Received some product prices for sliding doors and slider windows. Custom Window Systems Windpack Plus cost is so much lower than comparable brands such as PGT, Jeld Wen.
Looking for opinions on the quality of CWS. The difference in cost leaves me a little hesitant. Installation will be in coastal SC area.
Thanks

Re: Custom Window Systems CWS
Can't say that I am familiar with them. Sorry about that. There are some very regional brands and it is therefore difficult to keep track of everything.
I wouldn't put PGT and Jeld-Wen in the same category either. Probably a bit of an insult to PGT.
Do you have any data on the windows?

Re: Custom Window Systems CWS
See if you can get the air infiltration numbers for the units. It is under structural testing.

Re: Custom Window Systems CWS
Those numbers aren't bad.
We try to stress to get anything below 0.10 and ideally 0.05.
