WINDOWS:

Windows are one of the most important design aspects of any building.  Selecting the correct style, type, and function of a window is critical.

At Tashman’s we sell many types of windows to fit you needs.  We sell wood, vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass, and clad type windows.  Each window offers unique and special benefits. 
Whether it is price, quality, design, or function, we will try to sell you what is best for you and your project -  not what is best for our profits.  Many window companies use pressure tactics to sell windows.  Hard selling is not the right way to sell windows.  Free installation is not free.  The cost is somewhere in the price of the window.   50% off a window that is marked up 500% is still 150% more that the normal price.  So the gimmick in windows is to price the windows so high that you think you are getting a deal you need to make immediately.  The window costs what it costs.  The dealer needs to make a profit and the installer needs to get paid. Nothing is free, so do not expect to get free installation.

Our philosophy is to offer you high quality products, excellent installation services, and a reliable, honest company that will be here for years to come to service your future needs.

ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS:

Energy efficiency is major reason people change their windows today.
What is important in energy efficient windows?
In southern california, the demands on windows are different than in other parts of the country.  Dual glazed glass is very common in most windows today.  A dual glazed window is two layers of glass separated by a spacer of aluminum. The air space in between the glass acts as an insulator, which reduces the heat loss or gain.
The most important aspect is the glass itself.

WOOD WINDOWS:

We offer wood windows manufactured by Vent Vue Mfg of Los Angeles and Karls Custom Sash of Huntington Beach.
We can make and install almost any type of window you need.  Most all of our wood window jobs are restorations of old existing windows or replacing existing windows that need be updated to match the architecture of the home.  We restore double hungs, swing in casements, sliders, and awning windows all the time.  We have access to all types of hardware to accent your window installation.  We offer priming and painting of new installations to make sure the windows are protected and will not warp.
Many people want the look of wood, but want the newer energy efficient glass that keeps their homes warmer in the winter or cooler in the summer.  Tashman’s can replicate their existing windows so they will have the new glass, but still keep the old look.

VINYL WINDOWS:

There are many manufacturers of Vinyl Widnows.  At Tashman’s we carry several lines of windows. Milgard, International, Superior, and Emprire are our current lines. Each offers different solutions for your window needs.

Vinyl windows offer many great features.  One of the best features is that they require little to no maintenance. Vinyl windows do not need to be painted and they do not swell or warp.  Just a gentle yearly washing, some lubrication of the wheels, and cleaning of the tracks is all that is required.
What are the variations of vinyl windows?

Frame thickness, locks, functions, glass, decorative trim, and grids are all considerations of the design.  Company reputation, craftsmanship, warranty, and location are other important factors in determining the window you should buy.

All of the windows we sell are locally manufactured.  The companies have been in business for a long time and are well known in the region.  Their service departments are reliable and close enough that they will be able to handle your needs in weeks - not months.

FIBERGLASS WINDOWS:

Milgard windows has developed a window made from fiberglass that is extremely durable and offers many of the features of a wood window.  The “ultra” and “wood clad” lines come in almost any configuration of window design.  The exteriors come in several colors, with a lifetime warranty against any peeling and color discoloration.

This maintence free advantage is key.  Painting every 3-5 years is costly. If you can avoid this constant cost by paying for it once at the beginning of the window’s life, then you can save for years to come.

Fiberglass windows are more expensive than vinyl or aluminum or even wood windows, but the long term cost and esthetics benefits are the key reasons we like this product for clients who are planning for the long term use of the window.

ALUMINUM WINDOWS:

Aluminum windows offer a low cost alternative for many people who want energy efficiency and low cost. 
Aluminum windows also offer a design element that looks more contemporary than wood or vinyl windows.  The narrow sight lines and maximum glass spans, make aluminum windows great for locations that have spectacular views and narrow openings. 

We offer windows from international window corp, Milgard windows, and fleetwood window manufacturers.  We also sell commercial application windows from california doors and storefront and arcadia window and door manufacturers.  This wide selection of window companies allows our customers a great selection to meet their design requirements.

SOUND PROOF WINDOWS:

Tashman’s offer many different ways to reduce the noise coming through your windows.
Quiet windows (with laminated glass) offer a simple way of reducing noise without having to replace your current exterior window.  Quiet windows are secondary windows installed on the inside of the existing windows frame.
 these windows are ideal for condominiums and apartment house applications where it may be difficult or cost prohibitive to change all the windows.
 quiet windows are installed inside the existing window sill of sliding or casement windows.  If you have double hung style windows, then you can have an additional frame built out on top of the wall surrounding the window to allow for installation of the quiet window.

We can also add laminated glass to almost any new wood, vinyl, or aluminum window application if you want to change the old window out.  The advantage of this is that the sound proofing feature is incorporated into the current window.
