Each part has a story from the road behind that is as unique as you and I. While cosmetic condition is subjective, we try our best to explain how we classify each window. All windows (with the exception of refurbished) will need new gaskets, spacers, seals as they are mostly all over 20 years old. Some of the common cosmetic flaws, common to a part of this period can include: small amounts of corrosion (for aluminum, likely due to steel hardware touching the aluminum), slight bends and dings, rogue rivets or rivet holes. For further clarification ,check out our explanation of condition below. Each of these items is backed by our 14 day return policy if you’re unsatisfied.

Refurbished

A window in this condition will have: Glass cleaned, panes resealed (when applicable), new gaskets, weatherstrip and sealant. New rivets and hardware. We will clean the aluminum of blemishes but it will not come polished.

Excellent

A window in this condition will have: minimal or no scratching, dinging and bending in the frame/sash, fully functional hardware (if included), very little to no corrosion due to hardware contact or discoloration. It will come with functioning seals and no enlarged rivet holes. The glazing, gaskets and seals will be in good condition. Glass (if included) will have minimal or no scratching or corrosion. Please see photo examples.

Good

A window in this condition may have: minimal scratching, dinging or bending, fully functional hardware (if included). It will have a very little to moderate amount of corrosion due to hardware contact, minor discolorations, a minimal amount of enlarged rivet holes, glazing and gaskets and seals will be in partially or non-functioning condition, there may be a small amount of debris between panes (if double pane) there will likely be some caulk or adhesive residue. Glass (if included) may haves some scratching or corrosion. There may be tint film between the panes but visibility should be 90% or greater. Please see photo examples.

Fair

A window in this condition may have: some scratching, dinging or bending in the frame, fully functional hardware (if included), some corrosion due to hardware contact, some discoloration, a minimal amount of enlarged rivet holes, glazing and gaskets and seals may be in non-functioning condition and need to be replaced, there may be some debris between panes (if double pane), there will likely be some caulk or adhesive residue. Glass will have minimal corrosion. There may be tint between the panes that is bubbling, visibility should be 50% or greater.

Rough

A window in this condition may have: moderate scratching, dinging or bending, partially or non-functional hardware (if included), a moderate amount of corrosion due to hardware contact, minimal to moderate discoloration,  some enlarged rivet holes, glazing, gaskets and seals will be in non-functioning condition and need to be replaced, there will likely be some caulk or adhesive residue, glass (if included) may have some scratching, a moderate amount of debris, tint film bubbling or corrosion.
