Re: Picture Windows
Can anyone recommend a brand which is superior to Simonton? I thought they were supposed to be pretty good.

Re: Picture Windows
I did think of that, but the picture windows are in a different room than the other replacements. If, for some reason, a company was known to be superior to Simonton in picture window design, I wouldn't let some differences in appearance stop me from going for the better product. If not, then I have...

I hope I'm in the right board. I'm going to replace two picture windows on Long Island, NY and am thinking to go with a bow window or a flat panel with two double hungs on either side. The flat panel configuration is the existing configuration. I live on a barrier island on the south shore and am go...

Re: Simonton 5500 Help
I've been following this thread. My contractor is here with me and would like to know why you think the cans are worthless. He uses the cans and likes the accuracy of the bendable tubes.

Re: recommended features for simonton 5500 for Long Island, Ne
Interestingly, based on what I'm seeing in this forum, it appears as though my contractor has been getting incorrect information from his window distributor, whose advice he has always accepted without question. When I asked him to price out windows based on Bill's advice, i.e., Super Spacer to the ...

Serious Materials Quantum2 windows v. Simonton 9800
I am not a forum poster-type and am totally new to this concept. I am a big lurker, however. I hope this goes through. Anyway, I am considering Serious Materials Quantum2 windows and the specs put out by the company on their website seem too good to be true. U-value 0.10 R-value 10 SHGC .33 Visible ...
