A Window Manufacturer in Kansas City

Most windows sold in Kansas City are built in a factory hundreds of miles away. Ours are built at 1414 E 19th Street, Kansas City, Missouri, where we have manufactured vinyl windows since 2004.

The Difference

We build the window. We don't resell it.

A window company sells and installs someone else's product. A window manufacturer builds it. Earthwise of Kansas City is a manufacturer: the vinyl is cut, welded, glazed and assembled in our own plant, by people who live here, for homes in a climate they know — hot, humid summers, freezing winters and the spring storms in between.

  • Built to your openings — every window is made to its measured size, not cut down from a stock size
  • Shorter lead times — we make and ship locally, without waiting on a factory in another state
  • One company behind the window — the people who built it are the people who stand behind the warranty
  • Part of the Earthwise Group — a national network of locally owned window manufacturers, each building for its own region

Inside the Plant

How an Earthwise window is made

Every window travels the same line, and every one carries its own barcode, scanned at each station, so we know where any order is at any moment.

1. Your order

Your window's exact size, style, glass, color and options become a cut list for the plant.

2. Cut

Multi-chamber vinyl frame and sash profiles are cut to length for that one window.

3. Fusion-welded

Frame and sash corners are heat-fused into a single piece — stronger and tighter than a mechanical joint.

4. Glass

Glass is cut and built into sealed, insulated units with a warm-edge spacer. Specialty glass such as tempered is ordered made to size.

5. Screens

Screens are built to fit each window.

6. Assembly

Sashes, glass, balances, locks and weatherstripping come together into the finished window.

7. Quality check

Every window is inspected and labelled before it leaves the line.

8. Out the door

Your windows ship from our dock, or are picked up there, ready for installation.
