Custom Size Simonton Patio Doors
After having 5 patio doors replaced with Simonton Prism Platinum patios doors, the lone exterior french door looks out of place and I think I want to replace it with a patio door. However, the door is a bit odd sized (I had to special order the French Door 5 years ago) - the rough opening in the bri...

Based on what I paid for my windows (installed) it seems expensive. I'm no window expert but I did some research and targeted a window brand and quality level that I liked and then got quotations from several vendors. The quotations for the same windows varied a lot - the highest quotation received ...

Ales If you go to the Simonton home page if you search the section for contractors you will find their installation instructions. There is a also a lot of good information on this board on installation in general and you can also google window installation. The most important thing I learned is that...

For the Simonton windows I am assuming you received the base specification (from my research it is a reasonably good window but can be upgraded with better glass packages, metal meeting rail reinforcement, etc. for maybe 10% of the window cost). The price you have indicated for the 5500 seem to be r...

If you search through the previous posts you will find a lot of info on Simonton windows. The 5500 and the Prism Platinum windows are about as identical as windows can get - from what I have gathered they are pretty much the same window - the Prism is exclusive to Norandex Reynolds - the warranty is...

Thanks for the input - I will discuss with the installers. Actually they have been using drop cloths, and covering everything - just a bit clumsy with the pick-up plus bringing dirt in when they move in and out (but understandable in some ways as it has rained a lot around here the past few days). I...

Another installation related question
Finally received the windows today and the installers started with the windows in the brick. Had a question regarding insulating windows in the brick opening - all the openings have a large gap between the brick and the framework that has been filled haphazardly with mortar (in the past). I assume t...

The windows I am replacing are single pane aluminum framed windows from the early 80's - but you are right - I don't know how the new ones will line up in the existing opening. The installer said that he would have to modify the opening/ replace sheetrock if there is a gap so I guess if the opening ...

Insulating replacement windows with nail fins
I have ordered a few of my replacement windows (Simonton Prism Platinum) with nailfins to replace windows in siding with no overhang (I convinced myself that if properly installed it would provide the best water infiltration protection). I have also specified that the window be insulated using non-e...

Simonton Prism Platinum Slider - Specifying window for high
I am looking at having a few large sliders and double hung windows in my window order (I finally have signed a contract for windows and siding) and when I compare the strength of the windows to the others I see that they are around DP:20 and DP:25 when most of my other windows are around DP:45 - DP:...
