How good are rehau windows in comparison to jeldwen es7000?

[hab138]

I am comparing Rehau to Jeld wen and a window that uses phtech vinyl
see phtech.ca and centuryglass.org/ for info.
thanks

Rehau's roots are Germany and they make a number of different extrusions from mid-performing to some pretty close to the top shelf, so without looking at the product your comparing it's hard to tell.I have seen some PHTech extrusions in the upper Midwest and those products are top shelf. In most cases Jeld-Wen does not compete with either of the forementioned.

I think I am going with the 1400 line of vinyl from rehau
and phtech only seems to have one set of vinyl for their windows
either way i am replacing, awning, pictures and fixed windows,
and in the JeldWen line it's the es7000
I kinda am leaning towards the jeldwen for the warranty.
but when the sales guys came around, I saw the value of the phtech was quite good.. even though they were on the high end of my quote lists..

I hate spending big ticket $$$


thanks for the advice.
