement frame, and the reason is arithmetic rather than taste. Aluminum conducts heat on the order of a thousand times better than vinyl does.

- aluminum window repair

- metal window frames
- aluminum windows Clark County
- aluminum window U-factor

- aluminum window sills
- aluminum awning windows
- aluminum window glazing
- aluminum curtain wall
Double-Hung and Single-Hung Windows
A double-hung has two sashes, two balance pockets and a meeting rail sitting in the middle of the glass. Every one of those is a place where air gets through, and it is why the type usually tests worst of the operables on both numbers the code cares about. Section R402.4.2 caps fenestration air leakage at 0.3 cfm per square foot, tested under NFRC 400 or the joint AAMA, WDMA and CSA standard and labelled by the manufacturer.

- meeting rail windows
- double hung window screens
- double hung window installation
- sash window replacement
Casement and Awning Windows
The casement is the default operable window for this climate, and the reason is mechanical. It does not slide past a seal, it clamps onto one. That difference shows up in the air leakage figure, in the U-factor and in how the window behaves after fifteen wet winters.
- casement windows

- awning windows over doors
- casement window screens
- multipoint lock casement
Horizontal Sliding Windows
A horizontal slider is a compromise product and we would rather say so out loud. It seals with brush pile riding against a track instead of clamping onto a gasket, so it does not test as tight as a casement and will not carry your job average.
That said, the code holds it to exactly the same 0.3 cfm per square foot limit as every other window under Section R402.4.2, and a modern slider from a real manufacturer meets that limit without drama.

Bay and Bow Windows
A bay or a bow is the worst-performing assembly you can put into a wall, and the most useful thing we can say about one has almost nothing to do with the window itself. It is about when you buy it. Consider what a bay actually is.

- bow window five lite
- bay window flashing
Picture and Architectural Windows
The fixed lite is the most under-used product in a Vancouver window job, and that is because people think of it as the window you settle for. On this side of the river it is the window that pays for the others. The reason is structural.

- oversized windows
- custom shape windows

- clerestory windows
- fixed window U-factor
Egress and Basement Windows
Egress is a life-safety requirement and it does not live in the energy code at all. It lives in Section R310 of the residential code, and the numbers there are not negotiable by anybody, including us. Every sleeping room needs one, and a basement holding bedrooms needs one per room.

Impact and Laminated Glass Windows
Clark County is not a wind-borne debris region, and that one fact should reframe this entire product for you. Nobody here needs an impact window for storm protection, and anyone selling it that way is selling a Florida answer to a Washington question. The code is explicit about where the relief actually applies.

- UV blocking laminated glass

Sliding Patio Doors
The folklore says a slider leaks and a French door seals tight. The Washington energy code says something close to the opposite, and unlike the folklore it is holding an accredited laboratory test report in its hand while it says so. Section R402.4.2 gives windows, skylights and sliding glass doors an air infiltration limit of 0.3 cfm per square foot.

French and Swinging Patio Doors
Buy a French door for what it does to a room, not for what it does to a number. The code gives it a looser air leakage allowance than a slider, which means the manufacturer has to earn less, which means you have to specify more. The figures sit in Section R402.4.2.

Entry and Front Doors
The amount of glass in your front door decides which code table it gets rated from, and that decides whether the door helps your job or quietly damages it. Almost nobody is told this before they choose one. Table R303.1.3(2) covers opaque doors.
- entry doors

- front door with sidelites
- full lite entry door
- insulated entry door

- door slab replacement
- entry door threshold
- security entry door
- entry door U-factor
Window Screens and Screen Doors
Screens are the one part of this job the energy code has no opinion about, and that is genuinely useful rather than a throwaway line. A screen is not fenestration, it is not rated, and it sits outside the NFRC test that produces your U-factor. So you get to buy a screen for how long it lasts and how it works, which is a refreshing change from the rest of the estimate.

- screen rescreening
- screen frame replacement
Glass Repair and Sealed Unit Replacement
This is the page where we try to save you the job. If the frame and the hardware are sound and only the sealed unit has failed, replacing the glass alone is cheaper, faster and keeps you out of the replacement fenestration rules altogether. The distinction sits in the code text itself.

- IGU replacement
- glass repair Clark County
- double pane glass replacement
- window seal failure
- tempered glass replacement
- condensation between panes
- glass only replacement
- emergency board up
- single pane glass repair
- spacer date code
Commercial Storefront and Curtain Wall
Commercial work is a different code book and it is worth saying so before anything else. Your building falls under the Washington State Energy Code commercial provisions, chapter 51-11C WAC, not the residential chapter that governs the house down the street, and the compliance paths are not interchangeable. That difference is also where aluminum stops being the wrong answer and becomes the right one.

What Vancouver property owners ask us
Which window services does Vancouver Window Replacement handle?
Everything listed on this page, residential and commercial, across Vancouver and Southwest Washington. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.
Can I combine more than one service in a single job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling window work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.
Do you give free estimates for every service?
Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
What Vancouver Customers Say
They talked us out of the upgrade glass package. Showed us the table, showed us that Washington sets no solar heat gain number for windows, and put the money into the spacer and the frames instead. The quote had the whole-house average on it in writing.
We wanted the bay done first and everything else next year. They explained that on its own it would not make the number, and suggested we wait six months and do the lot together. Cost us nothing to wait and it passed without an argument.
Two units fogged over the winter and I was braced for a whole-house quote. Instead they checked the spacer codes, worked out the rest were eight years newer, and reglazed just those two. Half a day, and a fraction of the other bid.
The east wall takes the Gorge wind and the old sliders leaked at the track. New sill pan, proper weeps, and they showed me the air infiltration figure on the label before it went in. No draught this winter.
