Many windows do not have steel reinforcing which adds security to your home. Small windows do not need reinfocing, however any window frame over 2 feet should have steel reinforcing for added strength and security. Vinyltek Windows installed by QHI all feature steel reinforcing if they are over 2 feet.

Not all window companies house their own installation team. Beware of sub-contracted install teams that are not trained to perform proper window installation. Poor installation can result in leaking, energy loss, and damage to your walls. QHI window installation teams are employed by QHI and trained to perform expert installation. This is why QHI can offer a Lifetime Warranty on Vinyltek Window installations. All QHI professional installers are trained to meet the following standards:
