Polaris V. Simonton V. Reliabilt

#1 Post by eb1k »

Hi,

We are looking at replacing our old Traco windows that came with our house. So far, our options are: Polaris Thermalweld (or for $600 more Polaris Ultraweld), Simonton Prism (same price as Thermalweld), or Reliabilt 3201. Any suggestions? The Polaris and Simonton are a family owned operation and the cheapest estimate. The Reliabilt are the costliest and from a 'big box' store.

Yes, I should have added that the above is for 16 windows in the Pittsburgh, PA area.

Also, has anyone used Quality Windows out of Youngstown, OH?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

How many windows are there?

The UltraWeld is the better unit in that comparison but if you are talking about 3 windows, $600 would be a big gap in price. If you have 20 windows, that is a cheap upgrade to stomach on the better unit.
