Sierra Pacific Window and Door Costs
While materials and options determine cost, Sierra Pacific has a variety of windows and doors that can meet the needs of most homes and budgets.
Vinyl Windows or Fiberglass Windows – GOOD
Vinyl windows are a cost-effective choice and require less maintenance than all wood windows against rot or wear. While they have a shorter lifespan than all-wood or wood-clad, they are still popular. One downside to vinyl frames is they have limited color options unless a painted vinyl product is specified.

All Wood Windows – BETTER
All-wood frames are a high-quality product sourced, processed, and formed from American trees. This window type is best suited for historic homes to fit the aesthetic and “breathe” with the older construction type. Wood is a great insulator and if properly maintained, can last indefinitely.

Wood Clad Windows – BEST
Wood-clad windows offer the benefits of wood on the inside (such as customization, durability, and increased energy efficiency), but the low-maintenance aluminum jacket on the exterior helps prevent rotting, warping, peeling, and bending that can occur with low-quality, poorly maintained all-wood or vinyl windows.

Popular Types of Windows Available at Toulmin Windows and Doors
Windows can define a room’s shape, provide an architectural focal point, allow fresh air, and provide an emergency escape. Windows are made in many styles and types, and each functions differently.
To understand which options are best for your home, check out the information below on the most popular types of windows we carry at Toulmin Windows & Doors.
DOUBLE HUNG WINDOWS
Modern engineering and construction give our classic single & double hung window designs thoroughly updated efficiency and performance.
CASEMENT WINDOWS
Casement windows are the perfect choice for top-to-bottom, unobstructed views and wide-open ventilation. Use them alone or in combination with other window types and shapes. Their smooth action and ability to complement any architectural style will make them one of your favorites.
SLIDER WINDOWS
For areas that need to be kept clear of open windows or to simply accommodate their elegant lines and smooth operation features, our space-saving horizontal sliders offer a more contemporary look than a traditional double-hung window.
BI-FOLD WINDOWS
Transform your living space and invite the outdoors in with multiple glass panels that glide smoothly and stack neatly against the wall, creating openings up to 23 feet wide.
MULTI-SLIDE WINDOWS
Merge your great room with the great outdoors with multi-slide windows. Thanks to ingenious engineering, the panels of our multi-slide window can slide in one direction or both directions. They can stack on the sides or even slide completely into a pocket on your wall. And, they can turn a 90-degree corner into a stunning opening.

Vinyl Windows vs. Wood Clad Windows
At Toulmin Windows & Doors, we only use the highest quality windows. We carry a variety of low-maintenance, energy-efficient window options that can be customized for your home and your budget.
Different Window Materials, Different Window Aesthetics
The window frame materials that perform the best through all seasons are vinyl, all-wood, and wood-clad.
ALL-WOOD FRAME WINDOWS
All-wood frames are a high-quality product sourced, processed, and formed from American trees. This window type is best suited for historic homes to fit the aesthetic and “breathe” with the older construction type. Wood is a great insulator and if properly maintained, can last indefinitely.
WOOD-CLAD FRAME WINDOWS
Wood-clad windows offer the benefits of wood on the inside (such as customization, durability, and increased energy efficiency), while the low-maintenance aluminum jacket or vinyl on the exterior helps prevent rotting, warping, peeling, and bending that can often occur with low-quality, poorly maintained all-wood frames.
VINYL FRAME WINDOWS
Vinyl windows are a cost-effective, low-maintenance choice that lasts for decades, though they have a slightly shorter lifespan than all-wood or wood-clad windows. One downside is that vinyl frames are difficult to paint, so their color remains permanent even if you repaint your home's exterior.
