Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

herry80 is from India and an obvious scammer. Someone needs to delete his post. The other post from nildari is also from India and they put a link at the end of their spam post. That needs to be deleted as it probably contains a virus. Herry80 needs to go back to his 50 cents an hour call center job...

You could also look at the Okna 600 or soft lite elements.

We sold Joyce for about 3 years at one time, good window.

when I say weird, i mean alarmingly cheap. See what the other company up in your neck of the woods (AGM ) has to say.

yeah, that pricing is just weird.

I would still give AGM Window a call, they seem to be the go to Okna guys up there. They are also family owned. My brother had a 69 z28 way back when and it was a monster. I remember him taking me to ocean city md in the summer with his friends.

I like the Okna the best by far. Pella is not a good brand. If you are in northern new jersey, i would contact AGM Window. They are an Okna dealer up there and offer the Okna 600 which you would want to see. They seem to do a good job and offer a very good window. That pricing seems ridiculosly low....

Im not big on a warranty. Either a window is built well or its not. What were the quotes with each brand? Any grids?

You have the U-Value backwards. Okna casements are a U-Value of .25.
Okna make a better casement and its a step above provia.
How are you comparing a 3 lite patio door to a 2 lite? That seens incorrect.
Where in new jersey are you?

From what we are hearing, Okna does now offer a sound reduction glass. The Okna brand is of a better quality than any other brands you have seen.

I have never heard of okna having seal failure issues, sounds like bs to me. Okna does warrranty the IG units as long as you live in the home, thats a fact. If that were'nt true, we would surely know about it since they are kind of a competitor to our company. All the top window brands we recommend ...

everything seems to be ok.

Flashing the rough opening would not be included in a replacement window install, only a full tear out which includes removing all of the interior and exterior trim down to the studs ( rough opening ). The installer is correct. The seams in the aluminum capping do not get caulked.

a good sealant is usually fine for a brick opening.

Vytex or sunrise. See my response on other board.
