Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

1000 series has a butt joined weld (i.e. interior) on the sashes. Different sash and frame profile, designed for a deeper glass package.

Total unit. COG numbers are only good for comparisons on glass performance from glass pack to glass pack.

It's not a great window and you should be able to look at one of the serial number stickers on his and see what glass he went with. Low-e 366 is not a necessary range for this/your climate.

What glass did he specify in the windows? Based on the data point that he is using the 5050 as his "go to" product, I am going out on a limb here and guessing that he doesn't know a whole bunch about glass specifications and what is a proper Low-e range for your climate. Where in NC are yo...

Lead safe install and window is $685? How is that sustainable? The Fortis is my pick from that list as well, but I don't how that number equates to business longevity.

What model Okna and what were the comparables on installation like?

Depending on the total contract value, a 4K differential can be expected.

Did I miss where the home is located?

Why does a private label bother you? Pretty normal process to carve out territories and exclusivity on a given set of options.

What kind of windows are coming out? Vinyl, wood, metal?

I just read the subject line while scrolling through and completely missed the Wisconsin part.

Only one shop to call if that is the case. He posts on here a bit from time to time, but look them up.

HomeSealed and ask for Brandon. Won't find a better shop in Wisconsin.

Pretty broad spectrum of materials.

Performance wise, the Okna is king of that list. If you are okay with a vinyl or composite product, no reasonable reason to NOT use that product out of those on the list.

We still use Quad. Take that for what its worth.

Why are you settled on those two brands?

One of them is better than the other. Have you checked with friends or neighbors?

+1.

If its too wide for foam, somebody fumbled the measurements. Quad Max is just fine.

Foam only. Fiberglass is worthless.
There is no butyl tape requirement on a retrofit install.
Capping is standard in most cases.

What is coming out? Wood window given the reference to a "stop"?
