Worry-free. Hassle-free.

Superior strength, inside and out

Harsh weather? Everyday wear and tear? Essential has you covered. Every window and door in the Essential collection has interiors and exteriors made from our proprietary fiberglass. It’s eight times stronger than vinyl and three times stronger than vinyl and wood composites, made to endure even the harshest elements.

Designed to last

We designed the Essential collection for long-term durability and hassle-free reliability. Requiring virtually no maintenance, our proprietary fiberglass outlasts and outperforms vinyl, remaining strong and true at even the most extreme temperatures to maintain seals and keep out wind and rain. And our proprietary finish is three times thicker than that of our competitors, resisting scratches, chalking, and fading for performance that stands the test of time.

Ready for the elements. Designed for low maintenance.

Made from the best to weather the worst

It’s not just about maintaining beauty—it’s about maintaining peace of mind. Elevate windows and doors are designed to protect your home from the elements: rain, snow, and shine. Our proprietary fiberglass outlasts and outperforms vinyl windows by 38% and remains strong and true at even the most extreme temperatures.
