Alpine Glass & Mirror has been solving window problems in the Vail Valley for over 30 years. When it comes time to replace windows, you have two choices: Replacing only the glass while keeping the original frame - referred to as installing a new Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) - or installing an entirely new window that uses the latest in technology.

Fogged windows do more than spoil your view. A fogged window means your seal has broken allowing outside air between your windows panes. This means your window is providing you the benefit of only a single pane window! Save money and help the environment by repairing your window.

Today's windows can:

• Save Money - Low-E coatings and insulated spacers and frames can significantly reduce winter heat loss.
• Improved Daylight and View - New glazings with low-E coatings can reduce solar heat gain in the summer with a minimal loss of visible light.
• Improved Comfort - Comfort improves because window temperatures are more moderate and there are fewer drafts.
• Reduced Fading - Low-E coatings within the window can reduce ultraviolet (UV) and other solar radiation, which cause fading of fabrics and furnishings.
• Noise Reduction - Our noise-reduction windows can greatly minimize noise from highways, motorcycles, snowplows or a neighbor's barking dog.
• Add Beauty - A new window can add beauty to a home. The Wood Clad series from Milgard feature a Fir interior. Fir is a beautiful wood when stained.

For new IGU units, Alpine uses Old Castle Glass and Arch Aluminum, two of the most respected manufacturers in the country. For new windows, we use MILGARD Windows, winner of best vinyl replacement window for four of the past six years and the maker of the new fiberglass exterior window with wood interior.
