Window Manufacturers Announce Second Round of Price Hikes

Cornerstone Building Brands announced 6-8% price increases on their Simonton, Silver Line, Atrium, and Ply Gem windows. This increase will be effective for all new construction products ordered on or after March 22, 2021 and comes on the heels of the 8-10% increase which became effective on January 4 of this year. Despite Cornerstone pointing to their increased investment in production equipment throughout 2020, lead-times remain unchanged from all-time highs.

  • Atrium: 8 to 10 weeks
  • Ply Gem: 12 to 14 weeks
  • Simonton: 9 to 12 weeks
  • Silver Line: 5 to 6 weeks

See below for our most up-to-date lead-time for other window manufacturers.

Ply Gem has also announced a second price increase, this time between 6 and 8%, on all vinyl siding and accessories. This increase is effective immediately (January 25). We anticipate the other vinyl siding manufacturers will follow suit in the coming days so we are planning on providing additional information in next weeks update.
