Re: Okna 700 casement vs Soft-Lite imperial LS and Elements

Everyone, Just an update. We are having the new Onka casement windows installed, however, someone messed up the the order. All the front windows we're suppose have the contour grids and the back windows without any grids. It seems two of the front windows were ordered have no grids and two of the ba...

Sorry, I misspoke. They are 10 casements with the deluxe dual glazing option.

Re: New Townhouse with SilverLine by Anderson Windows

I am not sure yet. So far the builder believes there is nothing wrong with these windows. I think they are mad that I have pointed this out to them. I have not even asked yet about the type of front door they put in or the type of installation (Rx) they are using in the garage ceiling to protect aga...

Re: Okna 700 casement vs Soft-Lite imperial LS and Elements

We went with the R3 Insul-Tec windows and put the money we saved into the front entrance Polaris Double Doors.

Re: Okna 700 casement vs Soft-Lite imperial LS and Elements

Everyone, We went with the OKNA casements windows and a Polaris steel entry double door for my parents house. The OKNA windows were $3500 to $4500 less than the quotes for Sunrise and Soft-Lite Imperial LS windows. It could be due in part because this window company we went with main the main distri...

Re: New Townhouse with SilverLine by Anderson Windows

Yeah, it seems that the builders really do not care out there. Well I guess I am in a rock and a hard place. Seeing I just moved here for a new job, I need a place to live and, so far, this is one of the better places I have found. I cannot tell you how many townhouses I have looked at that have non...

New Townhouse with SilverLine by Anderson Windows

Everyone, I am looking to purchase a newly built townhouse around 161k. The unit is good except for the builder using SilverLine by Anderson windows (the stickers were still on the windows when I looked at the unit) . I am pretty sure the builder has installed the single hung 2900 series or the doub...

Re: Okna 700 casement vs Soft-Lite imperial LS and Elements

Everyone, I went to one of the windows dealer today to get another quote on Soft-Lite windows and found that they also sell Bristol Windows. Does anyone know anything about these windows? Also, some people are telling me to go with Pollard Windows, but I have heard that their warranty work is not th...

Re: Okna 700 casement vs Soft-Lite imperial LS and Elements

Everyone, Thank you for the information. I have two windows that will need to be a full tear out because the frames are starting to rot. The rest can be just inserted into the current frames. I would like to look at Sunrise windows also, but I cannot find a company around here that sells them. I hav...

Hello everyone, I am in the Elma/East Aurora, NY area (around Buffalo NY). I need to replace nine old Pella casement windows that were installed in the house in 1971.

Re: SilverLine by Andersen - No Choice Live in a Condo

I got a quote for the Soft Lite LS casement windows and it was cheaper than the SilverLine windows. However, $3,340.00 is still a lot for three windows. I think for $150.00, I am going to fix my current SilverLine windows with new Truth hardware and use Fluid Film to protect the hinges and cranks th...

Re: SilverLine by Andersen - No Choice Live in a Condo

I do not have to worry about that, the windows are almond. Hopefully, I will get a quote tomorrow or early next week for the windows.

Re: SilverLine by Andersen - No Choice Live in a Condo

Guys, This is great information! Thank for the help. I was wondering how the Simonton windows were? Are they still good? Also, what is your thoughts on the LoE2 vs LoE3 Argon Gas filled? Is the LoE3 worth the extra money? Last time I purchased windows, I was told LoE3 was not worth the extra money. ...

SilverLine by Andersen - No Choice Live in a Condo

Hi Everyone, I currently live in a condo in Berkeley Heights, NJ and have original SilverLine windows the building contractor put in almost 20 years ago when the complex was built. Needless to say, these windows are falling apart and the metal arms have disintegrated due to rust. Because there are s...
