Warranty

LIFETIME WARRANTY ON WHITE and SOLID CREAM WINDOWS

KV Custom Windows are warranted against such defects in material and workmanship that might result in rotting, cracking, warping, pitting, corroding, peeling, blistering or non-uniform fading discolouration of the window frame and sash members for the lifetime of the window.

PAINTED WINDOWS CARRY A 15-YEAR WARRANTY

Corner welds on painted windows may fade over time at a different rate than the painted window. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer or directly from KV Custom Windows + Doors.

LIFETIME (LIMITED) WARRANTY ON INSULATING GLASS

KV Custom insulating glass units are covered by a Lifetime (Limited) Warranty against failure of the sealed unit. “Failure” is defined as a loss of the seal between the glass and the edge sealant resulting in the formation of moisture between the inner and outer panes of glass or the collection of dust or dirt between the inner and outer panes of glass. Under no circumstances is broken glass covered under this warranty. Cracked glass due to a manufacturing defect or thermal shock is covered on parts for a period of one (1) year from date of invoice.

REPLACEMENT SEALED UNITS SUPPLIED UNDER THIS WARRANTY RETAIN THE REMAINDER OF THE ORIGINAL KV Custom Windows WARRANTY.
