Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

Hey Bob, I just had Polaris Thermalweld Plus triple pane windows put in last week. I'm in Parma and the work was done by Airko out of Rocky River. Jim at Airko was great to work with. Where in NE Ohio are you? Seven Hills. Mind if I ask how many windows you got installed and what your quote looked ...

Thanks HomeSealed, I'm going with Supreme 3. The installer suggested the supreme 3 he just laid all the options at my request. I've come on here and tried to look around the internet research the info he's giving me. I want to thank everyone for the help. I pulled the trigger on the ThermalWELDS for...

Thanks everyone! I have attached the sheets that got me so confused. Look at the energySMART Supreme 2 (on the Surface 2 cluster page) and the energySMART Supreme 3 on the Surface 3 cluster page. The difference of the low e glass on the interior vs exterior is what has me curious. I had not seen thi...

Thanks for the feedback. Both the Okna and Polaris contractor shave solid reviews online and have been in business for a long time. Perhaps the Polaris price is good since I'm getting vinyl done with him? I've read a lot of positive reviews and comments on the TheralWeld Plus so I was comfortable wi...

Hi, In the process of replacing my 31 year old windows (Soft Lite) that came with the house. I'm also having the house vinyl sided. First time I have ever done either. I have spoken with 3 companies so far and here is what I've gotten to replace 14 Double Hung windows and 2 50"x50" picture...

Did you make a decision? I'm in Cleveland and am looking at the Okna 600 and the Polaris line.
