Truax Builders Supply

My dad started our building supply 66 years ago. It was right after World War II and times were tough. My mom and dad sold their house and pooled their money. Dad built the sales office and workshop building from scratch with help from friends and relatives. He opened the business (originally as a wood sash and door factory) in May of 1946. Mom was the receptionist, file clerk, secretary, bookkeeper, salesperson and, most important of all, main cheerleader. We had one other carpenter helping Dad make the windows and doors.

The primary purpose for installing storm windows is energy conservation. Exterior Storm Windows mount onto the exterior of the original window and create a dead air space between the storm window and the original window. This provides a U Value of approximately 0.5, compared to a U Value of about 1.0 for single glazed windows. So installing storm windows doubles the insulation value of the window opening. A second purpose for storm window installation is to protect the exterior of the original window from wind and weather damage.

Wondering how to choose the right window for your home? With so many options, it can be hard to decide between vinyl, fiberglass, wood or aluminum. Request a free, no-obligation consultation with a Milgard Certified Dealer who can answer your questions and help make the dream of new windows a reality. The way a window operates can provide a room with the right amount of light and air flow. Take time to envision how you want your window to open and what it can help you achieve throughout your home.

Fiberglass doors are ideal for many door replacement projects due to the many decorative designs, finish options, and entryway configurations. They are a great choice for high exposure areas where wood doors have not held up well. Of course, they are also perfect for new construction. We keep many beautiful fiberglass doors on display to help you select the best doors for your needs and taste. They represent many of the design choices offered by the manufacturers listed below. Our friendly, informative, and helpful sales staff will be glad to walk you through the selection process whether you want to do-it-yourself or have us install your selection.
