About

Welcome To Sierra Pacific Windows And Doors

With 125 combined years in the window and door business, we’re a household name west of the Rockies, and our reputation is quickly making its way across the rest of the country. Who is Sierra Pacific Windows? We're the company building the most uncompromising windows and doors possible for clients with the highest expectations, a fact we’re proving one beautiful project at a time.

Today, Sierra Pacific products are installed in 30 countries around the globe, with a focus on residential and light commercial construction in North America. The company supports more than 600 dealers, distributors, and company stores across the country, with 5 manufacturing plants strategically located to deliver your order when you need it.

A competitive advantage with very deep roots.

Sierra Pacific Windows is part of Sierra Pacific Industries, which sustainably manages over 2.4 million acres of timberland in California, Oregon, and Washington. Sierra Pacific is amongst the largest millwork producers and lumber companies in the U.S. This gives us something important – control. We build windows and doors in a way that leaves nothing to chance. From planted seed to delivered window and door, every style, every feature, every bit of glazing and cladding is made by people invested in their work, and with the care our founder, Red Emmerson, instilled when he said, “Don’t pass on bad product.” The result? Nothing but the best gets passed on to you.

Crafted like no other windows in the world.

The things that set our windows and doors apart have big implications for longevity and performance. For starters, the exteriors of our clad wood windows and patio doors are fully encased in heavy-duty, extruded aluminum that’s twice as thick as roll-form cladding. It only takes one hailstorm to demonstrate the benefit of this. Although more expensive to manufacture, all our clad color collections are AAMA 2604 or AAMA 2605 powder coated for greater surface hardness, scratch resistance and color retention, than ordinary liquid paint.

Underneath this cladding is the thermal superiority of select woods. Our wood is treated and protected against insects and moisture with our patented, naturally organic CoreGuard Plus™ preservative.

Inside our world-class frames is high-performance glazing with customized options for your exact weather and environmental conditions. As a finishing touch, our insulated glass uses No-Metal TrueWarm® Edge polymer structural foam spacers. This dramatically improves energy efficiency and reduces seal failures often caused by the more common metal spacers.

Our Approach

“Uncompromising commitment to quality in every step of the window and door-making process as we craft products used by customers with the most discerning tastes and highest standards in the industry.”

Our founder, Red Emmerson, expresses it this way: "Do it right, or do it twice."

The teams here take great pride in what they do, with a rare combination of technological expertise, craftsmanship and attention to detail. Our own rigorous quality tests are performed every day to make sure our windows perform flawlessly. Third-party testing, inspection, and certification takes place through the Window and Door Manufacturers’ Association (WDMA) Hallmark Program and several other testing bodies.

The result? The creation of the best windows and doors in the world; hand-made, one at a time, by people invested in every piece of wood, every powder-coated finish, every seal in our glazing – in short, every step of the process.

Our Roots

Sierra Pacific Industries is a fourth-generation family-owned forest products company with a rich history. It’s founder, Archie Aldis “Red” Emmerson, was born in Oregon, close to mountains, timber, and a father in the timber business. In 1949, the two leased a sawmill together and formed R.H. Emmerson & Son. In the years that followed, they acquired more and more land and lumber interests until Sierra Pacific Industries was incorporated in 1969. Although he's still involved, Red’s sons, George and Mark, run the business today, with six of Red's grandkids also intimately involved in day-to-day operations.

Our Focus on Sustainability

At Sierra Pacific, we believe healthy trees, good water quality, and enduring wildlife habitat are the natural result of sound forest management practices. That's why we adhere to the environmental protection standards of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) and go beyond the forestry regulations in California, Oregon, and Washington – the highest standards in the world.

We bring in Professional Foresters and Wildlife Biologists to help protect wildlife habitat, watercourses, and plant life, and to help manage our lands based on "sustained yield" practices. As a result, Sierra Pacific Industries plants at least 10 million new trees every year and will nearly triple the amount of wood growing on its lands in the next 100 years, with average tree diameters nearly doubling in that time.
