Re: Still looking...

WOW: Is a foil the same thing as meaning that it is actually the color of the vinyl? Sorry, just making sure I understand the use of the term foil. Out of curiosity, what brand are you focusing on now? I only ask as I have seen in the past that you were a proponent of the Soft-lite product. Thanks a...

Still looking...

Thanks to all who have responded to my posts previously, and yes, I really have been looking at windows for more than 6 months. :shock: I was about the pull the trigger on Soft-lite imperial LS, but in dealing with a window distributor, he mentioned that the Ply-gem Premium Series windows might fit ...

Re: Getting closer to decision - Thoughts?

Here is my original post that supplied probably way too much information: http://www.vinyl-replacement-windows.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5448 In short, we had leaking issues that we have now learned were caused by the alarm system that we had installed. We originally thought it was an instal...

Getting closer to decision - Thoughts?

I posted a long-winded question back in April about getting new windows installed in our 6 year old home, and won't bore again with all of the details, but greatly appreciated all of the responses. We are finally getting close to decision time for several reasons, and I want to get thoughts on a few...

Re: Paralysis by Analysis!

On the issue of subs: You are right, I kept reading the horror stories on here about HD and big box stores and presumed use of subs equals poor install. Glad to hear it explained and frankly makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. As to install, the mention that perhaps a nail flange will prevent a...

Re: Paralysis by Analysis!

I contacted Inline on their website, and looks like a Canadian company, but I inquired if had any dealers in my area. I will take a good look. Sounds like other than that, we are looking at the right windows. And apparently, I will play close attention to handle as noted by WOW! Anyone have a strong...

Re: Paralysis by Analysis!

Homesealed: Thanks so much for the response, and glad to see that we are on the right track! As to windows, you mention asthetics of the Fiberglass, I presume you mean the smaller profile? If this were your home (and the largest asset you own), which windows would you be using? I like the looks of t...

Paralysis by Analysis!

Greetings to everyone from someone who has been reading this board for the last couple of months. I really appreciate all of the information that is provided on this board, but have to admit that I feel like the more that I learn about windows and talk to contractors, the more questions I have. I am...
