Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

Yeah I'm just going to have to accept it lol. Is there anything else I should be looking at in SE Mich besides Softlite and Sunrise? Okna doesn't distribute in Mi apparently. The majority of my windows are casement.

Absolutely! I've been waiting for prices to come down but not sure that'll happen anytime soon

Yeah I noticed, this one wasn't that old though I don't think. I was hoping they may still be around, maybe we could get a volume discount

Just wondering if you ended up going with the Pure Core Platinum windows? I still haven't pulled the trigger but they wanted to come out again to give me a quote so had a salesperson out last week. Thanks!

Ok thank you! Yeah I thought they would have the same warranty but apparently only a 50 year through the install company which seemed strange but I'll be long gone by then anyway lol. The lead time on the Soft-Lite was around November and Sunrise was December. I'm not really in a huge rush but would...

If you were choosing based only on product and price, I like the Sunrise casement enough that I'd still choose it for the small premium. That said, how did this other company compare? Installation specs? How long have they been in business? What are their reviews and ratings like on google etc? Do ...

I'm assuming at that price point the Sunrise is the way to go? Are there any other brands I should be looking at? Okna is still not available in Michigan. Thanks! Matt

Ok the Soft-Lite quote came in around $500 cheaper but that was quoted with dual pane glass. He said I didn't need triple pane but I told him the quote I received from Sunrise included triple. It was the Elements line. So 12 casement windows total, 10 of them tempered and two smaller ones in the bas...

Analogies are always ridiculous on this forum, We all know Ricknez is comparing a suit from a thrift store to an off the the rack from Sears and hasn’t rode a bicycle in 10 years. I’ll give him the fishing pole comparison . I think you are on the right path since you are getting bids on some known ...

It all sounds expensive lol, I guess I'll have a better idea after I get the Soft-Lite quote. If you never bought a nice suit before, you may think that was expensive. If you never bought a well made bicycle, you would think that was expensive. If you never bought a good fishing pole you would thin...

Also, finally got clarification that these would be tempered. So it sounds like this is a good deal for these? Thanks! Matt The question is, do you think its a good deal… We cant answer that question, thats up to you. It all sounds expensive lol, I guess I'll have a better idea after I get the Soft...

That's the triple pane, argon and tempered glass with low e coating. Soft-Lite is coming out this afternoon so I'll have some numbers tonight! Thanks! Matt

Another question, I have four of these large casements in my bedroom that faces south. It gets pretty warm in there during the summer. I see that Soft-lite has a solar glass with low e coating. Would that be something recommended for this application? Thanks!

Thanks everyone! Window shopping is exhausting I have the Soft-Lite dealer coming out in a week for a quote also, still haven't heard back about the tempered glass in the Sunrise window. I'll have to send another message
