CertainTeed windows are now being manufactured by MI Windows And Doors. This is a big change from their previous system of using fabricators, which caused lots of inconsistencies in the overall quality of their products. For unbiased opinions of this company’s products, see our page on Certainteed windows review.
Basics Of Certainteed Windows
Certainteed is owned by a French company, but in the U.S they extruded their own vinyl and sold the extrusions to independently owned companies called fabricators. Recently (2011), CertainTeed announced that MI Windows And Doors would be manufacturing all of the window lines. Time will tell if this will improve the quality of their products and series. Prior to this change, many installers and industry insiders felt there was little consistency to the quality being produced. The reason for this was that each fabricator was independently owned and could choose to produce high quality or mediocre quality products even though they all carried the CertainTeed name.
