I need help with Simonton 6500 vs 6100

I got an estimate from Home Depot today on replacing 6 windows with Simonton 6500 or 6100. What are the benefits, if any, between single strength and double strength glass?

Re: Is Diamond windows a good choice?

Is Diamond windows a good choice?

Hi,

Has anyone heard of Diamond windows? Is this a good choice for replacement windows? I looked around for reviews but found very little. This company is located in Boston MA.

Thank you

Re: alside vs harvey vs pella vs what is really worth?

I will look into those brands. But the only way for me to me a decision on the brand is by following your suggestions and/or looking up costumer reviews on those products. Honestly, I didn't think that there was such a wide selection in prices and quality and more importantly, costumer reviews/satis...

It was all vinyl frames and the installation was going to be very straight forward. Thank you for the information.

alside vs harvey vs pella vs what is really worth?

Hi there, I am looking to replace 6 windows in my apartment. I have gotten 3 quotes, two for alside excalibur (each around $1700 with installation) an one for pella ($4500 with installation). The huge discrepancy in price made me think about what kind of a window alside is. My apartment is certainly...
