Simonton Windows

Durable. Energy-Efficient. Trusted by Homeowners.

When you’re looking for replacement windows that check every box—affordable, energy-efficient, low maintenance, and made to last—Simonton 5500 Series windows are a top choice for homeowners across Houston.

At Champion Forest Exteriors, we’ve been installing Simonton windows for decades, and they continue to deliver great results for families throughout Spring, The Woodlands, Cypress, and the greater North Houston area. These windows are engineered to handle our intense heat, humidity, and sunlight, all while improving comfort and boosting curb appeal.

Simonton 5500 Series windows offer the best of both worlds: timeless design with modern performance. Whether you’re replacing a few drafty windows or upgrading your entire home, we’ll help you choose the right styles and features to match your home and your goals.

Why Simonton 5500 Series?

The Simonton 5500 Series isn’t just another vinyl window—it’s one of the most reliable, versatile, and well-reviewed window lines in the industry. Homeowners love it for its durability, smooth operation, energy efficiency, and wide range of customization options.

At Champion Forest Exteriors, we recommend the 5500 Series to homeowners who want an attractive, low-maintenance window that performs well in Houston’s climate—and still fits comfortably within their remodeling budget.

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

Whether your home leans traditional, modern, or somewhere in between, the 5500 Series offers clean lines, soft bevels, and a refined frame profile that complements nearly any style. You can customize the color, grid pattern, and hardware for a look that truly suits your home.

Smooth, Reliable Performance

Simonton is known for windows that slide, tilt, and lock with ease. The 5500 Series includes upgraded balance systems, reinforced sashes, and secure multi-point locking mechanisms—so your windows operate smoothly and feel solid for the long haul.

Hassle-Free Maintenance

Forget sanding, staining, or painting. Simonton’s high-performance vinyl is fade-resistant and easy to clean, requiring little more than soap and water to keep looking like new.

Find the Right Look, Fit, and Function for Every Room

One of the best things about the Simonton 5500 Series is the variety of window styles available to suit every space and design preference. Whether you’re replacing just a few windows or updating your entire home, you can mix and match styles to improve functionality, maximize airflow, and create a beautiful, cohesive look.

From traditional double-hungs to bold bay windows, the 5500 Series offers versatility without sacrificing quality—all with the same durable frame construction and energy-saving glass options.

Engineered for Houston Weather

Built to Perform—Rain or Shine (and Heat… and Humidity)

Living in Houston means your windows have to work harder than most. Between the intense summer heat, year-round humidity, and unpredictable Gulf storms, windows that perform well in other parts of the country just don’t cut it here.

That’s why we trust the Simonton 5500 Series—it’s built specifically for tough, weather-intensive environments like ours, with features that help keep your home comfortable, efficient, and protected.

Handles Intense Heat with Ease

The sun doesn’t mess around in Houston—and neither should your windows.

Simonton’s vinyl frames are designed to resist warping and softening, even during prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

Low-E glass coatings reflect solar heat, helping to keep interior temperatures cooler and your HVAC system from working overtime.

Argon gas between panes further insulates your home, reducing heat transfer through the glass.

Superior Moisture Resistance

High humidity is a fact of life in Houston—but it shouldn’t be a threat to your window frames.

The Simonton 5500’s vinyl material is non-porous and resistant to mold, mildew, and rot.

Welded corners and reinforced frames help keep water and humid air outside, where it belongs.

Advanced weatherstripping creates a tight seal that lasts, reducing air leaks and moisture intrusion over time.

Built to Withstand Heavy Rain and Storms

From spring downpours to fall hurricane season, your windows need to be storm-ready.

Simonton 5500 windows feature reinforced frame construction and durable locks that hold tight in rough conditions.

Available impact-resistant glass options offer added peace of mind in storm-prone areas.

Designed and tested to meet or exceed high wind and water infiltration standards.

When you invest in new windows, you want to know they’re going to hold up—and that if anything goes wrong, you’re covered. That’s why we’re proud to install Simonton 5500 Series windows, which come with one of the strongest warranties in the industry.

Simonton stands behind the quality of their products—and so do we.

Here’s What the Simonton Double-Lifetime Limited Warranty Covers:

Lifetime Coverage on Vinyl Frames & Sashes

Your 5500 Series frames and sashes are guaranteed not to crack, pit, corrode, or peel for as long as you own your home—and if you sell, the warranty transfers to the next homeowner.

Lifetime Glass Coverage

Your insulated glass unit is covered against seal failure, so you won’t have to deal with annoying condensation or fogging between panes.

Optional Glass Breakage Warranty

For even more peace of mind, you can add optional glass breakage protection, so you’re covered if the glass gets damaged by accident.

Unlike many window warranties, Simonton’s warranty is fully transferable to the next homeowner—adding value to your property if you ever decide to sell.
