Re: Install: What's the RIGHT answer?
I currently have a home that was built in 1961 making it nearly 50 years old. It has the old aluminum framed single pane windows which need replacing. I’ve been told of vinyl retro-fit as well as nail on fin fit windows. I have lap siding and it seems to cause a bit of confusion. I am not getting t...

No I don't sell or install SilverLine products. Because after almost 24 years in this industry I can recognize good window design and bad.

Re: Silverline
I'd find it hard to believe it was the 9500 Silverlines. Yes, the 1200dh are pos but the 9500 is a decent dh.tagts wrote:Don't buy the Silverline. If only I'd read this board before I did I wouldn't be having $10k of buyers remorse. They leak air in from outside like crazy.
