Re: Installer Recommendation in NYC Plus Other Questions

If you plan on staying more than two years I would suggest the 800DX. The 8800 Elegante SGD is built like a tank, operates well and is very air tight, the screen is heavy duty too. You will give up air tightness, but for a thinner profile look at Marvin Essential or Elevate for the SGD. theWindowNerd

That depends on if you are wealthy enough to do it twice.

Yes, the product and the Homesealed are worth it.

Re: Sliding patio door options. Which is best?

In black exterior I would go with Marvin Elevate. The AL is bad.

I also like the Pella Lifestlyes triple pane, you can do several different blinds/shades between the glass. The factor installed rolscreen can be great too.

Re: Large home - 36 windows plus sliding glass door

How old is the house. Are you doing insert install or full frame full tear out? We might be 41k for 800 dx as in...

Re: Requesting Help on Window Selection

There is both hard information and soft information about windows. The hard information is the test results and facts. You seem good at research, you can find those for yourself. The soft information is the experience and wisdom built up over decades of of broad participation in fenestration. SL was...
