Atrium windows prices range from $30 to $50 per square foot for the window itself. Atrium was at one time focused primarily on the new construction market, selling mainly to architects, builders and the like. More recently, they have gotten into the replacement window market, split between selling their own windows and selling to other companies who then relabel or rebadge them. This is the case with some of models sold by Reliabilt, Norandex, Ellison, American Window Systems, and others.
The company experienced hard times during the recession years of 2009 to 2010 and went through a bankruptcy, but is now back in business and seems to be going strong. For the most part, Atrium makes pretty average vinyl windows - they offer a whole slew of window series and models that vary based on the part of the country in which you live.
For consumers, the labeling and naming system can be quite confusing to wade through.For the most part, it is tough to find Atrium window reviews on specific models, probably because there are so many! At the end of the day, Atrium has a decent reputation for making a pretty solid vinyl window. They are often pointed to as one of the better options at the retail stores such as Lowes and HD.

Atrium offers a lifetime limited warranty on their vinyl windows and doors that includes the unit components, frames and sills. The insulated glass units or IGUs are warrantied for 30 years, although after the first 15 years, the company pays out a percentage of the total replacement cost based on a formula they have devised.
The vinyl window warranty is transferrable to one additional owner and lasts for 10 years from the original purchase date. As with all warranties, there are limitations and exclusions that apply so be sure to read the entire 2 page warranty on your specific product prior to purchase.
