Types of Windows Offered

Harvey Tribute Vinyl Windows

The security features on these vinyl windows are top-notch. Users can enjoy the Locking/Tilting Latch, which allows the windows to tilt inward. Not only does this keep them securing in inclement weather, but also makes them much easier to wash from inside. There are option lift handles as well.

Buyers can choose from a variety of screen options, including screens for half-size windows and full-size windows. The FlexScreen is the best choice for those who want the added durability, though the durable aluminum frames might be enough for most vinyl window purchasers.

While the standard color for these Harvey Vinyl windows is white, you can choose from eight exterior paint options. There are also custom options if you want to color match the exterior of your home, including your trim and siding.

The low-profile sash lock hardware provides a wide variety of colors to choose from, including White, Oli-Rubbeb Bronze, and Brushed Nickel Colors.

Harvey Classic Vinyl Windows

The glass that comes Energy-Star certified is optional on the Classic Vinyl Windows as well. If you decide to upgrade to the enhanced glass, you get much better sound reduction. This upgrade is worth considering if you live in a very noisy area or work late hours into the night.

One of the coolest features on the Harvey Classic Vinyl Windows is the factory-calibrated tackle and block sash. With this unique sash, there is no lubrication or adjusting required.

Similar to the Tribute Series, you can choose from screens that are full- or half-window sized, including durable aluminum frames for the Harvey FlexScreen screens.

The exterior paint and hardware options are the same as the Harey Tribute Vinyl Windows as well.

Harvey Slimline Vinyl Windows

The Harvey Slimline Vinyl Windows come in single-hung and double-hung options. It is worth noting that this is the sole series that offers an option for single-hung windows.

As for the cost, you can expect to pay anywhere from $400-$685 for each window based on the accessories and size. As with the above Harvey window choices, you can choose to upgrade to Energy Star certified glass. Some of the glazing choices include Sungain, ThermaGuard, and ThermaLock.

We love the standard Ventilation Latches available on these Harvey Windows, as they maintain a slightly open top and bottom sash for prime ventilation. You can purchase screens for both full- and half-window sizes as well.

The exterior paint and hardware options are the same as the above two window options.

Harvey Majesty Wood Windows

Casement Windows: Harvey Windows provides its customers with single-hung and double-hung casement windows in a wide variety of sizes. These replacement windows make use of folding handes, which sit flush in the window and have a modern look. You can hang different window treatments without having the handle get in the way.

Awning Windows/Hopper Windows: Awning and Hopper windows are great near the ceiling or beneath other replacement windows, as they allow for more ventilation and light. We often suggest hopper windows for basements, as they are much smaller.

Rolling Windows: Harvey Rolling Windows roll in a horizontal fashion instead of sliding or gliding like other windows. They are very easy to move side to side.

Picture Windows: Picture windows, otherwise known as "fixed" windows, are non-moving windows that come in a wide array of size and style options depending on what you are looking for. To get the aesthetic you desire, you can choose between a wide variety of casing styles.

You can finish either of these windows with an interior seat board or veneer header. There are four colors to choose from, as well as customized aluminum roofing.
