Simonton Window Warranty Review Reflections and Asure

Simonton window warranty reviews

When comparing window options it’s important to understand the window warranty. Here we’re looking at the Simonton window warranty to see if it’s any good.

How long is the Simonton window warranty?

To get started, you’ll see the Simonton Reflections and Asure windows are sold with a “double lifetime warranty”. Sometimes competitors will say that lifetime warranties are limited to only being good for a few years, but that’s just not based in reality. This warranty is good for as long as you own and live in the house and then the warranty is transferable when you sell the house. So, it lasts a pretty long time.

Now, that’s only the case if you own and live in the house. If the house is a rental or owned by a business the commercial warranty is much shorter. The commercial warranty is only 10 years and there are other limitations as well.

What is covered by this warranty?

The coverage from the Simonton window warranty is pretty typical. It covers the frames, hardware and screens for as long as you own the house. The glass is covered for 20 years and then prorated for up to 50 years.

Here’s a quick chart that outlines the coverage:

Here you can see the Simonton window warranty coverage.

What is not covered by the Simonton window warranty?

The biggest component that is not covered by the window warranty is the labor. The installation coverage and the labor to fix a warranty issue are both not covered by the warranty.

Now, you may be able to get some labor coverage from the dealer selling you the windows. The risk there is that the dealer could easily vanish in a few years leaving you with no labor coverage at all. Unfortunately that happens all the time.

Is glass breakage covered?

Not really. You do get glass breakage coverage on the Reflections 5500 model for 3 years, but no glass breakage coverage on the other models. There’s also no glass breakage coverage included in the commercial warranty.

What’s the bottom line?

Overall the warranty on the Simonton Reflections and Asure windows is decent. You will see better coverage from some other manufacturers. The big advantage to the Simonton warranty is that it’s backed by a large company so they’re likely to be around a long time.

A “better” warranty from a small time manufacturer who goes out of business in a couple years isn’t actually better at all.

As long as you’re aware that there’s no labor coverage and the glass breakage coverage is limited to non-existent you should be in good shape. If your project is a rental or a commercial project the commercial coverage is also pretty limited, but that’s pretty common too.

I’d say the Simonton window warranty should not be something that prevents you from ordering these windows.
