Re: Drowning in a sea of casement windows!

I will with the Simonton estimate. They carry both. I have a feeling the Sunrise are out of my price range, but I'm going to still get a quote.

Re: Drowning in a sea of casement windows!

Thanks for the reply! Dave was over last night. It was great to finally meet someone who is passionate about what he does. As soon as I said I wanted a great "Bang for the Buck" window, he showed me the Okna 700 casement. I got quoted for the triple pane deluxe package which wasn't much mo...

Re: Drowning in a sea of casement windows!

Awesome. Thanks for the reply.

Re: Drowning in a sea of casement windows!

Another update. A good friend of mine works for Simonton and gave me a call today. He's going to reach out to one of his local reps and have him call me. After researching, it seems that the Reflections 5500 is a decent window, but I'm wondering about the Impressions 9800 and the Prisim Platinum. An...

Re: Drowning in a sea of casement windows!

Are you able to provide me with any pics? Brochure? Their website is a bit vague on locating a dealer.

Re: Drowning in a sea of casement windows!

Thanks Randy!

What are we talking price point wise? We are in a starter house and won't be in it more than another 3-5 years (unless the market still sucks by then).

Re: Drowning in a sea of casement windows!

Thanks for the tip! Hopefully one of the next 2 companies sells them. I also contacted them for a brochure.
