Soft Lite Imperial LS locking mechanisms

Huh? Optional locking mechanism????? After much deliberation, I finally made up my mind and decided to hire a company to install the LS double hung replacement windows. The infiltration numbers and such were all great. I thought our price quote was very reasonable too (about 6 grand for 12 windows i...

Re: Marvin or Sunrise

Windows on Washington-The cover of the sunrise Window brochure is tan at the top and greenish/gold at the bottom. The top right corner has the title Sunrise Windows, the difference is clear! The bottom of the cover says Your home...uniquely you. P.s. Talked to a different person from the one company...

Re: Marvin or Sunrise

Hmm, I am not really sure which grade of Sunrise this bid is for. The literature given to me mentions no different grades of windows. I better look into that.

I think the Marvin window is an Infinity, not an Intregity and might possibly be all fiberglass.

Marvin or Sunrise

Contractors, please share your wisdom. I appreciate your feedback in my July post, :D but in addition to the brick moulding problems, we also have some inside trim and sills that are pretty rotten and have decided that we do need full frame replacement. I found a Soft-Lite dealer in Iowa, but he sai...

Re: To insert, or not to insert?

Hey, window nerd - I am not so worried about the loss of glass size in the double hung windows, as I would be in our two large bow windows that will probably need to be replaced in a few years also. Thanks for have this website. I have learned from you and the other contractors that an insert is sti...

Re: To insert, or not to insert?

Yes, I also like the advantages of full replacement, and the vinyl inserts seem to be all over the map with pricing. I have had quotes ranging from $7900 (Preservation Windows), similar price for Atrium windows and then up to 14,000 for Renewal Andersen. Some neighbors used Clear Choice Vinyl full r...

To insert, or not to insert?

Hi. I have just started looking into replacing windows for my home and am overwhelmed by the many options out there. I believe the windows are original 1967 double hung windows. Some of the window sills are very soft and we have a few chunks missing in the brick moulding. The vinyl replacement sales...
