Home » Home Window Manufacturers » Champion Windows Prices

Champion windows prices will range from $400 to $700 fully installed. The company is based out of Cincinnati Ohio and manufacturers their own windows and sell them in showrooms across the country - although they are much more heavily concentrated in the mid west and eastern states. While Champion does make a good vinyl window, it might not be as good as they make it out to be (at least for the price, take a look at our best vinyl windows page to see our recommendations). We've seen a huge array of consumer prices for the exact same window over the years, one person will pay over $20 per square foot per window, while another consumer will get virtually the same window and options for $32 per square foot - this is a huge difference if you are putting 25 windows in a house.

When you buy your windows from Champion, they have their own team of installers who do the work. This is a good thing from the standpoint that the installers thoroughly know a product and understanding the installation requirements. The other plus is that if something goes wrong, you know where to turn - with an independent distributor you occasionally run into the problem that the installer blames the manufacturer and the manufacturer blames the installer. The downside to this system is a higher than normal installation rate that is tough to gauge because the cost of the window, options and installation are wrapped into a single price.

Champion sells only one window line, which they refer to as their best window. This is a plus for the consumer in terms of confusion over product lines and options, which the replacement window industry excels at. Their windows come standard with Cardinal 366 double pane glass, a solid vinyl extrusion, as well as some nice features and components. On the whole, the window offers good design and construction and is available in a number of styles, including double and single hungs, horizontal gliders, garden windows, fixed frame and bay and bow windows.

Champion Windows Ratings

The Champion 8200 double hung window with the Comfort 365 glass and argon fills will deliver a U-factor of .28, an SHGC of .32, a VT of .55 and condensation resistance of 55. The Champion window with the upgraded triple pane option will lower the U factor to .17, the SHGC to .18, the VT to .30 and the condensation resistance to 70. Consumers can expect the Champion double hung window to achieve a .08 to .10 air infiltration rating.

The performance numbers we just outlined are actually pretty impressive. We would typically like a .10 or lower in the AI ratings category. All in all, I would say that's a Champion window offers a high end mid range vinyl window, so probably at the bottom of the second tier of all vinyl window manufacturers.

Champion Windows Warranty

The Champion window warranty includes limited lifetime coverage on all of the vinyl parts and components. In terms of specifics, the warranty is a bit unclear, at least from their website. According to the site, any repair or replacement (and the cost associated with it) is made at the sole discretion of the company itself. On the face of it, this gives us a bit of pause.

There does appear to be an installation and manufacturing defects provision in the warranty, but again it's not spelled out in any specificity. We will be sure to update the Champion Windows warranty as we receive more comprehensive information.

Champion Windows Prices

Hey Jim, I’m so glad you answered. We are searching for windows for our forever home. We have this:

26 double hung

5 double casements 2 picture windows

They are currently builder grade replacements. We have received the following estimates. Pella was the only company to offer/recommend pulling everything to the original studs due to 2 different types of windows (additions to house over years), poor craftsmanship (I agree with this) and to keep maximum space for glass. We like the wood interior of these windows but that’s about it. This is what we have received:

Pella: Pella 350 window $44,707

Pella : Pella Lifestyle (wood interior) $49,000

Champion: Comfort365 $30,000

SemperFi Exteriors: VinylMax Edison double pane $31,600. Triple pane $35,713

Pinnacle Group: Alside Mezzo triple pane $41,151

Champions Ufactor, Solar heat gain, etc seems outperform most windows but it seems to good to be true.

Thank you so much for this help. It is overwhelming.

Dwight, so the bids are for pocket installs, except for the Pella bids, which are for new construction. Personally, I don't think Pella makes a particularly good vinyl window. Their high end wood window series are very good, but the Lifestyle is their entry level wood window and not something I would put in my home. I would switch my attention to the others.

Champion makes a good window. As the lowest priced bid, this would automatically spring to the top of my list. Their windows provide good performance data, but they certainly don't beat out the real top tier performers.

The Vinylmax Edison is a good window, but I don't think it's worth an extra $5K over the Champion.

To be honest, I'm not super impressed by the bids if they are for pocket replacement. I don't see why you should be paying a $1000 plus per window for Champion, Vinylmax Edison, or the Mezzo.

I know you have lots of bids, but if you want to really do your due diligence, I would search for an Okna, Soft-Lite, or Sunrise dealer and get a bid just to compare. I'm sensing there might be more work based on the price grouping here, but it would be interesting to see how an Okna 500, or a Sunrise "classic" window bid compared here.
