It water seals, if closed cell.
It insulates.
It air seals.
It acts like an adhesive.

Re: New Slide Door leaking
Obsevations: It is stucco over frame. Not uncommon to have leaks, is difficult to go far enough back to insure no water infiltration or migration. I see no weep holes in the door frame. This is strange. There was existing water damage that they tried to remediate. I think you have three questions: I...

Re: Non-Removable Jamb Liner
If there is a wood jamb behind the vinyl , the jamb liner should come out. It is either kerfed into the wood jamb or uses a clip system which can be very hard to get loose. Were either of the two guys who came to your house window installers? Has anybody in the developement done insert replacements?...

Re: Non-Removable Jamb Liner
Take an 1/8" drill bit and drill a hole through the jamb to see if there is any wood behind it.
What if it is a vinyl frame with wood laminate.

With out being there and tearing it apart, maybe destroying it, it is hard to tell.

Re: Trying to decide on which quote / window to go with
You could ask why foam might not be used?
The gap being to small or the way the window is inserted into a opening could be reasons.
You could ask if they can leave a little room to foam, if sizing is the issue.
I tend to measure tight, so some gaps are tiny.

Re: Trying to decide on which quote / window to go with
We foam everything we can.
There are some situations where you can not foam.
At some point you need to trust the installer.

Okna 800DX is the unit we find to be the best. The 600Dx is a step down for us.

Re: New Construction Windows, am I doing this right?
My apology, it is casements that are less prone to air leakage. DH have a vast variance on air infiltration. That is why it is important to use a DH with a low tested air leakage test result. You might consider making the DHs 40" so that the PW will be 80". Is there any structural load con...

Re: New Construction Windows, am I doing this right?
If you are looking for the lowest price then you should look no further. If you can not afford to do it twice perhaps you should. Do you have any concern about performance? Both the product and the install? Product wise casements are prone to more draft than casements. The design change you are seek...

Re: Sunrise replacement windows
On the surface seems like a good to excellent deal.
