Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

I've been using the OKNA 500 series hoppers for the last few years and I seem to like them compared to the Sunrise and Soft-Lite versions. ...

I agree with the others, the 800 is superior. That price is on the low end of what you may find these days for a window that performs on that level, so it makes it an easy choice for me in this case...

I’ve been following these forums which have led me to Okna windows. I’m replacing 35 windows, 4 are casement, 2 pictures, and 29 double hung. Seems like both the 500 and 800 series are great windows with not too much of a difference at least from an efficiency ...

A couple of confusing things here: 1) If your flanking units are Okna 700 casements, the center PW should be in the 700 frame as well. No reason to use a 500 frame, it would look weird with the different exterior profile. 2) Without seeing this ...

In other words, are the Soft-Lite Pro and Okna 500 bad windows and I'd regret getting them, or just a little less in features ...

Not really what we would call comparable models in those line ups.
