Re: Okna for sound abatement in South Jersey
Okna's sound reduction glass on the 600 series has a better rating than their laminated glass option and its less expensive. We go from bergen county to union county and everything in between. There is a Philly guy somewhere on the board.

Re: v5000 Restorationn (Sunrise) vs Okna 500
Consider yourself in good hands if you are already in contact with WOW. He also makes a strong point regarding the overall strength of the Okna frame.

Re: Okna Insultec vs Provia aspect
If you are in Northern VA, you may want to reach out to “Windows on Washington”. The owner ( Eric ) is a very nice guy and runs a very respectable business. I think he offers the Okna product as well which is a step or two above the provia product.

Re: Replacement Windows in Metro Detroit Area
I totally agree with that. Go with soft lite or sunrise, they are built much better than north star.TheWindowNerd wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 11:49 am I would suggest SL or Sunrise.
I would stay away from NorthStar primarily for the bad design of a pocket sill.

Re: Okna 500 vs 600 series
The Okna 600 does in fact have an interlock in the header similar to the 800. The 500 does not have that feature, i have both the 500 and 600 in my showroom. The okna 600 also has a sill interlock and structural reinforcement which the 500 also does not have. Most guys that offer the 800 dont offer ...

Re: Vytex GrandView v Vytex Fortis
The Fortis is a vision extrusion and kind of a cross between a soft lite and sunrise.

Re: Pure Core Platinum windows
to me, 50 year warranty is beyond lifetime.
if there is a faulty install, it will show up within a year so in that sense a 2 year labor warranty is fine.

Re: Pure Core Platinum windows
Ignore the “ full frame “ replacement, thats just a recommendation by sunrise since they also sell all the trim.. Both are very good products and you will be happy with either. As far as warranty, Sunrise makes the window with a private label so they will warranty it just as they would any other sun...

Re: Pure Core Platinum windows
Great advice and examples above. I also agree with you when you say you want a “ fair price” which is much different than a cheap price.

Re: Okna 500 dx estimate
agree. no red flags.
as far as you wanting pvc trim board; unless that was specified in the contract there is no way a company would do that. If you want it, not only would the company have to agree to it, they would need to charge you for it and it is very expensive.I would keep what you have.
