Coeur d'Alene

Coeur d’Alene vinyl windows and patio doors are for builders fitting out mixed-use and multifamily projects. Both window series use heavy-weight walls intended to improve window performance. For new construction, a frame that positions fixed glass over the nail fin adds a specific reason to consider the brand: added strength.

Coeur d’Alene is a family-owned vinyl window and patio door manufacturer with a plant in Spokane, Washington. Four generations of the McVay family have worked in home improvement throughout the West since 1933. Mike McVay and the company’s management team live in the Inland Northwest.

Choose the window around the opening

For new construction, start your comparison with the series that positions fixed glass over the nail fin. That detail is designed for added strength. The table below identifies the construction features of each series.

Heat loss and street noise need their own comparisons. Coeur d’Alene lists thermal-performance and sound-performance resources. Match the performance information for the window you’re considering to the requirements for each opening.

Color choices and field touch-up

Exterior choices include white, adobe, bronze and black, with white or adobe interiors. Black and bronze exteriors are available in all window configurations, which helps you keep the exterior color consistent across different window types.

Euro-finish provides a matte coating and is available as an interior finish on most offerings. Custom color options are also available. Keep the interior finish identified for each window in the schedule.

Euro-finish requires some field touch-up. Choose it when your job can accommodate that work. Include touch-up in the finish schedule so it has time assigned before the punch list.

Patio doors and warranty

The multi-slide patio door line belongs in the comparison when your plans call for a multi-slide opening.

Coeur d’Alene lists a standard window and door warranty and a warranty specifically for its multi-slide patio door line. Keep the applicable warranty with each product’s project records.

Plan for maintenance

Retrofit films void the warranty. Settle the glass selection around the project’s needs before installation, and include the film restriction in the building’s maintenance information.

The warranty request form asks for the original order number if available and requests pictures or video. Keep the order number with the building records for future service requests.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Coeur d’Alene windows made of?

Coeur d’Alene windows are vinyl, with heavy-weight walls intended to improve performance. For new construction, the fixed-glass position over the nail fin is a useful strength detail to compare.

Can you get Coeur d’Alene windows in black?

Yes, Coeur d’Alene windows offer black exteriors in all window configurations. Bronze is available across all configurations too, so you can keep the exterior color consistent when your openings need different window types.

Can Coeur d’Alene windows be matched to a custom color?

Yes, Coeur d’Alene offers custom colors and accepts a color sample to match. A physical sample gives you a clearer target than a color name when the windows need to coordinate with an existing finish.

Can you put window film on Coeur d’Alene windows?

Retrofit films void the warranty on Coeur d’Alene windows. If you’re trying to control heat or glare, the glass selection needs to address that before installation.

Does the finish on Coeur d’Alene windows need touch-up?

Euro-finish requires some field touch-up. Its textured, matte surface is intended to make that repair work easier, so you should account for touch-up as part of finishing the job.
