Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

Now that schuco is not an option, what do the board experts think an acceptable alternative would be and why? Not trying to start a fight, but this might be a good opportunity for experts in the field to voice opinions on some of the many choices out there and also to give reasons to back up their c...

Since they have to pay for incomming calls on the toll free number, if you're not doing anything, give them a call and ask how the weather is out there. they might think twice about shameless ads on this site.

Has schuco sold its USA residential window operation?? what do the experts hear?

Pretty sure I've read about simington, softlite, allside, marvin, anderson, pella, comfort line, inlline, etc. on this board. You must be reading a different board than I am, or is there some reason Schuco stands out in your mind as the ONLY window on this board? Please share why you have a problem ...

Just curious - i posted a reply that Lindsay window company would be a possible choice becouse they use the cardinal 366 and it has been erased. Do you guys have something against Lindsay windows??

I was looking at the website for seaway windows and was impressed with U-Values, color choices, warranty information. Can any of the experts on this board shed light on this product? Mid price? High end? I see they offer triple pane with super spacer and krypton. They read like a decent product, but...

I don't understand what the glass type has to do with financing options. Could you please explain?

Get the wife on board??? Another guy who didn't read the small print at the bottom of the marriage certificate. You know -- where it says the hubby will always take out the trash, wash the car, mow the lawn, say to the wife once a week "looks like you've lost weight honey", visit her mothe...

The difference bertween chemical bonded and glued?? about 100 bucks a copy!! lol

Hard to tell with the info given. What has to be done to your house? Woodgrain windows? Tan windows? Full screens? Etc, etc, etc. It could be a great price, or it could be out of line. Double check to make sure the picture window is triple pane. The size you gave could be out of schuco's specs for t...

Not quite sure about this , perhaps some of you Minnisota guys can help out. Didn't thermal line start out as a mpls. company called vinyl therm? I believe it did and that company went belly up in the 90's. It then popped up in North Dakota as thermal line and was sold to another company sometime ar...

It's a shame that some sales reps are so shallow that they think they can say things like "we're dropping our pants" or the real corker "this is at cost". Profit is not a 4 letter word. For a salesman to think a customer would buy the premise that a window company would sell, ins...

Try Hy-lite products at hy-lite.com. they make and acrylic window that looks like glass blocks. It comes in assorted colors and finishes. Good quality product and I think it would suit your shower area perfectly. Hy-lite does come in casement style windows. by the way, your old tile failed and you a...

Skids--When you say the "winning bids are", do you mean the lowest bids are......? Keep in mind that windows are not a throwaway purchase. A couple extra bucks now might save you a lifetime of frustration down the road. $4180 is about 300 bucks per window. After you subtract install costs,...
