No.

The 10 year warranty is structural. Other things are I think 3 years.

OTOH, was there a warranty specifically for the windows? My DG
replacement windows are covered for 10 years.

That's common for retrofitted windows, due to competition.
It's not a consideration for new builds, where the building
materials purchaser will not be owning/living in the property,
and will therefore prefer a cheaper deal without a long guarantee.
