Full Lifetime Warranty

At Milgard, we build our windows and doors to last. With the
dedication to quality that we put into building the best windows in
the business, it wouldn’t make sense to back them with anything but
the best warranty in the business. That’s why we back every properly
installed window and door for as long as the homeowner owns their
home–including parts and labor. It’s why you can be sure you won’t
find any windows better than Milgard.
For complete warranty details, visit milgard.com.
Why Milgard?
Milgard is one of the largest and most trusted names in windows and doors. For the last 50 years, we’ve
demonstrated our commitment to innovation, quality and service.
While our coverage is extensive, our service is local. Milgard has multiple locations throughout the Western
U.S. and Western Canada. Our belief is that by being close to our customers, we can provide them better
service. This means faster lead and delivery time, as well as faster response to any warranty situations. We’re
there for you long after the job has been completed. Milgard also has a comprehensive network of qualified
dealers and offers some of the best training in the industry.
Awards give you added assurances and Milgard has been named “Best Quality in the Nation” eight times and
the nation’s “Most Used Vinyl Window” four times by Builder magazine. Both Professional Remodeler and
Professional Builder magazines have named us “Most Preferred Vinyl Window” three times.

INSTALLATION
All 450 Series Doors are factory sized to fit into

a framed opening, whether new or created by
removing an existing door. Doors will be 1/2”
smaller than the framed (rough) opening to allow
1/2” clearance on header and 1/4” clearance on
jambs. Built to rough opening size with 1/2“
deductions automatically made, no complex
calculations are required for ordering. Opening
panels must be closed and locked during
installation. Doors must be installed level, plumb
and square with 1/4“ clearance on the sides with
weep holes at the bottom.
HEADERS MUST NOT BE NAILED
Nail through fin into framing along sides. At the

head, casing nails may be placed 1/2” above fin and
bent down over fin, to allow for header deflection.
Wood Sill: Caulk entire sill length before setting
door.
CONCRETE/MORTAR
Install as with wood sill, except use heavy building

paper or redwood barrier between door frame and
concrete to prevent corrosion. Caulk both sides of
barrier for weather tight performance.
CAUTION: The use of petroleum based fuels or solvents as release
agents in stucco wall installations or glass cleaning will chemically attack
materials used in seals and other components, and voids the Milgard Full
Lifetime Warranty. The use of wax based release agents is recommended.
Expanding foam for insulation purposes should not be used. Non-
expanding foam or loose packed batt insulation is recommended.
