Side by side
Anlin

Milgard
Washington-founded maker of vinyl, fiberglass and aluminum windows. Tuscany and Trinsic vinyl lines and Ultra fiberglass. Widely available through Albuquerque suppliers.
How to choose
- Want the most robust vinyl frame? Look closely at Anlin.
- Want vinyl and fiberglass options from one brand? Milgard.
- Comparing warranties? Read both — they cover different things.
- Lead times and service can differ by supplier, so ask for current timing.
Glass matters more than the name
For Albuquerque, compare the U-factor and SHGC on each window's label. A premium frame with ordinary glass can underperform a mid-range frame with the right low-E. See low-E glass for New Mexico.
