Do I need to schedule a home visit to get a quote?

Not initially. Start with our 60-second online calculator for instant pricing. If you'd like to move forward, we'll schedule a free virtual consultation to discuss your project, followed by an on-site precision measurement visit to ensure perfect fit before production.

What areas in Texas do you serve?

We currently serve the entire state of Texas from our local warehouse and business office. Whether you're in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, or anywhere in between, we deliver premium European windows directly to your doorstep.

I've never heard of Elika. Are you new?

We're new to Texas, but far from new to the industry. We have 15+ years of proven experience manufacturing premium windows in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia—regions with even harsher climates than Texas.

We're bringing that European quality and expertise to the American market with local support and competitive pricing.

About Our Products

What's the difference between UPVC and regular vinyl windows?

Great question—this is important. European UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) is superior to standard American vinyl in every measure:

  • Better insulation - Can reduce energy bills by up to 30%
  • Superior durability - Won't warp, crack, or fade even in extreme heat
  • Excellent noise reduction - Reduce outside noise by up to 60%
  • Zero maintenance - Never needs painting or special care

Think of it like comparing a luxury sedan to an economy car—both get you there, but the experience is entirely different.

What are aluminum thermal break windows?

Aluminum thermal break technology is like wearing an insulated jacket in winter—it stops heat transfer. A special insulating material sits between the interior and exterior aluminum, preventing Texas heat from entering your home.

Benefits:

  • Sleek, modern aesthetic with slim profiles
  • Exceptional strength for large glass spans
  • Maximum durability in extreme weather
  • Outstanding energy efficiency despite metal frames

Perfect for contemporary designs, new construction, and commercial projects.

Which is better: UPVC or aluminum thermal break?

Both are premium options—it depends on your priorities:

Choose UPVC if you want:

  • Maximum energy efficiency
  • Best noise reduction
  • Most cost-effective premium option
  • Traditional or classic home styles

Choose Aluminum Thermal Break if you want:

  • Modern, architectural aesthetic
  • Larger window spans
  • Maximum strength and durability
  • Floor-to-ceiling glass designs

Do you offer custom sizes and designs?

Absolutely. Every window and door we manufacture is custom-made to your exact specifications. Whether you need standard sizes or unique architectural shapes, our European manufacturing capabilities can accommodate virtually any design.

Pricing & Value

Why are your prices up to 40% lower than other premium window companies?

Simple: we're factory-direct. Traditional retailers add distributor markups, showroom costs, and commissioned salespeople to your price. We manufacture our own products and sell directly to you, passing those savings along while maintaining European quality standards.

You get better quality at competitive prices—no middleman markup.

Are these "cheap" windows or "budget" options?

Not at all. We're premium European-quality windows at competitive prices. There's a big difference:

Cheap = Low quality, cut corners, won't last
Value = Premium quality without luxury markup

Our windows are tested and proven in 120°F Middle Eastern heat for 15+ years. They're built to perform, not just to sell cheap.

Do you offer financing options?

Yes, we offer flexible financing options to make premium windows accessible. Get your instant quote first, then we'll discuss financing during your virtual consultation.

Are there any hidden fees in your pricing?

No. Our instant quote calculator shows transparent pricing. We'll discuss delivery and installation costs during your consultation based on your specific project scope and location. No surprises, no games.

Installation & Service

What warranty do you offer?

Our windows come with comprehensive manufacturer warranties covering materials and craftsmanship. Specific warranty terms vary by product line—we'll provide complete warranty details during your consultation.

With 15+ years manufacturing in extreme climates, we stand behind our quality.

What if I have issues after installation?

We're here to support you. Contact our customer service team and we'll work quickly to address any concerns. Our goal is your complete satisfaction with windows that perform beautifully for decades.

Do you offer maintenance services?

One of the best features of our UPVC and aluminum thermal break windows is that they require virtually zero maintenance. No painting, no special treatments—just occasional cleaning with soap and water. We'll provide care instructions with your delivery.

Can you replace just one or two windows, or do I need to do my whole house?

We handle projects of all sizes—from a single window replacement to complete home renovations or large commercial installations. No project is too small or too large.

Technical & Performance

Will these windows work in Texas heat and storms?

Absolutely. In fact, they're overqualified. Our windows have been proven in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, where summer temperatures exceed 120°F—significantly hotter than Texas. If they perform in the harshest Middle Eastern heat, Texas summers are easy.

Our products also meet hurricane-force wind resistance standards, perfect for Texas storm season.

How much can I save on energy bills?

Homeowners typically see energy savings of 25-35% after installing our thermal break windows, depending on existing window conditions and home size. The superior insulation keeps cool air inside during brutal Texas summers, reducing your HVAC workload.

Do your windows meet Texas energy codes?

Yes, all our windows meet or exceed Texas energy code requirements and can contribute to LEED certification points for commercial projects. We provide all necessary documentation and certifications.

How do your windows reduce noise?

Our UPVC windows can reduce outside noise by up to 60% thanks to multi-chamber design and high-quality seals. Perfect if you live near busy streets, highways, or airports.

Are your windows hurricane/impact resistant?

Our windows can be configured to meet hurricane and impact resistance requirements. During your consultation, let us know your specific needs and local building codes—we'll recommend the appropriate specifications.
