Here at BM Windows, we are big fans of some of the smaller, regional manufacturers of replacement windows for San Diego homes! So much so that we went through the process to become authorized dealers for a couple of these manufacturers—specifically Anlin Windows and Doors and Monte Verde Windows & Doors. We could have just opted to sell windows from companies that allow anyone to sell and install their windows. It certainly would have been much easier. But we wanted to be able to offer our customers better quality windows and patio doors. To become an authorized dealer of Anlin and Monte Verde products, we had to go through the manufacturers’ approval processes and also had to complete factory training on how to properly install them.

How Anlin Replacement Windows Help Keep Your San Diego Home Comfortable in the Summer Months
Summer is here, and although San Diego doesn’t have the brutally hot summers that many other areas of the country do, it still gets plenty warm here—warm enough to turn on the air conditioner every once in a while (or wish you could if you don’t have an air conditioning unit in your home). As we all know, electricity costs in San Diego continue to go up, with no signs of stopping. This makes many homeowners look for ways to cut their electricity bills.

One of the reasons we love Anlin Windows and Doors is because the manufacturing company is never content to just keep making the same old products.

Anlin has been offering in-glass pet doors for many years. They are a very popular add-on for our San Diego-area customers who replace their patio doors. As the name implies, the in-glass pet door can be installed directly into one of the glass panels of a sliding or swinging patio door, eliminating the need to cut a …
San Diego Replacement Windows with Anlin Improved Safety Glass
For some of our replacement window customers, safety is their top priority when it comes to selecting new windows for their homes. They want windows with good locks that are difficult to open from the outside, as well as windows that contain safety glass that doesn’t break easily. Fortunately for these San Diego homeowners, BM Windows offers replacement windows with great safety features! Recently, Anlin Windows, one of our preferred manufacturers, released a new safety glass upgrade, which they are calling their “First Guard Laminated Safety Glass.” What sets this laminated glass apart from regular window glass is a special layer of polyvinyl butyral (a polymer) that is placed between the two panes of glass. This is no regular polymer. It is two times thicker than the polymers used …
