Hurd windows was a smaller manufacturer that was known primarily for selling wood clad windows. The company was based out of Medford Wisconsin, although they had distributors throughout the United States. For the most part, Hurd was a high end manufacturer, meaning that a large majority of their windows went into high end custom homes. Many of these high end contractors loved the windows and doors for their great look and finishes. However, there were issues with the window and door units, specially wood rot and leaking over time. Hurd filed for bankruptcy in 2008.

Reputation Of Hurd Windows
Hurd had a mixed reputation from the perspective of contractors and homeowners due to a wood rot issue in the 1990s that affected a number of wood window manufacturers. In addition, the company was purchased in the late 2000s and the “new Hurd” essentially was not required to service any past warranty claims. While this was completely legal, it certainly angered anyone who purchased expensive wood clad windows and eventually had a problem, but no real recourse. In 2014, the restructured Hurd was purchased by Sierra Pacific Industries, which is a company headquartered in Andersen, Ca.
