Anlin Windows, Built for Hawaii

Anlin Windows & Doors is a vinyl window manufacturer based in Clovis, California. Windows Hawaii has partnered with Anlin since 1995 and is the exclusive authorized Anlin dealer in Hawaii, recognized by Anlin as a 5-Star Partner. The Ali’i Extreme series is the line Anlin designed specifically for island homes, and it’s our most popular window on Oahu.

Hawaii is hard on windows. Strong sun, salt air, humidity and trade-wind rain break down cheap frames and seals. Ali’i Extreme is built around those problems, from the glass package to the hardware.

What Makes Ali’i Extreme Different

  • Dual-pane glass with argon gas. Every unit is insulated, with argon between the panes to slow heat transfer.
  • SunMatrix Low-E (optional). Four layers of Low-E coating reflect solar heat, a good upgrade for west-facing rooms that bake in the afternoon. Learn more in our Low-E glass guide.
  • True Dual Seal and Platinum Elite spacer. A warm-edge spacer and a two-part seal help keep moisture out of the glass unit, which is what causes foggy windows.
  • Quieter rooms. Anlin uses glass of different thicknesses to dampen sound, and says it cuts up to 50% of outside noise compared to typical dual-pane windows.
  • Stainless steel where it counts. The balance system and roller axles are stainless steel, and an optional 1/4″ stainless sash deadbolt is available for sliders.
  • Easy-clean exterior coating. An optional exterior coating helps break down dirt so salt spray and dust rinse off more easily.
  • Security glass option. First Guard laminated glass meets the ASTM F1233 forced-entry standard.

Styles and Colors

Ali’i Extreme comes in the styles most Oahu homes use: single and double sliders, end-vent sliders, single hung, double hung and picture windows. Hung windows tilt in so you can clean the outside glass from inside. Frames come in white, tan, adobe and satin black, with grid and decorative glass options for bathrooms and entryways.

The Anlin Lifetime Warranty

Anlin backs its windows with a lifetime warranty for as long as you own your home, and Windows Hawaii handles warranty service locally at no charge. Anlin’s warranty also covers accidental glass breakage while you live in the home, and coverage can transfer to the next owner if you sell. We’ll go over the full terms during your estimate.

Ali’i Extreme vs. Ali’i Hurricane Windows

If your home faces the ocean or gets hit hard by wind, ask about our hurricane impact windows, which are tested against debris traveling 40 feet per second and built for winds up to 120 mph. Many homeowners use impact windows on the most exposed side of the house and Ali’i Extreme everywhere else.

Anlin Windows FAQs

Where are Anlin windows made?

Anlin builds its windows in Clovis, California, and ships them to Hawaii. Each window is made to the measurements we take in your home.

Are Anlin windows good near the ocean?

Vinyl frames don’t rust or pit like aluminum, and Ali’i Extreme uses stainless steel components. Rinsing the frames and tracks with fresh water every month or two helps any window last longer near the beach.
