Anlin manufactures both the Catalina Series and the Monteverde Bay View. However, Monteverde ... I was thinking the sound upgrade made the Bay View almost equivalent to the Catalina windows. The fire code issue is just a consequence of living in a very high fire hazard severity ...

Not familiar with the "fire" codes down there. Anlin seems to get pretty good reviews, but to be honest, its not a window that I have seen or know personally. Do you have some issues with sound? I know nothing about the other brand in comparison. ...

I live in San Diego and am looking to replace all the windows in my house, approximately 30. Currently, the windows are all single paned. I am choosing between the Anlin Catalina Series windows with the sound package and the Monteverde Bay View Series ...

... installation will be the same. The only difference would be the product. I am not sure if Simonton is $2200 better than Monte Verde (which is an Anlin) company. I was hoping someone can at least say if Simontons are that much better than MV to warrant %16 premium. Thanks

I am not super familiar with the products, but I am not sure I see a 25% delta in the products either.

The SHGC from the Bayview is actually more well suited to your climate to be honest.

... at milgard tuscany/style line, simonton DLM, amerimax, I've decided on Anlin retrofit vinyl windows. I live in Los Angeles and I've got quotes from 2 vendors - 1 that sells Bayview by ...

Anlin seems to be very well regarded in my observed reviews of the product.

What model of each window?

I'm hoping to find comparison/reviews between these two manufacturers for San Diego replacement windows. I believe I have at least two well-regarded installers, but would appreciate "independent" opinions.

1. Anlin seems to be well regarded on the feedback I have seen. I don't have personal knowledge of the window so please take that information as 3rd party. 2. I always prefer a sloped sill. The issues are as much for rain as ...

... my verbose prior post. Here are my main questions, more concisely: 1) Anlin window specs (SGHC, etc--not worth posting the details--plus included ... nicer. 4) In the Bay Area, is Low e366 overkill? In northeast-facing windows would it be better to just get Low e272 to get some heat gain during ...

... double-hungs with a few casements (as block inserts). Have looked at Anlin Coronado, Milgard Tuscany, Simonton 7500s and Amerimax Master Craftsman. ... so far recommends Anlin. Have read older posts comparing some of these windows, but it seems that older concerns about the Anlin warranty and spacer ...

... - really holds true in the window industry. You may want to check out Anlin windows (made in CA as well), as it is a well regarded window. Not certain of their pricing ...

All of those manufacturers make a very good window.

Depends on the model Simonton that you are comparing it to, however, I think all 3 would serve you well.

The separation in this case would probably have to do with what installer/company is going to do the best job at this point.

We're looking to replace 20 aluminum windows with Vinyl windows & Lowe3 glass. Have seen the Anlin Del Mar window and the Milgard Tuscany 3DMax. Now considering the Simonton window. Which is better? How do these three compare?

I can't be of much help on the West Coast offerings. Anlin seems to be well regarded. In the dark brown color range, you are going ... of the noise, you may want to think about laminated glass in the bedroom windows. This will bump up the performance of the sound control considerably in ...
