Garden Windows

Thompson Creek’s® vinyl garden windows add dimension and light to your kitchen. Our garden windows include shelving space, making them perfect for an in-home herb and vegetable garden.

Garden Windows for Kitchens

Most garden windows go above the kitchen sink, where three-sided glass panels catch morning and afternoon light from angles a flat window can’t. The built-in shelf doubles as growing space for herbs, and the projection adds counter-adjacent depth without a full addition.

Also called a greenhouse window insert, this style fits standard sink-window openings — no structural changes required for most installs.

Garden Window Materials

We design and manufacture vinyl replacement windows. Some of the benefits of vinyl garden windows include the following:

Enhanced Insulation
Energy Efficient
Low-Maintenance
Unique Styles
Provide Space for Plants/Herbs

Why Choose Garden Windows?

Garden windows project outward from your home, creating space and visual appeal. They offer sun exposure from 3 different sides, which helps to bring in natural light to brighten up the inside of your home.

In fact, garden windows are ideal for use as a year-round greenhouse, and they also provide ample space to highlight any of your decorative pieces. Often found in kitchens and laundry rooms, garden windows offer versatility, making them ideal for every type of home.

Glass Package Options

Doublepane-glass – These windows feature two panes of standard low thermal emissivity, or Low-E, glass, separated by a spacer. The pocket between the two layers of glass is filled with argon gas and sealed. Argon gas is a inert gas that is non-toxic, colorless, and odorless gas that is heavier than air and displaces the air between the glass panes, acting as an insulator. All Thompson Creek windows start with the double pane glass package by default.

Triple pane windows – Triple Pane windows feature all the benefits of Double Pane windows with an added layer of thermal protection. An extra air pocket helps buffer temperature extremes. Three panes of Low-E glass add strength, energy efficiency, and durability. These windows are heavier than Double Pane windows, but offer more energy cost savings over time. The triple pane glass package is only available in our 7900 series premium windows.

Sound shield windows – Sound Shield is our proprietary noise abatement glass that filters out up to 35% more outside noise than our double pane glass package. We recommend Sound Shield for homes in loud areas with highway traffic, airports, trains or other outside disturbances. Sound Shield is available in awning, casement, picture windows, and our 7900 series premium double-hung and picture windows.

Obscure Glass – Available with double pane and triple pane glass packages. Obscure glass or “privacy glass” has a pattern embedded into its surface, making it difficult for to see through. Recommended uses: private offices, bathroom windows, private rooms.

Tempered Glass – Available with double pane, triple pane and Sound Shield glass packages. Tempered glass is 4-5 times stronger than conventional window glass. Tempered glass undergoes compression during its formation, meaning that it’s more break resistant. If it does break, it will break into smaller, less jagged pieces for your safety. Recommended uses: bathrooms, and windows less than 60 inches off the ground.

Screen Options

Half – Half-screens let in more light through the uncovered pane, allowing you to open one sash of your window while giving you a pristine view through the other half.

Full – Full-screens provide complete coverage for your window. This option allows you to partially open both sashes to better circulate air through your home, all while keeping bugs and leaves out.

(Optional) Trim Types

Modern – Trim helps define the style of your window while covering the seam between your window and the wall where it is installed. Our Modern-style trim offers clean lines and stark, 90 degree angles.

Colonial – Trim helps define the style of your window while covering the seam between your window and the wall where it is installed. Our Colonial-style trim offers stately curves redolent of classic woodworking.

(Optional) Grid Types

Flat – Our flat grids offer a sleek, contemporary take on the simulated divided-lite grid. Flat grids are installed between the glass layers, partitioning the window while allowing for easy cleaning.

Contoured – Our contoured grids give a sense of classical elegance with their stately curves and colonial feel. Contour grids are installed between the glass layers, partitioning the window while allowing for easy cleaning.

SDL – Windows used to be made of multiple small panes of glass. A simulated divided-lite (SDL) grid emulates a traditional divided window, with grid elements on the interior and exterior glass.

Speciality Grid Patterns

A colonial grid pattern is probably what you think of when you imagine a classic window grid. Both the top and bottom half of the window are divided into six equal rectangles, making for a classic and versatile look that fits many styles. You can also consider going half-colonial, where the bottom half of the window is left undivided by grilles.

Colors

Custom – We can match most colors in the Sherwin Williams catalog.
