A Decade of Durability: Our New 10-Year Anodized-Finish Warranty

April 30, 2025

At Awake Window & Door Co., we believe that every window and door we manufacture represents a long-term investment in comfort, beauty, and performance. That’s why we continually review our products—and the promises that back them—to ensure you can specify our systems with absolute confidence. Earlier this year, we finalized an important enhancement to our Limited Warranty: an extended coverage period for anodized finishes.

Extending Our Anodized-Finish Warranty to 10 Years

Effective for all anodized-finish windows and doors shipped on or after April 1, 2025, we have doubled our warranty commitment from five years to ten years. This change reflects the results of decades of field performance and rigorous accelerated-weather testing. Our anodized coatings consistently exceed AAMA 611–614 standards for chalk resistance, color retention, and corrosion protection—even in coastal or high-pollutant environments. By extending the warranty, we’re putting our money where our mouth is: guaranteeing that these finishes will retain their beauty and durability for a full decade.

Products shipped prior to April 1, 2025 remain covered under the original five-year anodized warranty, so you can be assured that existing installations continue to enjoy the protection you were promised at the time of purchase.

Aligning with the Highest Industry Standards

In tandem with our anodized-finish enhancement, we have reviewed every aspect of our warranty language to ensure full alignment with the most stringent AAMA and ASTM benchmarks. Our painted finishes conform to AAMA 2605, our anodized systems to AAMA 611–614. This alignment delivers you unambiguous assurance that Awake products perform to—and beyond—the levels demanded by today’s most exacting architectural specifications

What This Means for Your Projects

  • New Orders (April 1, 2025 onward): All anodized-finish products now carry a 10-year warranty against chalking, color change, cracking, and loss of gloss.
  • Existing Products (pre-April 1, 2025): Your original five-year anodized warranty remains fully in effect through its scheduled expiration.

By clarifying these terms in prose—rather than buried in fine print—we want every Architect, builder, and homeowner to understand precisely the level of protection they are receiving.
