Why Simonton 5500 Series?
Built for Houston’s Heat & Humidity
The vinyl used in the 5500 Series is engineered to resist warping, swelling, or fading, even during long, hot summers. It won’t crack under pressure or dry out from sun exposure, making it a perfect match for Houston’s weather extremes.
Excellent Energy Efficiency
Simonton 5500 windows feature multi-chambered frames, Low-E glass coatings, and argon gas insulation that help reduce heat transfer and keep your indoor temperatures consistent. That means less strain on your HVAC system and lower energy bills—especially during those sweltering July afternoons.
Classic Style That Fits Any Home
Smooth, Reliable Performance
Hassle-Free Maintenance

Find the Right Look, Fit, and Function for Every Room
Double-Hung Windows
The most popular style for many Houston-area homes, double-hung windows offer timeless appeal and everyday practicality.
Slider (Gliding) Windows
Sliding windows open horizontally for smooth, space-saving operation—perfect for areas where a swinging sash would get in the way.
Casement Windows
Casement windows open outward like a door, offering excellent ventilation and an unobstructed view.
Awning Windows
Similar to casements but hinged at the top, awning windows open outward from the bottom—letting in fresh air even during light rain.
Picture Windows
Picture windows don’t open, but they bring in lots of natural light and frame outdoor views beautifully.
Bay & Bow Windows
Want to make a statement or add more dimension to your room? Bay and bow windows extend outward from your home, creating additional space and dramatic light.
Specialty Shapes
Have a unique design in mind? The Simonton 5500 Series includes custom shapes like arches, circles, triangles, and more.
