Cascade Windows

Cascade windows and doors are for homeowners choosing windows, patio access and larger door openings for a home project. The Cascade Series offers custom window sizes and glazing choices, while the brand also offers patio doors, folding doors and a Multi-Slide Door System. That range gives you room to plan around different openings.

Cascade Windows is a window and door manufacturer. Its corporate location is in Spokane Valley, Washington. Its products include vinyl windows, patio doors, folding doors and a Multi-Slide Door System.

Cascade Series windows

The Cascade Series has a classic wide frame and equal sight lines intended to resemble a wood window. Frame width deserves attention because it takes up part of the opening. Judge the proportions alongside your trim.

Custom sizes help you plan around existing openings. Settle the installation approach before ordering, because the opening you measure depends on what existing frame material stays and what comes out. Establish the opening dimensions before choosing the window size.

The Cascade Series has a concrete construction detail in its favor: welded frame and sash corners for weather resistance. Double weather-stripping helps resist air and water infiltration, and steel reinforcement supports the locking hardware. Those are useful reasons to consider the series. Work the standard auto-lock and the handle on the window style you’re considering.

Cascade describes its warranty as limited lifetime. Compare the component terms: sealed insulating glass has coverage for material obstruction of vision on its internal surfaces for up to 10 years from the purchase date; hardware and mechanical parts have coverage for specified defects for five years under normal environmental conditions.

Choose the glass for the room

The Cascade Series lists dual-pane glass with standard dual-coat low-E or EC coating. Argon gas and upgraded spacers are options. Comparing the series name while leaving the glass package vague is an easy mistake. Put the exact glazing and spacer selection beside each opening in your comparison.

EC emphasizes increased visible light transmission. EC+ uses triple-coat internal low-E formulated to reject solar heat. For a room that overheats in direct sun, solar heat rejection deserves attention. Choose the glazing around the room’s exposure and daylight needs.

Plan the door opening

Cascade offers patio doors, folding doors and a Multi-Slide Door System. Start with how you’ll move between the house and patio, then consider where the moving panels will sit when the door is open. For folding or multi-slide doors, draw that open position beside the furniture layout before settling the opening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Cascade windows any good?

Cascade windows have useful construction details: welded frame and sash corners, double weather-stripping and steel reinforcement supporting the locking hardware. Those address real concerns about weather resistance and lock support. For your project, the stronger comparison is the rating for the exact window and glass package, because those construction details alone won’t tell you its energy performance.

What warranty do Cascade windows have?

Cascade windows carry a limited warranty with different coverage periods for different parts, so “limited lifetime” doesn’t mean every part is covered for life. Sealed insulating glass is covered against material obstruction of vision on its internal surfaces for up to 10 years, while hardware and mechanical parts have five-year coverage for specified defects under normal environmental conditions. Insulating glass stress cracks have coverage for up to one year. Those periods run from the purchase date, and you must report a defect within 60 days of its appearance and within the applicable warranty notice period.

Does Cascade make doors as well as windows?

Yes. Cascade makes patio doors, folding doors and a multi-slide door system as well as windows. When you’re planning a large opening, the space the panels occupy when open matters just as much as the opening width.

Is Cascade Windows based in Spokane?

Cascade Windows lists its corporate and billing location in Spokane Valley, Washington. That address doesn’t establish where your particular windows were manufactured.
