Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

You may be able to get Milgard, Amerimax, Anlin and Simonton. Those are pretty good brands. Sorry, I'm in the DC area so I'm really not familiar with the brands you have looked at so far.

I thought Amerimax was a low end window with pocket sill design, at least the low end model? I may have them confused with another brand though.

Anlin is probably the best of those 3. I'd check out Simonton and Amerimax too

Does anyone know which manufacturer is better, Milgard(Tuscany), Atrium, or Anlin? Any comments, suggestions or advice would be appreciated. We live in Northern Orange County, CA and are looking for better energy efficiency and good construction. Thank you.

The Milgard and Simonton are both very solid products. I think a bunch of people also recommend the Anlin product out on the west coast as well.

... We are currently in the middle of a remodel/extension to our house. New windows will be added to the extension and the current ones will be replaced. ... Based on all the past posts it seems the decision should be between Anlin Catalina/Coronado, Simonton 7300/7500 or Milgard Tuscany. Which one ...

I've heard good reviews on Anlin and Amerimax.

Simonton should be available to you. Go to their website and use the dealer locator feature. Other brands worth considering are Amerimax and Anlin.

Yes I agree, and Anlin when they Manufactured them on the West Coast. Anlin modeled their Business to Simonton, quite the compliment if you ask me.
