Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

Just saw this (you've probably already got your new windows by now). But for anyone else who might view this later, we did get the Polaris windows and we're VERY pleased with them. We have a few more windows to replace and - if we ever get any spare money - would get more of these.
