So we finally went with Anlin. Well, we still have to hear from the company regarding the final measurements, ... After all we've been through I won't feel like it's all set and done until the windows are actually here! For the 12 windows and 2 patio doors we got the anlin catalina ...

Your 45 inch or so window will NOT meet egress, to narrow. I have not heard anything bad of Anlin, and understand it to be a solid product. Ply-Gem 200 series will serve you well, IMO. Anlin will make you a window that will meet egress for the 45 inch, so you might check ...

... this place offers a bunch of options, milgard tuscany, pella, plygem, anlin, etc. i wrote the measurements and number of windows we need and walked into this showroom to see how much the windows would cost. so the ...

... My quote on Simonton 7300/7500 mix of products came in at ~60% of the Anlin/American Vision Windows install quote. The Simonton install would be done by a small couple person contractor ...

+1, I don't believe that any of those are available out there at this time. I have not used Anlin , nor have I heard anything bad. My recommendation would be to compare the performance ratings... The only windows that I personally feel confident in recommending out there are the Simonton and Milgard.

Not sure about Soft-Lite or Sunrise but HiMark and Okna are not out in CA yet.

Anlin appears to be well regarded.

... WoW. I take it from your response that you agree that most of the windows you and some others normally tout as the best simply aren't available ... please correct me if I'm wrong, that you don't have any experience with Anlin windows?

Take Schuco out of the mix. They are long since gone.

I would also look for Amerimax, Anlin, Milgard.

I don't know the West Coast offering too well but there are several threads on here with peoples experiences with West Coast offerings.

Anlin is the best of that group. Might take a look at Amerimax and Simonton as they are likely available to you.

can anyone tell me how to pick the brand of windows which would last and work best in the central valley climate? summers are 90-100, winters are 30-40. i have been pitched Anlin, Milgard, and Mercer. by 3 different installers. I have 22 windows to replace. ouch....

I'm in Northern Virginia so I'm not familiar with the choices available to you out west. Might try Amerimax, Anlin or Milgard.
