Traco Windows went out of business in 2008 – at least from the residential side of things. The company sold their commercial manufacturing arm to Kawneer, a large building and development company. How do we know this? Because if you google Traco Windows, you bounce to the Kawneer website. Browse below to check out all of our Traco windows reviews.
If you did buy Traco Windows prior to 2008 and they are starting to fail, you will not be able to get any warranty relief. However, the company dissolved under bankruptcy law and the assets essentially sold off. You could find a window repair person to service the windows by using a service like yelp.
Company Rating: 6.5 out of 10
Price Point: 7.5 out of 10
Bottom Line: Traco is out of business so getting a bid is going to be darn near impossible 🙂

Traco Windows Reviews
There are very few consumer opinions on Traco due to the fact that Traco is, for the most part, a commercial manufacturer. Traco is one of the divisions of Kawneer, which is owned by Alcoa. Confused? Don’t worry because if you are a homeowner, you will probably not be contemplating Traco windows in your home anyway.
Traco windows are sold almost exclusively to developers and builders in the construction and commercial markets. However, in 2010, the company was purchased by Alcoa, which wanted a window manufacturer as part of Kawneer North America, which offers energy efficient building products to the commercial building industry.

History Of Traco
Traco began in 1943 and was originally known as the Three Rivers Aluminum Company. They made aluminum frame windows and doors with an emphasis on glass tempering and insulation.

Prior to their purchase, Traco sold their windows and doors to be the commercial and residential markets. They also produced skylight windows, sunrooms, patio rooms and folding glass walls using composite, thermal aluminum and vinyl materials.
